Qiu Chuji is from Qixia, Dengzhou. His parents died when he was very young, so he tasted all the hardships in the world. Perhaps because of this experience, Qiu Chuji yearned for immortals since childhood, and thus embarked on the road of "cultivating immortals". According to historical records, when I was young, I lived in Gongshan, and lived a life of "eating pine nuts with pine flowers on my head, drinking pine breeze in pine streams, and having pine breeze under the moon".
1 167, Qiu Chuji began to contact Taoism, and in the following year, he worshipped Wang Zhongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect, as a teacher, and Wang Zhongyang presented him with Qiu Chuji. Although Qiu Chuji worshipped a good teacher, the relationship between master and apprentice was very shallow, because Wang Zhongyang died in the second year of his career. Wang Zhongyang said before he died, "What I learned in the machine is a Danyang." So although Wang Zhongyang is a serious teacher of Qiu Chuji, it is Ma Danyang who really teaches him knowledge. Under the guidance of Ma Danyang, Qiu Chuji's knowledge and career have been rapidly increased.
1 174, Qiu Chuji lived in Tunxi in seclusion, and then moved to Longmen Mountain in Longzhou. For thirteen years, Qiu Chuji lived a poor life. He "meditated and forgot his thoughts, delved into Dan Jing" and devoted himself to health preservation and Taoism.
1 188, Qiu Chuji came to Yanjing from Wang Zhongyang's former residence at the invitation of Jin Shizong. He was ordered to sculpt Wang Zhongyang and Ma Danyang like Guan An and preside over the Spring Festival. During this period, he even warned Jin Shizong to "keep profits and keep achievements" and later became famous. 1 19 1 year, because Jin Zhangzong restricted the development of Taoism, he returned to his hometown to build Dubin Palace, which was also used as a missionary place.
1203, Liu Chuxuan, the master of Quanzhen religion, passed away, and Qiu Chuji became the fifth master of Quanzhen religion. When Qiu Chuji was in charge of Quanzhen religion, he preached everywhere and spread the teachings of Quanzhen religion to all China. It was also under his leadership that the development of Quanzhen religion began to enter a prosperous period. It is no exaggeration to say that Quanzhen religion was founded under the auspices of Wang Zhongyang and others, but it is truly famous in the hands of Qiu Chuji.
During the sixteen years from 1203 to 12 19, he traveled to Penglai, Zhiyang, Yexian, Beihai and Jiaoxi in Shandong Province to preach. Not only ideologically, but also politically, Qiu Chuji played a certain role. During the missionary period in Shandong, Yang Aner uprising broke out in Shandong. The then ruler, surnamed Xu, asked Qiu Chuji to help appease the mob. It was with the help of Qiu Chuji that Dengzhou and Penglai quickly restored calm.
Only by putting down the Yang Aner uprising can we know Qiu Chuji's popularity among the people at that time. At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty repeatedly ordered Qiu Chuji to go to the DPRK, but Qiu Chuji refused. Of course, he doesn't want to be involved in political relations with * * *. As the palm of Quanzhen religion, if you want to continue to develop Quanzhen religion, it is bound to need the propaganda of * * * to get the approval of * * *. He refused the invitation of Jin Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty because he had a better choice. This choice is the Mongolian empire led by Genghis Khan, which rose rapidly in the northern grassland.
Qiu Chuji's fame not only resounded through the Central Plains, but also Genghis Khan heard about Qiu Chuji on the grassland. At that time, three rulers of Qiu Chuji were invited, namely Jin Xuanzong, Song Ningzong and Genghis Khan. Qiu Chuji thought that the rulers had "unintentional evil" and the Southern Song Dynasty had "the crime of losing government", so he refused the invitation of the first two people and chose Genghis Khan to come to the northern grassland.
When Genghis Khan first met Qiu Chuji, he also called Qiu Chuji "real person", and from the second time, he was named after "immortal". They had 12 flower explorations, and the conversation covered a wide range. During this period, Qiu Chuji once discouraged the Mongol Empire from killing people and killing them when it invaded the Central Plains.
Qiu Chuji returned to Beijing after the 12th dialogue with Genghis Khan, and he never saw Genghis Khan again. However, although they were not in close contact, Genghis Khan was obsessed with Qiu Chuji. When he went to attack Xixia, the war was tense, but people still took his will.
"Journey to the West by a Real Person in Changchun" states: "On May 20th and 5th, Taoist Wang Zhiming went to Qin Zhou, changed Gong Beixian Road to Wan 'an Palace, and Changchun Temple to Changchun Palace. All good monks in the world were given Hu Jin cards, and Taoist affairs were handled by immortals. "This is very interesting. In ancient times, Buddhists practiced in temples, Taoists practiced in temples and emperors lived in palaces. Genghis Khan changed Qiu Chuji's "view" to "palace", which shows that he attached great importance to Qiu Chuji.
1227 On the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, Qiu Chuji died in Beijing Baiyun Temple at the age of 80.
