Qixia Temple: A famous Taoist temple from the Yuan Dynasty. It is located near present-day Khovd in Mongolia. Khovd, also known as Jiligran, is a city in western Mongolia, the economic and cultural center, and the capital of Khovd Province. It was built in the 15th year of the reign of the Yuan Dynasty (1220). Qiu Changchun named it “Qixia” to commemorate his hometown of Qixia County. According to Qiu Chuji, he was from Qixia County in Shandong Province. “The Journey to the West of the Eternal Spring Immortal“: ‘The master said, ’... it is advisable to reduce the number of carriages and ride lightly to advance.'” Following his advice, the nine disciples of the monk Song Dao'an, including the monk himself, selected a site for the temple. People came without being called, the strong helped with their strength, the skilled with their skills, and the wealthy with their wealth. The temple was completed in less than a month, with the abbot's quarters in the east, the kitchen in the west, and the living quarters on the left and right. It was named Qixia Temple.”
