Legend has it that Genghis Khan had a murderous temperament, and he often slaughtered a city during a war to gain momentum. Qiu Chuji was more than seventy years old, and in order to save a life, he trekked through mountains and rivers, trekked through mountains and rivers, and came to the Western Regions to ask Genghis Khan and persuade him not to kill indiscriminately.
In the end, Genghis Khan took his advice and decided to stop killing, which is the story of "one word can kill" in the Jin Yuan era.
Just because Qiu Chuji saved people alone, it was really "respecting the heavens and loving the people", and the people respected him, missed him, and set his birthday on the "Yan Jiu Festival".
According to legend, Qiu Chuji became an immortal at the age of eighty, after becoming an immortal, every February 19 of the lunar calendar, he would go down to the earth, or pretend to be a tourist, or be an official, or beggar, or a Taoist child, haunt in Baiyun Temple, Taixu Palace and other places, if someone is lucky to meet, he will definitely get the blessing of the gods, get rid of illness and prolong life, and his wishes come true.
There is such a sentence in the Yuan Dynasty's "Xijin Zhi": "On January 19th, the people of the capital called the Yanjiu Festival, holding bamboo poles to the south of the city, Changchun Palace, Baiyun Temple, Gongguan Xuanju, burning incense, rejoicing, in order to show joy.
