Qiu Chuji (1148-1227) was a Taoist priest in the early Yuan Dynasty of the Jin Dynasty. One of the "Seven True Men of the North" in the Quanzhen School of Taoism. Or Qiu Chuji. His courtesy name is Tongmi and his pseudonym is Changchunzi. A native of Qixia, Dengzhou (now in Shandong Province). At the age of nineteen, he became a monk. The following year, he became a disciple of Wang Chongyang and followed him closely, achieving a profound understanding of the mysteries. After Wang Chongyang's ascension, he lived in a cave in Shijue Stream, Shaanxi Province for six years, painstakingly practicing Taoism. Later, he secluded himself in Longmen Mountain (now southeast of Baoji City) and was determined to cultivate himself intensively for seven years. In the first year of the Mingchang reign (1190), Emperor Zhangzong of the Jin Dynasty, under the pretext of "confusing the masses and disturbing the people", issued an edict to ban Taoism and then returned eastward to Qixia. In the autumn of the second year of the Zhenyou era (1214), he requested to pacify the rebel army led by Yang An 'er in Shandong and was successful. The Jin Court and the Southern Song Dynasty successively sent envoys to summon him, but neither responded. When Emperor Taizu of Yuan heard of his name, he sent envoys from Naiman (now within the territory of Mongolia) to summon him. Qiu Chuji resolutely led his eighteen disciples to set out from Laizhou, trekking for thousands of miles and enduring numerous hardships. After two years, they arrived at the Great Snow-capped Mountains in the Western Regions. Emperor Taizu asked him how to govern the country, and he replied that it should be based on "revering heaven and loving the people". When asked about the way to achieve longevity and long-term vision, the answer is that a clear mind and few desires are the key. And he advised those who wish to unify the world, "They must care about not being fond of killing." Emperor Taizu was in perfect agreement with his words, treated him with great respect and honored him as a deity. Later, Li Zhichang, a disciple of Qiu, wrote "The Journey of the Immortal of Changchun to the West", which recorded his events in great detail. After he returned to Yanjing (now Beijing), Emperor Taizu bestowed upon him a tiger talisman and a seal, ordering him to be in charge of Taoism throughout the land and issuing an edict to exempt Taoist temples and Taoists from all taxes and duties. Qiu Chuji then issued numerous edicts, establishing eight churches including Pingdeng, Changchun and Lingbao. He built a large number of palaces and temples, set up altars and held Taoist ceremonies. In a short time, four religious sects were opened up, and Taoist companions gathered in large numbers. The Quanzhen School developed greatly. In the 22nd year of the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty (1227), Qiu Chuji passed away in the Baoxuan Hall and was buried in the Chushun Hall of Baiyun Taoist Temple (now the Qiu Zu Hall of Baiyun Taoist Temple in Beijing). In the sixth year of the Zhiyuan era of the Yuan Dynasty (1269), an imperial edict was issued to bestow upon him the title of "True Master of Changchun Yandao". In the third year of the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Yuan Dynasty (1310), he was conferred the title of "True Lord of Changchun Quande Shenhua Mingying". He was later called "Changchun Zhenren". The Longmen Sect is the main sect in the inheritance of the Quanzhen Dao. He basically inherited Wang Chongyang's thoughts and advocated that having a clear mind and few desires is the foundation of spiritual cultivation. He authored the two-volume "Great Dan Direct Pointing", systematically expounding the theories and methods of his internal Dan cultivation. He is also the author of  in six volumes, which is included in the Orthodox Canon. One volume of "On Health Preservation Information" is included in "The Essence of the Taoist Canon".
