Introduction to Shouning Palace: Shouning Palace is the sixth palace. There is Qiu Zu Hall in the palace, which is dedicated to the ancestor Qiu Chuji. Qiu Chuji (1148-1227) was a Taoist priest of Quanzhen during the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. He became a monk at the age of nineteen. During the Dading period of the Jin Dynasty, he studied Taoism from Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Taoism. He was one of the seven great Taoists in the north who were very profound and accomplished. He and the other six brothers are collectively known as the "Qizhen" or the "Seven Sons of Quanzhen". They are: Ma Yu, the son of Danyang, Tan Chuduan, the son of Changzhen, Liu Chuxuan, the son of Changsheng, Qiu Chuji, the son of Changchun, Wang Chuyi, the son of Yuyang, Hao Datong, the son of Guangning, and Sun Buer (wife of Ma Yu) of Qingjing Sanren. The Seven Quanzhen Sons along with Wang Chongyang founded the Quanzhen Sect of Taoism. After Wang Chongyang's death, Qiu Chuji lived in seclusion in Longzhou, Longmen Mountain and other places and devoted himself to practicing for more than ten years, becoming the founder of the Longmen Sect of Quanzhen Taoism. He was once called by Jin Shizong to preach in Zhongdu (now Beijing).
