The Crane Mosque, also known by its Chinese name as the Xianhe Mosque and by other names, is a mosque located in Yangzhou, in the Jiangsu province of China.
The mosque was listed as a Chinese major cultural heritage site in 2019.[citation needed]
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The English name, Crane Mosque, is a partial calque of its Chinese name 仙鶴寺, pronounced Xiānhè Sì in Mandarin. The name is sometimes explained by the supposed resemblance of the mosque's shape to a crane,[1][2] although the Chinese name references a Taoist immortal. As the most historically important mosque in the city, it is also known as the Yangzhou Mosque and as the Qingbai Liufang Mosque.[citation needed]
History
[edit | edit source]The Crane Mosque was reportedly built in 1275 CE[dubious – discuss] by Puhaddin, an Arab Muslim and 16th-generation descendant of Muhammad,[1][2][3][4] in the year after his death[5]: 30 and the year before the Mongol general Bayan received the surrender of Yangzhou following the execution of Li Tingzhi by the Southern Song.[6][5]: 6
The mosque was severely damaged during the Red Turban Rebellion that ended the Mongolian Yuan dynasty. An Arab Muslim named Hasan[which?] rebuilt the mosque in 1390 under the early Ming.[citation needed] It was further renovated and refurbished in 1523 under the Jiajing Emperor.[citation needed]
The Crane Mosque is accounted as one of the Four Great Mosques of China—alongside the Huaisheng, Qingjing, and Phoenix Mosques in Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and Hangzhou[1][2][3][4]—and was inscribed as a cultural relic protected by the Jiangsu government in April 1995.[citation needed] It now includes a small collection of documents concerning China's relations with Muslim countries.[7]
