some irl lore about the eastern sage Changchun, also known as Qiu Chuji. "In the winter of 1219, Genghis Khan of Mongolia sent Zhaba'er and Liu Zhonglu, carrying an imperial edict and a tiger golden tablet with them, from the Naiman state in the Western Region for Qiu Chuji. Qiu Chuji accepted the invitation. Knowing that the Mongolian army had been notorious for its ruthless killing. In order to dissuade this army from brutal massacres and running amok, he willingly accepted Genghis Khan's invitation. In the second lunar month in the early spring of the next year, Qiu Chuji took 18 of his disciples along to embark upon their westward journey to stop the killing.[7]" "Genghis Khan rose to greet Qiu Chuji, while the latter folded his hands and made a respectful bow in return, without prostrating as would have been the custom. Genghis Khan called Qiu Chuji "Immortal",[4] and asked whether there existed means for never dying. Qiu answered, "There are only ways of nourishing life, but no elixir for obtaining immortality." Genghis Khan expressed appreciation for his frankness.[3]" "In a period of less than a year, Genghis Khan had three meetings with Qiu Chuji where he inquired about Taoism, in particular asking about methods of governance and health preservation. Qiu Chuji pointed out that Heaven treasures life and disapproves of killing, and explained the principles that honoring Heaven and loving people were the foundation of governing people, and that having a pure heart and few worldly desires was the essential of nourishing life. Genghis Khan showed great consent. He ordered Yelu Chucai to compile their talks into the Records of the Auspicious Gathering with the Mysterious Wind[7][11] and educated his descendants with it." "In the spring of 1223, Qiu Chuji took leave of Genghis Khan. The khan issued an edict exempting the Quanzhen school from all taxes and corvée labour."
