collection

Jiezi mosque treasures a manuscript of the Koran, which was brought by Salar ancestors when they moved to the East 700 years ago. According to experts' research, it has a history of more than 1300 years since the 8th century. On January 3, 1982, the Koran and the people's daily made such an introduction: "there are only three copies of this ancient and precious version of the Koran in the world.". The Qur'an also appeared in international exhibitions. In 2005, four columns of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) entitled "who carried the Qur'an for a thousand years" made a promotion report to the world, which had a great repercussion in the Islamic world. The Koran, Gongbei, Jiezi mosque and Luotuoquan are integrated into one, becoming one of the important places of interest in Qinghai. Every year, the Muslim people celebrate Eid al Fitr at the end of September, Eid al AdhA (also known as "Eid al AdhA") on December 10, and holy season on March 12 (100 days after Eid al Fitr).

The four corners of the hall are the minarets 23 meters high from the ground, and the big round Pagoda in the middle, with distinctive Arabic style. On the north and south sides of the hall are two learning buildings with water purification rooms and offices. On the opposite side of the temple are the Gongbei (tombs of the SAGES) of the ancestors ahemang and galamang. It is composed of blue brick walls carved with large flower patterns. It is 7.10 meters long, 6.25 meters wide and 3.3 meters high. Two old elms with luxuriant branches grow out of the two Gongbei and are covered with shade. Gongbei, Jiezi mosque and Luotuo spring are integrated and set off each other. It's really "Baituo spring is more beautiful, and the pavilions and pavilions are full of flying flowers". Every year, tourists from home and abroad come to visit and have a continuous stream of scientific research.

legend

According to legend, 700 years ago, there lived a tribe that had created heroic achievements in Central Asia. They were a branch of ugussarur. There were galemang and ahemong brothers. Because of their high prestige in the tribe, they aroused the hatred of the king of Samarkand. They tried every means to frame them and determined to kill them. Inspired by the sages, the two brothers led 18 people, led a white camel, carried a can of pure water, loaded a bag of native soil, and took a copy of the Koran. They resolutely left Samarkand and headed east to find a new paradise. They traveled along Tianshan North Road, through Jiayuguan, Liangzhou (Wuwei) and Ningxia, to Qinzhou (Tianshui), then turned west, and then traveled to Ganhetan of Xiahe River in Gansu Province. When the two brothers left their hometown, another 45 sympathizers followed them. They entered Qinghai through the South Tianshan Road, moved southeast along the South Bank of Qinghai Lake, and finally met with galemang at Ganhetan. After a short rest, they led the camel to continue to move forward, through Xunhua's Xichang ditch, on the mount OTUs. At this time, it was late, and the camel suddenly lost in the boundless sky. They started a fire and searched for it on the mountain until dawn. At dawn, they look down the mountain, ah! A good place: flat terrain, clear flow, Yellow River galloping, beautiful Sichuan Road. They are firmly attracted by the beauty of nature. After going downhill, I found the lost camel lying quietly in the clear spring water. When I came closer, I found that the camel had turned into a white stone. They measured the water and soil, and found that they had the same quality and color. They believed that this was the destination of Allah's direction. The local scenic spots and historic sites "camel spring" and "camel stone" still exist today are originated from this legend. So they set up tents by the spring and settled down. After the death of galmang and ahemong, the Salar people, in order to commemorate their great achievements, built a Gongbei with windows on all sides and no roof beside camel spring, which became the "land of Zuying."
