In the 24th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Wu Quanjie went to Dadu, the capital, and followed Zhang liusun to meet the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.

Main achievements

Before and after he took charge of the religion, like his teacher Zhang liusun, he took part in court politics, recommended talents and eased the disputes between court officials. In particular, since the Jin Dynasty, the successor of Confucius lost his rule. Wu Quanjie spoke to the court in Yanhe (1314-1320), and then he was granted the title of Yan Shenggong by his 54 generation sun kongsihui. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty (1333-1334), Sihui died, and some people coveted it. Wu Quanjie spoke again to the court, and he was granted the title by Kejian, the son of Sihui. On the other hand, his participation in political activities not only won Yuan Shi's trust, but also made friends with ministers, which provided a good political environment for the development of his metaphysics. Wu Quanjie was a scholar and a Taoist. When Zhang liusun, his teacher, played a duel to the emperor or discussed with the court officials, he would say, "all the disciples of the court officials who stay in sun are well aware of Confucianism and can be prepared as advisers." ① Wu Cheng, a great Confucianist of the Yuan Dynasty, said: "immortal Wu, who had a whole section of his life as a Taoist, traveled to Italy to learn Confucianism, was clear and open-minded, and went beyond the common customs." ② Xu Youren once wrote praises to Wu Quanjie's portraits, in which there are two sentences: "people regard (Gong) as an immortal, I regard (Gong) as a Confucian." ③ Wu Quanjie is good at poetry. There are several volumes of his collection of poems and essays, and more than 200 poems in Daici manuscript.

(preface to master Wu Xianxian's poems by Wu Cheng) Li Cun said that his poems are "harmonious and Zhuang, abundant and peaceful, graceful but not melodious, and old but not wanton, which is the sound of the beginning of his poems." ④ Wu Quanjie was born in the dragon and tiger sect and was familiar with fuluzhai Jiao. When he was in Chongzhen palace in Yanjing, he studied Leifa again from Nanzong Taoist Chen Ke, from Donghua sect leader Lin Lingzhen and from Nanzong Taoist Zhao Qi.
