In the early 1250s Mongke Khan, grandson and successor of the
mighty Mongol emperor, Genghis Khan, sent out his youngerbrothers
Qubilai and Hulegu to consolidate his grip on power. Hulegu was
welcomed into Iran while his older brother, Qubilai, continued to
erode the power of the Song emperors of southern China. In 1276 he
finally forced their submission and peacefully occupied their
capital, Hangzhou. The city enjoyed a revival as the cultural
capital of a united China and was soon filled with traders,
adventurers, artists, entrepreneurs, and artisans from throughout
the great Mongol Empire includinga prosperous, influential and
seemingly welcome community of Persians. In 1281, one of their
number, Al al-Din, built thePhoenix Mosque in the heart of the city
where it still stands today. This study of the mosque and the
Ju-jing Yuan cemetery,today as a lake-side public park, casts light
on an important and transformative period in Chinese history, and
perhaps themost important period in Chinese Islamic history. The
book is published in the Persian Studies Series of the British
Instituteof Persian Studies.
