Crane Mosque (simplified Chinese: 仙鹤寺; traditional Chinese: 仙鶴寺; pinyin: Xiānhè Sì), also known as Qingbai Liufang Mosque (清白流芳大寺), is a mosque located in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China.[1][2][3][4] Alongside Huaisheng Mosque, Qingjing Mosque and Phoenix Mosque, it is one of the Four Great Mosques in the coastal areas of China.[1][2][3][4]

History[]

Crane Mosque was originally built in 1275 by Arab Muslim Puhading (普哈丁; Pǔhādīng), the 16th grandson of Muhammad.[1][2][3][4] The shape of the mosque is like a crane, hence the name "Crane Mosque".[2][3] The mosque was severely damaged by wars during the late Yuan dynasty (1271–1368). Arab Muslim Hasan rebuilt the mosque in 1390, at the dawn of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). It was renovated and refurbished in 1523, during the reign of Jiajing Emperor (1521–1567).

In April 1995, it was inscribed as a provincial cultural relic preservation organ by the Jiangsu government.
