The Seven Great Summons of Hohhot (6) ---- the Punsuk Call

Stuffed into the old street

There is an east-west old street in Dazhao Square, called Saishang Old Street, which is the only relatively complete Ming and Qing ancient street in Hohhot. This street was called Tongshun Street in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and along this road, there is a Hoshi No. 7 Middle School not far from the other side of the Zadagai River, which is one of the former Seven Great Summons, Pun suk Summons.

The Punsuk summons are located west of the Great Call, also known as the "Tongshun Call", which is called "Boshke Call" in Mongolian, "Kuku and Tun Tong Jia Call", commonly known as "West Call". The temple was first built by The Sirabu Lama in Beijing in the seventh year of Shunzhi (1650). In the twenty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1684), the disciple of Lama Sirabu, Punsuk, was rebuilt, and the Kangxi Emperor gave him the name "Chongshou Temple". At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the religious power of Dazhao was very large, and the Qing court set up a Zhasakda Lama's Printing Office here to manage the lamaist affairs of naturalization city. In the twenty-fourth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1685), the Qing court appointed Iraguk Sanhutuktu as the palm seal of the naturalization city of Sakda Lama; later, he betrayed the Qing court and defected to the Dzungar Khanate, and the Kangxi Emperor also appointed Nezitoyin II of Xiaozhao as the palm seal of the naturalization city. The Great Summons and the Punsuks were affected by the incident, and the status of religion plummeted.

In the early and middle period of the Qing Dynasty, the specific affairs of the Lama Temple in Naturalization City were handled by the Li Fan Yuan, and the official government basically had no right to interfere. However, from the twenty-fourth year of Jiaqing (1819), General Suiyuancheng began to manage the affairs of the Lama Temple in Naturalization City, and the power of the Inza sakda Lama was greatly reduced.

Unfortunately, this temple no longer exists.
