Notes :
See UBR 932 AM pdf. According to Rinchen’s map and Pürew’s book (Mongol töriin golomt, p. 102.) one of the Chinese temples situated in the south-east quarter (khoroolol) inside the walls of Maimaachen was Urchuudiin süm (Craftsmen’s temple) or Mujaanii süm (Carpenter’s temple). According to Pürew on the left of Dar’ ekhiin süm (UBR 931 Rinchen 931) Erleg khaanii süm and Mujaanii or Urchuudiiin süm (UBR 932 Rinchen 932) were located. As for the inhabitants outside the wall of Maimaachen many carpenters (mu jiang in Chinese) and smiths lived. Maybe they erected or visited this temple.
