Guangxiao, Temür (which means "blessed iron Khan" in the Mongolian
language) ruled as the second emperor of China's Yuan (Mongol) Dynasty from
1294, until his death in 1307.
Temür was also the nominal sixth Great Khan of the Mongol Empire around the
time of the empire's dissolution into four separate khanates.
Temür's reign was largely successful, despite having to fight off rebellions in

within his empire.
Temür was posthumously given the temple name
