Rashipungsug (Mongolian: Раашпунцаг, fl. 1774) was a Mongol writer active during the Qing dynasty. He is best remembered for his history Bolor erike ("Crystal Rosary"), completed in 1774.[1] He was the first Mongolian historian to be influenced by Chinese historical writing, and the first to notice and challenge the anti-Mongolian and anti-Buddhist attitudes that were prevalent in Chinese sources at the time.[2]
