This book explores the long history in China of Chinese Muslims,
known as the Hui people, and regarded as a minority, though in fact
they are distinguished by religion rather than ethnicity. It shows
how over time Chinese Muslims adopted Chinese practices as these
evolved in wider Chinese society, practices such as constructing
and recording patrilinear lineages, spreading genealogies, and
propagating education and Confucian teaching, in the case of the
Hui through the use of Chinese texts in the teaching of Islam at
mosques. The book also examines much else, including the system of
certification of mosques, the development of Sufi orders, the
cultural adaptation of Islam at the local level, and relations
between Islam and Confucianism, between the state and local
communities, and between the educated Muslim elite and the
Confucian literati. Overall, the book shows how extensively Chinese
Muslims have been deeply integrated within a multi-cultural Chinese
society.
