Chinese Gleams of Sufi Light investigates, for the first time in a
Western language, the manner in which the Muslim scholars of China
adapted the Chinese tradition to their own needs during the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The book surveys the
1400-year history of Islam in China and explores why the four books
translated from Islamic languages into Chinese before the twentieth
century were all Persian Sufi texts. The author also looks
carefully at the two most important Muslim authors of books in the
Chinese language, Wang Tai-yu and Liu Chih. Murata shows how they
assimilated Confucian social teachings and Neo-Confucian
metaphysics, as well as Buddhism and Taoism, into Islamic thought.
