History of Islam in China (From the Tang Empire to the End of the Qing Empire, 907–1912 CE)
Ahmad Falahzade , Adel Khani
Abstract:   (36 Views)
Islam entered China through the Silk Road and was first introduced in the seventh century CE by Iranian and Arab merchants and envoys. These individuals settled in China’s coastal and border cities and married local inhabitants. They built mosques and Islamic schools and propagated Islam among the Chinese people. The history of Islam in China can be examined from the Tang dynasty, when Muslim merchants traveled to China via the Silk Road and settled in the country. Many of these merchants established themselves in various Chinese cities such as Guangzhou and Chang’an (modern-day Xi’an) and built the first mosques. During the Yuan dynasty, the status of Muslims shifted from that of foreign immigrants to Chinese citizens. They succeeded in forming strong connections with Chinese society, and the restrictions that had confined them to specific cities were lifted. The position of Muslims was further consolidated in the Ming dynasty, allowing them to obtain governmental positions. However, the Qing dynasty created numerous challenges and suspicions toward Muslims, leading to their marginalization and the emergence of anti-government political groups.
