The former Chinese name for Islam. Islam is said to have been introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty, but disappeared for a time after the Huang Chao Rebellion. In the Song Dynasty, Saracen trade ships again began to visit southern China, and Islam was revived. During the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, Muslims from the Western Regions began to flow into China in large numbers, and many of them held important positions in the Yuan Dynasty. In particular, Muslims from the Western Regions were found in large numbers in Yunnan, Guangdong, Hangzhou, Shandong, and Beijing. In China, Muslims were called Hui Hui or Huikyojin. The word Hui in Hui is said to have originated from the Uighurs, that is, Hui He or Hui Kun. Today, Islam is called Qingzhen Jiao, and mosques are called Qingzhen Si or Chai Ji. Muslims form a community where Muslims live together in groups, both in cities and rural areas. The Muslim population in China is estimated to be 5 to 10 million, but the actual number is unknown. The most numerous are Yunnan, Shandong, Guangdong and Hebei. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
イスラム教のかつての漢名。イスラム教は唐代に中国に伝わったといわれるが,黄巣の乱以後,一時消滅してしまった。宋代になるとサラセン人の南海貿易船が再び中国南部を訪れるようになり,それに伴って回教は復興した。モンゴル人の元朝になると西域のイスラム教徒が大挙して中国に流入するようになり,元朝で重要な地位を占めた者も少くない。特に西域人は雲南,広東,杭州,山東,北京などに多かった。イスラム教徒は中国では回回,回教人などと称された。回教の回はウイグル人すなわち回 紇,回鶻に由来したといわれる。現在では回教は清真教といわれ,モスクは清真寺もしくは礼拝寺といわれている。回教人は都市,地方を問わず同教徒が集団で居住する共同社会を構成している。中国の回教徒の人口は 500万~1000万と推定されているが,実数は不詳。最も多いのは雲南,山東,広東,河北である。
