Huaisheng Mosque

Japanese: 懐聖寺 - かいせいじ
Huaisheng Mosque


[Islamic temple]
Islam is said to have been introduced during the Tang dynasty, and became especially popular after the Yuan dynasty, when many worship temples, called Qingzhen Si in Chinese, were built in various regions. The Huaisheng Temple Light Tower in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, is an ancient relic from the 19th century, and although there are various theories about its date from the 19th century, it is representative of a brick spire with a spiral staircase that faithfully reproduces the original form of a minaret. Qingjing Temple (originally Shengyou Temple) in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, has a large gate with a brick-built hemispherical dome directly descended from a mosque, and a worship hall with a dome that has been lost.

All were built after the Ming dynasty, except for the Huaisheng Temple in Guangzhou and the Qingjing Temple in Quanzhou, which are thought to date from the Song or Yuan dynasty. The temples with long histories all had their own names, but in the Ming dynasty they were all called worship temples. …
