Islam in China
"In China there are up to 25 million Muslims living in the country, representing over 1200 years of Chinese-Islamic relations. However, little is known about the historical and contemporary geopolitical relations between China and the Muslim world, or the situation for the diverse groups of Muslims living in China today. In this book, James Frankel studies the rich and dynamic history of Muslims in China from the Tang dynasty (618-907) to the pre…
Rectifying God’s Name
Islam first arrived in China more than 1,200 years ago, but for more than a millennium it was perceived as a foreign presence. The restoration of native Chinese rule by the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), after nearly a century of Mongol domination, helped transform Chinese intellectual discourse on ideological, social, political, religious, and ethnic identity. This led to the creation of a burgeoning network of Sinicized Muslim scholars who wrote abo…
Chinese–Islamic Connections
Following overland and maritime trade routes, early Muslims reached China within a century after the Prophet Muhammad (570–632) lived, when the Chinese and Islamic empires were the superpowers of their day, engaging each other in instances of both competition and collaboration: military, economic and diplomatic. Exchanges between China and the Islamic world have produced significant technological and cultural developments, and set the stage for o…
From Monolith to Mosaic
Uncontrived Concord
Focusing on some of this most important writings, this article examines the diverse influences on the highly syncretic thought of Liu Zhi (ca. 1660–ca. 1730), a Muslim literatus of early Qing period (1644–1911) China, who wrote about Islam in classical Chinese as part of a canon known as the Han Kitāb. Yet, rather than subscribing to the simplistic notion that Chinese Muslims responded to the dominant Chinese culture around them by choosing betwe…
Apoliticization
Islam, a tradition that both spans and transcends conventional notions of “East” and “West”, has adapted itself as the religion and culture of a sizable minority in China from imperial times down to the present day. For their survival, Muslims in China have often found it necessary to downplay the political (and sometimes militant) emphasis of “normative” Islam, even as they have participated in the political life of Chinese society. However, bey…
