回族概况：
With
a
population
of
8,603,000
in
1990,
the
Hui
are
the
most
populous
of
China's
Muslim
peoples.
They
are
also
the
most
widespread,
living
in
every
city,
province,
and
region
of
China,
as
well
as
in
2,308
of
China's
2,372
counties.
In
China,
Islam
is
most
often
known
as
Hui
religion.
Although
the
Hui
may
constitute
a
very
small
percentage
of
the
population
of
any
one
region,
they
are
often
by
far
the
largest
minority
group
in
the region in which they live.
回族不吃猪肉：
Nonconsumption of pork and mosque
attendance also serve as ethnic identifiers, as
does
circumcision
where
it
occurs.
The
Hui
are
often
called
Muslims,
even
though they are regarded as a national
minority rather than a religious community.
One can be Han Chinese and Christian
but not Han Chinese and Muslim.
清真：
The
words
qing
zhen
(pure
and
true)
are
often
associated
with
Hui
life,
in
reference
to
all
Islamic
ideals.
These
words
are
often
placed
on
the
signs
of
Hui
establishments
and
on
products
in
which
Islamic
ideals
of
purity
are
supposedly
maintained:
restaurants,
food stores, bakeries, ice cream stores, candy
wrappers, mosques,
incense packages,
and Islamic literature. In
the case of
food, qing
zhen means that
the food is free of contamination by
pork and other unclean foods and is ritually
purified.

There is great variability in the
religious conservatism of the Hui. In northwest
China
the
Hui
are
very
conservative
and
are
growing
more
so.
There,
leaders
and
parents
have placed a great
deal of emphasis on religious education,
especially the study
of the Quran. Many
of these parents also question the value of
studying Chinese
language, history, and
other subjects in public schools. Conservatism has
also
increased in other respects: in
some places smoking and the consumption of alcohol
are now prohibited where they were once
common. In contrast, in northeastern China
many Hui smoke, drink, and eat pork
when away from home.
