[quote=WANHU,516037]In Taiwan all Chinese are Han, be they Muslims or otherwise. The same goes with overseas Chinese. Only in mainland China, due to mixed marriages and perhaps transmigration, its nationals are divided into 56 ethnics where 10 minorities are considered as Muslims. Besides their attire, I can't really differentiate between a Hui and a Han as both speak Chinese, eating with chopsticks, etc. Some of them may be able to speak Arabic but a lot of Yiwu traders can speak Arabic too. I have Chinese friends that can speak German and Spanish too. From my observations and discussions with some students and academicians, Islam forbids any kind of animal or human motifs or statues in or near its qing zheng si. As I am editing a research by a student about ancient buildings and its correlations with Islamic arts, it dawns upon me how could a mosque which was established by Muslims to have such motifs? It is not a question of blending culture but rather basic requirement that all kinds of idols and statues are prohibited. With several similarities with other old existing temples, I am just thinking aloud, perhaps these old building are former temples that converted to become libai si? Wan[/quote]
