南京回族社区的消失与回族文化传承的思考

Thinking of Disappearance of Hui Community and Inheritance of Hui Culture of Nanjing

南京是东南沿海城市中回族人口最为集中的城市,早在明代就形成了回族伊斯兰文化社区。然而,近年来随着南京最大、最典型的“七家湾回族社区”的拆迁,引起了人们对回族社区的消失与回族文化传承问题的思考。“七家湾回族社区”的消失,除外界因素外,其内部经济生活方式、社区组织形式、婚姻情况、受教育的形式和内容的变化也是其重要原因。实际上,回族社区的保存和回族伊斯兰文化的传承,一方面需要政府有意识地加以保护,另一方面,更需要回族自身的“文化自觉”,通过不断反思、不断总结、不断汲取优秀文化精华,并不断创新的方法来解决。而伊斯兰文化核心价值观和伊斯兰文化发展的历史,为我们提供了极其有用的思想工具和途径。
