元代中国穆斯林墓葬石刻的发现与研究

Discovery and Research on Muslim Burial Carved Stone of Yuan Dynasty

近百年来,在海南岛、广州、泉州、福州、杭州、扬州、北京、宁城等地发现了大量元代中国穆斯林墓葬石刻。通过发现地点集中在中国东部地区这一现象,可以看出元代中国东部地区的穆斯林主要是迁入中国的穆斯林侨民,故较多地保留了原有的伊斯兰文化特点;数量颇为可观的元代穆斯林墓葬石刻的主要价值,在于更清晰地说明了元代中国穆斯林的汉化程度并不深。

In about 100 years, a large number of Muslim burial carved stone were found in Hainan Island, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Beijing, Jingcheng, etc. The concentration of the discovered locations in the east demonstrates that most of the Muslims of Yuan were immigrants with original Muslim culture. The dominant value of such discovery is that it illustrates clearly the limitation of civilization of Chinese Muslim at Yuan dynasty.
