关于哈剌灰人的信仰问题

On Religious Belief of Halahuiren

哈剌(哈拉)灰人是明代西北哈密地区的一个族群,因有时被人写作"哈喇回",致使一些学者认为哈喇灰人也是回回(穆斯林),至少是西北回族的一个重要来源。也因其与明代维吾尔人关系较为密切,则有人索性认为她是维吾尔化的穆斯林群体。通过对明清两代史料的分析,笔者认为哈喇灰人并不是信仰伊斯兰教的人群,将她定为回回还缺乏足够的材料证明。

Halahuiren was an ethnic group living in Northwest in the Ming dynasty. Because it was written as＂Halahui＂, some scholars mistook Halahui for ＂Huihui＂ （Muslims）. At least, they were an important origin of the Hui ethnic group in Northwest. Since they had close relationship with Uygur people in the Ming dynasty, some people thought they were Uygur Muslims. Based on an analysis of historic material in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the author thought ＂Halahiren＂ did not believe in Islam, and they were not Muslims.
