许昌地区清真寺及其分布规律

Masjids and Its Regularities of Distribution in Xuchang Area

许昌是河南回族人口较为集中之地,然对许昌回族来源、尤其是全市清真寺的统计和整理工作一直鲜有人涉及。本文从实地调查入手,参考了正史、地方史志及碑刻资料对回族和清真寺的记载,对民国以前的清真寺进行了统计整理。在传统史志的基础上,用文史资料以及清真寺存留的各时期碑刻材料相互印证,勾勒出元明以来许昌回族聚居及迁移的特点,指出蒙金三峰山之战是禹州回族肇始,明初洪武移民奠定了回族今日之分布格局。清真寺的修建和回族人口的分布关系密切,从清真寺始建年代和分布地点也侧面印证了许昌回族变迁的规律特点。
