明清回族经堂教育活动刍议

On Mosque Education of the Hui Nationality in the Ming and Qing Dynasties

回族经堂教育发端于明代晚期,勃兴于清代。明清时期的回族经堂教育具有拜师入寺程序严格、教育管理活动刚柔相济、习经生活节奏单一等特点。该时期的经堂教育活动培养出了大批经师学者、提高了回族人民的文化道德水平、促进了伊斯兰教的中国化、增强了回族群体意识,但也带有与时代文化、科技等相脱节的历史局限性。

Mosque education of the Hui Nationality originated in the late Ming Dynasty, and flourished in the Qing Dynasty, with the characteristics of strict temple entry, hard and soft management, and tedious learning rhythm, etc. The current research concluded that the education cultivated a large host of scholars, advanced the Hui people＇s culture and ethics, and promoted the sinolization of Islam and the group consciousness of Hui Nationality, despite its historical limitations out of line with the culture, and science and technology in those days.
