回族经济多样性与民族性统一的历史考察

A Historical Survey of Economic Diversity and Ethnic Unity of Hui Ethnic Group

"大分散、小聚居"使回族经济呈现出多样性。但农业则为回族经济民族性得以彰显奠定了基础;伊斯兰教为回族经济民族性赋予了重要的文化内涵;商业是回族共同经济生活的主要特征。这四个方面相辅相成,构成了回族经济的四个特点,而后三个特点维系的回族经济的民族性,与"大分散、小聚居"造成的回族经济的多样性既对立又统一。

The four characteristics of Hui economy are as follows： 1 ） ＂large-scaled dispersion and small-scaled concentrated settlements＂ lead to economic diversity of Hui ethnic group; 2 ） agriculture lays a foundation for maintaining its ethnicity ; 3 ） Islam provides strong cultural connotations for its ethnicity ; and 4） commerce is the major characteristic of Hui people＇ s common economic life. Among them, the last three ones maintain the ethnieity of Hui economy and are both contradictory and unified with the diversity of Hui economy caused by the first one.
