回族文化的根本性特征

The Fundamental Characteristics of Hui Culture

伊斯兰教是以商业文化为特征的宗教,中国回族继承了这种特征,以至形成了以商业为根本的民族文化,形成了清真寺、市场、回回社区三者相联系的空间格局。而回商不仅善于运用社会资本,理性地处理获得的财富,而且也是文化的载体或主体之一。

Islamic culture is characterized by commerce. The Chinese Hui people inherited such a belief and formed its culture,rooted in commerce. They developed a framework,interconnected by mosque,market and Hui community. Hui merchants are not only well versed in using social capital, but also keep striving for perfection in techniques and dealing with their fortune in a rational way,which are considered as the carrier or the principal body of its culture. This is the charm of Hui culture.
