试论明清回回理学兴起的历史与文化背景

A Tentative Study of the History and Cultural Background of Huihui Philosophy During the Ming and Qing

我国回族是由历史上的“回回”穆斯林移民演变而来的。明清之际,正值该民族在经历了长期的中国化和本土化后其文化思想和民族意识处于发展的关键时期。这期间,该民族中涌现出了精通伊斯兰和儒家等多种文化并具有回汉双重文化气质的知识分子——“回儒”,正是他们,在伊斯兰哲学的基础上,同时也在宋明儒家理学的全面影响下,创造了我国的一个新的理学体系——“回回理学”。这既是对其本民族,也是对中华民族的极大贡献,它也证明了回汉两族之间由来已久的密切关系。

The Hui is an ethnic group of China formed upon Moslem immigrants who as a whole were named 'Huihui'. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, after a long nativization, the Hui came to a key moment in their development of national culture and consciousness. During this period, there appeared a group of Hui intellectuals ( Hui Confucian scholars) who had a good command of Islamic and Chinese cultures and who were of double cultural makings of the Hui and the Han Chinese. It was these scholars who, at the base of Islamic philosophy and under the full influence of the Confucian philosophy of the Song and the Ming, created a new philosophy: Huihui Philosophy. This philosophy was a great contribution to both the Hui and the Chinese race, and provided better evidence for the intimate relationship between the Hui and Han Chinese.
