Friday Prayer (Salatul Juma’) at Changchun Mosque before heading back. This site has been voted one of China’s top 50 most beautiful mosques. Great recognition! I was told it is the last fully maintained and intact Qing-era building in the city. For comparison, Puyi’s palace up…
This meticulously curated book documents the historical, cultural, and architectural legacy of the Xi’an Great Mosque, one of the most significant Islamic landmarks in China (and the world). It was kindly gifted to us by the author, and here we share some extracts from it...

A mosque in Honhot, Inner Mongolia, China.
Since I’m going through some pics for a paper, I thought I’d do a thread on what I think is a sub-genre of Sini calligraphy: jīng zìhuà (经字画; scriptural painting). To me, it is another kind of Sino-Muslim ‘confluence’ of traditions and ‘heritage literacy’ in the research.
Digging up some pics: At the Laohua Mosque in Linxia (Gansu), the 'Fatiha' is displayed in Chinese alongside excerpts from Han Kitab treatises, including by Liu Zhi. Traditional Chinese-Islamic texts adorn the walls of the mosque courtyard.
More footage of Ma Delong [马德龙] doing his work in his studio.
The ‘Basmala’ in gongbi hua (工笔画) style. ‘In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful’ is complemented by magnolia blossoms. A blend of Islamic calligraphy and Chinese aesthetics.
Calligraphy of the plea “Intercede for us on the Day of Judgement, Oh Muhammad ﷺ”. Bold Sini-Arabic calligraphy in a curvilinear design. The Arabic phrase “Subhanallah” (‘Glory be to Allah’/ Allah is perfection) with traditional Chinese shanshui [山水] landscape elements.
This brief thread highlights the work of Ma Delong [马德龙], an artist from Xining, Qinghai province. He is a friend of our research and some of his exceptional Sini-Arabic calligraphy [中国阿拉伯文书法] is showcased below: mp.weixin.qq.com/s/6PpLbtHN1ca9…

‘A Muslim Funeral’, a novel of the socialist-realist genre by Fatima Huo (Huo Da 霍達), a renowned Hui writer from Beijing, is where most non-Hui people in China get to know a bit about Hui culture. The illustrations of this edition are amazing. Sadly not widely translated.
