1. Diet

According to the regulations of Islam, the Hui people fast from pigs, horses, donkeys, mules, dogs and all animals that have died by themselves, as well as animal blood, and all animals with ugly images. All birds and animals, including cattle, sheep, camels, chickens and poultry, must be slaughtered after the imam or worshiper recites the name of Allah, otherwise they cannot be eaten.

2. Clothing

Hui women generally wear white round hats and hijabs (also called hijabs). Whether in coastal areas such as Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Hainan, or in the mainland, they are generally in three colors: green, blue, and white, and are divided into young girls, daughter-in-laws, and old people. Generally, young girls wear green ones, married women wear black ones, and those with grandchildren or elderly women wear white ones.

3. Wedding

There are various forms of Hui weddings in various places. The relatively consistent procedures include asking a matchmaker to propose marriage, making love arrangements (also called making tea), arranging flowers (also called making a betrothal), getting married, reciting Nikah, expressing happiness, having a wedding ceremony, arranging needlework, and returning home, etc.

Extended information:

The Hui nationality is the abbreviation of the Hui Hui nationality. "Hui Hui" was originally called him, and later evolved into a self-proclaimed name. The word "Huihui" was first seen in "Mengxi Bi Tan" written by Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty. It refers to the "Uighur" people ("Uighur") in Anxi (now southern Xinjiang and parts of the west of Congling) since the Tang Dynasty.

"Huihui" may be the pronunciation or common writing of "Uighur" and "Uighur". In the Southern Song Dynasty, "Huihui" included not only the "Uighurs" and "Uighurs" of the Tang Dynasty, but also some ethnic groups west of Congling, which were all different from the "Huihui ethnic groups" today.

In the early 13th century, during the Mongolian army's Western Expedition, a group of Central Asian people of various ethnic groups who believed in Islam, as well as Persians and Arabs, were continuously issued or voluntarily migrated to our country. They are mainly stationed as troops and herders, and they are scattered throughout our country in different capacities such as craftsmen, businessmen, scholars, officials, and church leaders. They were called "Hui Hui people" and they were the main part of the "Semu people" at that time. Later they also called themselves "Hui Hui people".
