Hui nationality is the abbreviation of Hui nationality. Hui nationality is a member of 56 ethnic families in China, mainly living in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, with the characteristics of "large dispersion and small settlement" in the whole country.

Because Islam is still white, Hui people regard white as the cleanest and most joyful color, and white, green and black are the main colors in clothes and crowns. Hui women generally wear white round caps and hijab (also called hijab), girls wear green, married women wear black and elderly women wear white.

Hui men wear small white hats without eaves, also known as? "Return hat" or "worship hat". Imams, Manla and religious Hui elders in mosques like to wear head wraps.

The Hui people celebrate three major festivals every year, namely Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha and Holy Day. Every year, September is Ramadan in the Islamic calendar. Every day, people eat before the East turns pale and then fast. After sunset, they fast, and they don't drink or eat during the day. Eid al-Fitr is the end of fasting. Get up at dawn, wash, bathe and clean yourself, put on new clothes and go to the mosque to pay homage. "Eid al-Adha" is usually held 7 days after Eid al-Fitr.
