What does "halal" mean in Yili?

The "Halal" label above means that the milk is a food produced by Islamic Muslims.

“Halal” is the popular name for Islam in China. The word "halal" means quiet and noble. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Islam did not have a fixed translation name in China. According to the characteristics of this religion, which advocates cleanliness and believes in the teachings of Allah, Muslim scholars often use words such as halal and pure to translate them into Islam or the mosques of this religion. Food prepared in accordance with the teachings of this religion is "halal food".

The "halal" in Yili refers to edible milk drinks that are in compliance with Islam. Halal food refers to the diet, non-staple food and food that are slaughtered, processed and produced in accordance with the eating habits of the Hui "Four Specialties" and other ethnic minorities that meet halal requirements. They are called halal food. Halal diet, halal non-staple food, and halal food are referred to as the "three halal foods".

This food custom originated from Islam, but with the development of the times, it has gradually become an integral part of the lifestyle and food habits of these ethnic minorities. Halal food specifically refers to food containing animal meat and its derivatives produced and operated according to the customs and habits of these ethnic minorities.

Extended information:

As an ancient Chinese word, the word "halal" was not directly related to Islam at first. As early as Liu Yiqing's "Shishuo Xinyu" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a statement that "the pure and the fasting of desires, all things cannot be moved", which means pure and simple, dustless and uncontaminated. Poets Li Bai and Meng Haoran of the Tang Dynasty, and poets Lu You and Xin Qiji of the Song Dynasty, used this word many times in their poems, generally referring to moral standards or nobility and elegance.

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, Chinese Islamic scholars used the term "quiet and untainted" to refer to Islam, and gradually used the word "halal" in the field of Chinese Islam. To this day, in addition to special words such as "Islam", "Mosque" and "Shadow".

In our country, the word "halal" used alone usually refers specifically to halal food that has been transformed into relevant national customs. It is generally not used as a qualifier, nor is it equivalent to the foreign Islamic "Halal" (that is, "in line with Sharia law”).
