Historical evolution

Preliminary preparation

There were four mosques in Heping District of Tianjin, including Chahar road mosque, Changchun Road puaili mosque, Yingkou Road mosque and Xining road dunrenli mosque. The predecessor of Xining road mosque is dunrenli mosque in Xining road. Among the four mosques, three are for residential renovation and one is for factory renovation. During the cultural revolution, mosques in Heping District were basically closed. In 1976, after the Tangshan earthquake, Yingkoudao mosque was demolished. In 1986, the central religious work conference approved the restoration of ten mosques in Tianjin, including the reconstruction of one in Heping District, namely dunrenli mosque in Xining road. On September 12, 1988, the 18th meeting of the seventh Standing Committee of the Political Consultative Conference of Heping District was held. The meeting made a proposal on the restoration of mosques in Heping District, which suggested that "the district government should actively implement the plan for the restoration of mosques and restore mosques in our district as soon as possible". In 1989, the ethnic and religious branch of the office of Heping District People's Government of Tianjin made a survey of the new mosque and decided to set the new site in dunrenli, Xining road. In 1991, the Tianjin Heping District Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Tianjin Heping District People's government allocated 4.4 million yuan for the construction of the Xining road mosque, and a foundation laying ceremony was held on May 1 of that year. At the end of 1991, most of the main works of the mosque were basically completed. Since then, Muslims in Tianjin have raised 200000 yuan for the interior decoration of Xining road mosque.

Completion ceremony

The opening ceremony of Xining road mosque is simple and warm. Among the Muslims who come to the temple, there are not only those from this district and the neighboring urban areas, but also those from afar. In their minds, the peace zone has a place for Muslim religious activities, which is not only a great joy for the Muslim people in the peace zone, but also a great joy for the Muslim people in the whole city. Wang Yufen, a well-known Hui announcer of Tianjin TV station, came here specially even though there was something at home that day. The old announcer, who often meets the audience on the screen, said: "I'm very excited today because I'm speaking in front of a brief speech. The Heping District government appropriates special funds to support the construction of the mosque, which reflects the concern of the party and the government for us...". Mu Xiangxiong (HUI), the famous head coach of the national swimming team, just finished the first day of the National Swimming division standard competition in Tianjin. He should have returned to Beijing, but he also specially asked for a day off and congratulated his sisters in Tianjin and a family of seven.

On March 2, 1992, the Xining road mosque was built and put into use. The first day of Ramadan is the opening day of the mosque. Famous Muslims such as Ma Sanli, mu Xiangxiong and Wang Yufen also came to the mosque for worship and visit. In 1998 and 1999, the people's Government of Heping District of Tianjin allocated 70000 yuan and 200000 yuan respectively to repair the roof of the main hall of the mosque and build the 23 meter high bunker building.
