Mosques in Huangyuan County

The mosque in Huangyuan County, also known as the Dongguan mosque in Huangyuan County, has no historical record of its exact founding date. It is said that it was built during the period from Yongzheng to Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty. According to the records of tangar hall annals, due to the instigation and destruction of the Qing rulers, the mosque originally built in Cangyuan lane of Tongzhi county was burned in 1865.

Historical evolution

Later, influenced by the "Yiwei rebellion" in 1895 and the "Huangyuan Massacre" in 1929, the mosque was demolished and relocated several times.

After the religious reform in 1958, the mosque was closed, the imam, manlah and miscellaneous personnel were demobilized, and the temple was occupied by the commune. In 1983, with the approval of the people's Government of Huangyuan County, the religious activities resumed.

At present, there are 2 imams, 9 Manla and 5 Xuedong in the temple. There are nearly 600 religious people, 2500 people, belonging to the Hui and Salar ethnic groups. There are Wu Mailu Ma Qing, Ma youbu, Ma Shenggui, Tan Fushou, Zhao Fuxiang, Ma Wenlin, zenaibai, sailimai, Ma Yaoqing, Zai Naibai and Haidi Che in the Haji area.

Scale system

In the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932), it was moved to the existing site, covering an area of 3.6 mu. A 280 square meter worship hall imitating the Jinluan Hall of the Ming Dynasty was built. It was full of brilliance and the cornice was tilted. The form of the hall was "Phoenix spreading its wings alone". A 30 meter high five storey wooden tower was built, which was demolished in the cultural revolution.

In 1982, a three story 18 meter high circular vault with Arabic architectural style and reinforced concrete building was built on the original site. The ancient main hall and the Islamic style dome building complement each other, giving people a sense of elegance and purity. The courtyard paved with cement brick is flat and clean, the flowers and trees in the flower beds are sparse, and the fragrance is floating.
