Nanjing Hui Nationality and Jingjue Temple Mosque

There have been many large-scale Hui settlements in the old city of Nanjing. The Song Dynasty's "Records of Du Yun Bridge Road in Jinling" records: "The bridge (Caoqiao) is a nail lane in the east and a temple lane in the north, which is also served by the Hui people; From Caoqiao to Qijiawan, it is a Hui community. It can be seen that at least in the Song Dynasty, the Hui people had formed a dense settlement in Nanjing, but with the relocation of the capital after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, many Hui people also moved to the north. The earliest mosque in Nanjing is not recorded in historical documents. The folklore is Dafeng Fuxiang Temple, which was built in the Song Dynasty but has been destroyed. According to documents, there were 1 1 temples in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, 24 in the Qing Dynasty, 13 in the Republic of China, 5 for girls, 2 for volunteers and 1 in palindromes. 1949, there are 2/kloc-0 mosques, girls' schools and voluntary schools in 32 suburban counties. Now only Jingjue Temple, Xiaowangfu Lane Mosque, Liuhe Mosque, Ganyu Lane Mosque, Jizhaoying Mosque, Huapailou Mosque and Caoqiao Mosque are left.
