The earliest mosques have a history of more than 700 years.

Architectural Style

The mosque is a symbol of the Hui village. It is a holy place where the Muslims do worshiping, chanting and other religious activities. It is also called the Temple of Prayer. The Arabic language is “Masjid” meaning “a place of worshiping Allah”.

The minaret is mostly pavilion-style attic made up of several floors. However , the modern mosques are mostly a combination of Chinese and Western style of architecture with Arabic characteristics, such as green domes, spire topped with the crescent moon and star. The doors and windows of many ancient mosques still have beautiful carvings on the pavilions. Most of them are vivid landscape paintings of the kingdom of birds, reflecting the integration of the cultures of Han and Hui people.

Components of Mosque Complexes

1. Main Prayer Hall (朝真殿):
   • This hall is reserved for worship and religious activities, and secular discussions are not allowed.

The hall typically faces west to east, with a recessed wall in the center featuring wooden carvings of Quranic verses in Arabic.
2. Living Quarters:
   • These include the Imam’s residence, kitchen, washroom, and bathing area, usually located on the side or in the gaps between the main hall and wing rooms.
3. Educational Area:

Development History

Flourishing and Challenges

The construction of mosques in Xundian has seen both flourishing periods and significant challenges over its 700-year history. During the Yuan and Ming dynasties, mosque construction reached its peak, with 48 mosques recorded by the end of the Ming dynasty. The early Qing period saw further development, but the late Qing period brought destruction due to the “Xiantong Rebellion,” which nearly wiped out the Hui population and destroyed all mosques. Reconstruction began gradually in the late Qing and early Republic of China periods.

Post-1958 Period

Following the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, the government’s policies of equality and mutual assistance allowed for the restoration of 63 mosques (including those transferred to other counties). Unfortunately, during the Anti-Rightist Movement in 1958 and the Cultural Revolution, many mosques were closed, repurposed, or demolished, and religious activities went underground.

Modern Era

Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, the government’s policies have protected and respected religious beliefs, leading to the reopening and reconstruction of mosques. More than 20 new mosques have been built to meet the growing needs of the Muslim community.

Muslim Travel Tips

• Visiting Mosques: When visiting mosques, dress modestly and respectfully. Remove shoes before entering prayer halls and follow local customs.
• Respect Religious Practices: Avoid engaging in secular discussions inside the mosque and participate quietly if observing prayers or religious activities.
• Explore Local Culture: Take time to explore the surrounding Hui villages and learn about the rich cultural integration of the Han and Hui people.

三、List of Mosques in Xundian County

Name:Yuping Mosque (玉屏清真寺)

Location: Yuping Mosque is situated on Yuping Street in Rende Town, Xundian County, Kunming City, Yunnan Province.

History and Architecture

Yuping Mosque dates back to the early Ming Dynasty, initially constructed to serve the local Muslim community. Over time, the mosque faced challenges due to its low-lying location and aging structures, which eventually became inadequate for religious activities. In 1934, local dignitaries, led by Bao Ruqi, initiated efforts to rebuild the mosque. Through fundraising initiatives, the old mosque was demolished, and reconstruction efforts were completed in 1937.

The mosque features:

• A main prayer hall with three chambers.
• North and south wing rooms, each comprising three chambers.
• A notable three-story minaret.
• Inside, visitors can find two inscribed steles: one commemorating donors and another detailing the mosque’s properties, including fields, mountains, and annual rental income.

Post-1958 Developments

After 1958, the main hall of Yuping Mosque was repurposed for use by production teams, reflecting the changes during that period. However, in 1987, significant funding from the county government facilitated a major restoration project. This restoration involved demolishing the original wooden minaret and constructing a new 13-room Arabic-style prayer hall, characterized by a distinctive crescent and star roof design. Despite these renovations, efforts were made to maintain the mosque’s original architectural appearance.

The County Islamic Association is currently housed within Yuping Mosque, continuing to play a vital role in serving the spiritual and community needs of the local Muslim population in Xundian County.
