Why are Hui people widely distributed?
Hui nationality is a typical nomadic people in the history of China. The following is a reference to the history of Hui people: Historically, Hui people often traveled to and from various parts of China to do business and make a living, but such a large-scale migration as the Qing Dynasty was unprecedented. In the Qing Dynasty, the Hui people marched from coastal cities, southwest frontiers, Shaanxi and North China to the remote areas of Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Northeast China and Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai. During the Shunzhi period, due to the "enclosure" implemented by the Qing government, a large number of Hui farmers in North China lost their land and were forced to move to various parts of Northeast China. The uprising of the Hui people in the Qing Dynasty was similar to that of this dynasty, and the uprising was surging all over the country. These uprisings ended in failure, and as a result, many local Muslims lost their original places of residence. The Hui people in Yunnan migrated to the border between China and Myanmar, while the Hui people in Shaanxi, Gansu and Tibet mostly migrated to Xinjiang and the border between China and Russia. Shaanxi Hui people who had no time to escape and scattered in Gansu and Qinghai were arranged by the Qing government in a planned way to Dingxi, Yuzhong and Pingliang, which were "isolated and inaccessible" and "easy to control", as well as Jingyuan, Jinji, Lingwu, Tongxin and Xihaigu counties in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region today.
