THE RESEARCH ON ISLAMIC GEOGRAPHY IN NINGXIAHUI AUTONOMOUS REGION

There is a gap in the study of Chinese Islamic Geography. This paper focuses on the regional characteristics of Islamic followers, the religious landscapes, community types and religious sects in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Furthermore, it studies the relationship between the Islamic ruling culture and development of regional society and economy. The study of Chinese Islamic geography also helps to work out the policy for the development of Ningxia District and to research on Ningxia Islamic geography that has been relatively a vacancy.Main content of the paper falls into five parts. First, the spatial distribution characteristics of Ningxia Mahomet an: (1) There are more Islamic followers in the south part of Ningxia, fewer in north of it; (2) they are highly concentrated in several counties. Second, the spatial distribution characteristics of religion landscapes: (1) The economic center dovetails the religion center; (2) The village is sporadic and the county is concentrated. Third, Moslem community can be divided into the city community, sub-city community and the remote countryside community. Fourth, the five Islamic sects also reflect the strong regional differences. Finally, many migrations of Ningxia Islamic followers help to realize the multiculture in the region. The number of the Islamic followers increases quickly, but the overall quality of them is low. The different characteristics of the district and the ruling culture of the Islam district have profound influence on the society and economy of this district. During the process of the western development, it's very important and urgent to research and analyze the relationship of the traditional commercial experience of the Islamic culture and the running of the socialism market economy.The studies of Ningxia Islamic geography will have active effect in the build-up of the regional development strategy and policy where Islamic culture takes a leading role. To cast a brick to attract jade, we hope the academic and social circles attach importance to the study of Islamic Geography.
