Is Zhu Yuanzhang a Han nationality?

A large number of historical facts prove that Zhu Yuanzhang is not a Hui nationality, but a Han nationality. Hui people believe in Islam, but they don't believe in other religions except Islam. Some Hui family rules clearly stipulate that "Taoism and Buddhism are forbidden at home" (Jinjiang Guojiapu). However, Zhu Yuanzhang and his predecessors and descendants did not believe in Islam, but believed in Buddhism and Taoism. Zhu Yuanzhang's "Funeral parents were sick since childhood, so they rounded up the Imperial Palace" (Lang Ying: Seven Manuscripts, Volume Seven, Zhu Shide Monument) has since forged an indissoluble bond with Buddhism. After joining the Guo Zixing Rebel Army, he became a disciple of Bailian Sect, but he did not change his Buddhist belief and captured Yingtian and other places. He not only made friends with famous monks with high moral character, but also established close ties with many Taoist priests.

After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he strongly advocated respecting Zhu Chongru and established the dominant position of Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism. At the same time, he also tried to educate and foster Buddhism and Taoism with Shinto. He not only allocated huge sums of money to repair and rebuild a number of monasteries and temples, but also granted a large number of fields and reeds, exempting them from taxes, food and customs duties. He also called famous monks to hold dharma meetings many times, wearing a leather cloak and jade laurel around his waist, and personally led his ministers to worship; Or recruit Taoist priests, hold a rain-praying fast, and "sit in the dew, be exposed to Japan and China during the day, stay still for a moment, lie on the ground at night, and undress" (Volume 53 of A Record of Ming Taizu). At the request of Buddhism and Taoism, he also set up the Shanshi Academy and the Jiao Xuan Academy, which were later changed to the Buddhist and Taoist Records Department. The famous Buddhism and Taoism has been leading the Buddhist and Taoist affairs throughout the country. In order to expand the influence of Buddhism and Taoism, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered famous monks from all directions to proofread the Tripitaka, the vast southern Tibet, in order to get along with Ru? Monks reinterpreted the Prajna Heart Sutra, Diamond Sutra and Shurangama Sutra, and personally prefaced the Heart Sutra. He followed the example of the Tang and Song emperors, wrote a preface for the Tao Te Ching, wrote two volumes of the Tao Te Ching in Yu Zhu, and wrote the biography of Zhou Dian immortals, which was widely published. It is precisely because of Zhu Yuanzhang's vigorous advocacy that many of his descendants believe in Buddhism and Taoism, such as Ming Chengzu and Ming Xiaozong, Ming Wuzong and Ming Shizong. As a result, the Ming government also organized many times to publish and engrave the huge Buddhist and Taoist books.

Of course, while Zhu Yuanzhang vigorously supported Buddhism and Taoism, he also built some mosques in Nanjing, Xi 'an, Northwest China, Fujian, Guangdong and other places, and wrote a book Ode to the Hundred Words, praising Islam for its function of "assisting the destiny and protecting the people" (Volume 20 of Herry Liu: The Arabian Nights). This is not because Zhu Yuanzhang believes in Islam, but because of his national policy of "governing according to customs". At that time, there were not only Hui people living in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, but also many Hui soldiers in the Ming army, and many ethnic minorities who believed in Islam, including the northwest region where Hui people lived, all of which had yet to be unified. He implemented this policy of "ruling according to customs" in order to win the support of these Islamic minorities, promote the cause of national reunification and consolidate the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Because Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe in Islam, although Islam was protected and supported by the imperial court, its status could not be compared with Buddhism and Taoism. In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court never set up an institution or appointed an official position for it, nor did it compile, print or engrave any books on Islam.

Hui people not only believe in Islam, but also are influenced by Islamic beliefs and culture in their customs and habits. For example, in eating habits, it is forbidden to eat pork, and in funeral customs, it is advocated to bury quickly, and the time for mortuary should not exceed three days, and burial without coffins should be carried out. After washing, the body was wrapped in white cloth and the imam presided over the funeral. But neither Zhu Yuanzhang himself nor his predecessors and descendants have seen such customs and habits. In the Ming dynasty, there was a royal court meal, and pork was never supplied. Guanglu Temple, which is in charge of the royal diet, uses 30 100 animals every year, including 8900 pigs (Wanli Ming Hui Dian1kloc-0/6). For ancestor worship, pigs are also essential offerings. For example, in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, it was decided to take "Nineteen Tapirs" as offerings, and "Thirty-one Tapirs" and "Thirty-five Tapirs" as offerings in the early years of Wanli (same as above, volume 86). Funeral completely follows the customs of Han nationality rather than Hui nationality. For example, except for Zhu Yuanzhang's father and ancestors, Emperor Wen Jian, who didn't know what to do after the Jingnan War, and Emperor Jingtai, who was abandoned after the "doom change", the mortuary time after Ming Taizu's death far exceeded the three-day period.

After the death of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, the mortuary time was the shortest, but it also reached 7 days before and after. Ming Chengzu was the one who died the longest, lasting for five months. Another example is the way of burial. Although burial is carried out, there is no difference in national customs (both Han and Hui people carry out burial), but instead of wrapping themselves in white cloth, they wear crowns, robes and coffins. In the back hall of Dingling Underground Palace, there are three coffins of Ming Shenzong, Xiao Duan and Xiao Jing. There are the emperor's crown and robes in the coffin, as well as the queen's phoenix crown and robes, which are the best physical evidence. After Zhu Yuanzhang's parents died, "there was no coffin", not because of the custom of Uighur, but because the Zhujiajian family was too poor at that time to have a cemetery, let alone silver coins for coffins and clothes. Fortunately, neighbor Liu Jizu gave a cemetery, and Zhu Yuanzhang and his second brother and sister-in-law were able to put their parents in clean and shabby clothes and bury them hastily. In addition, the Ming Tombs, from the ancestral graves in Xuyi, Jiangsu Province, and the imperial tombs in Fengyang, Anhui Province, to the Xiaoling and Dongling Tombs in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, the Ming Tombs and Jingtai Tombs in Beijing, and the Xianling Mausoleum in Zhongxiang, Hubei Province, all have Chinese inscriptions, but there are no Arabic characters. The carvings are also traditional Chinese rather than Islamic. The mausoleum system was also developed on the basis of the tomb system in Tang and Song Dynasties, which is very different from the Muslim tombs.

Finally, it should be pointed out that it is also inappropriate for Mr. Zhou Lao to refer to the Hui people and the ethnic minorities who established the Liao, Jin, Yuan and Qing dynasties as foreigners when answering questions. China has been a multi-ethnic country since ancient times, and the Qin and Han Dynasties began to form a unified multi-ethnic country. The Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolia and Manchu who established Liao, Jin, Yuan and Qing dynasties not only lived in China since ancient times, but also belonged to the jurisdiction of the Central Plains dynasty before establishing their own political power. Although the Hui nationality contains a lot of foreign ancestry, they did not move into our country after forming a nation abroad, but were formed in our country after the marriage and integration of Persians, Arabs and some Uighurs, Mongolians and Han people who have taken root in our country since the Tang and Song Dynasties. Therefore, whether it is the Khitan, Nuzhen, Mongolian, Manchu or Hui, although they are regarded as foreigners like the Han nationality, they are all out-and-out China nationalities. The territory of China was jointly developed by the Han nationality and ethnic minorities, and the history of China was jointly created by the Han nationality and ethnic minorities. As a member of the Chinese nation, both the Han nationality and ethnic minorities enjoy the status and rights of the historical masters of China. Today, we are in the socialist era of realizing national equality. Obviously, we should not follow the old concept of "studying abroad in summer" and treat all ethnic minorities except Han nationality as foreigners.
