Historical evolution

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the Hui people in Xi'an area were influenced by the Wahhabi movement of Arab Islam, and the wave of reform rose. The collision between the new Wahhabi thought and the traditional thought once triggered the event of "disturbing religion". In this regard, a new branch of Islam appeared in Xi'an, "ihwani". In this sectarian struggle, some Muslims who originally belonged to the mosque of daxuexue Lane broke away from the original temple and bought houses to build the temple in the 11th year of the Republic of China. Although the mosque was built in the early Republic of China, it maintained the traditional Chinese architectural style. There are two old stone squats and old door frames in the door opening, with wooden screens instead of screen walls. From the outside, this is a closed courtyard. You can only see the architectural facilities in the temple by going around the wooden screen.

Although the planting of flowers and trees in the temple is not as good as other ancient temples in Xi'an, it is also elegant and elegant. It can be seen that efforts have been made to this.
