Article Summary by: TsingHua     

Original Author: NorthWest Minorities Research
This abstract was translated from 民国时期广州穆斯林文人的忧患意识
The Muslim intellectuals in Guang Zhou City were anxious about the Muslims' issues in many fields with their acute observation
in the period of Republic of China. They paid attention to the shortage of religious knowledge and Chinese culture, the inherited institution of religious professionals and the change of conventions. They established schools, enhanced the propaganda, and responded to the insulting cases and the Christians ' misunderstanding of Islam. They intended to build up the Muslims' self-confidence by calling their awakening and renaissance Islamic culture. They made contributions to the continuation of Islamic culture in Guang Dong region and their works became the rare historical materials. This paper argues that the intellectuals are the intelligence resources of a ethnic group. They are the illuminative and firm power in preserving the culture and keeping the traditions. To know the intellectuals' ideology is ecclesial to prognosticate the developmental orientation of Muslims' civilian thoughts.
