Chapter 01: The Beginning of the Century The nineteenth century began belatedly. This group of believers, which has a rare image in the ancient Chinese civilization and the sea of ​​Confucius and Mencius, also belatedly began its second era.The loop runs again, without prompting or warning at the beginning.One of the deepest lurking essences is silent: the poor and violent followers of Zhaherenye do not know that they are being brought into a great era. The nineteenth century was a great era both in the world and in China.Primitive, fundamental questions confront some people with a mission once in a century.I don't want to list in this book the more volatile nineteenth-century world history and Chinese history; because as far as the vast majority of Jekhinya are concerned, they are not aware of the environment and conditions.The preconfirmation is an invincible theory and belief-Jakharinya can only go with the flow, and use Shukhaidism when necessary, like breaking into thorns with a sharp axe.

Lord Guan Li (also known as Second Lord Fuqiang), the only great writer I admire, Abdul Gadir, is still alive at this time.The strange thing is that his famous book "Reshhar" has no mention of his age.This is intriguing.In other words, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, Guan Liye was a historical writer who was unwilling to describe the contemporary era.I was a little shocked in the Yin flavor: I felt a kind of ecstasy, and I am also a writer who is unwilling to describe the contemporary era. History does not exist.And memories—even deep-rooted memories—can be forgotten.The blood was a yellowish brown after fading.The so-called "knowledge"—that is, the point of view that truly represents the times can't escape the fate of the pioneer: when it was born alone and explored alone, it not only threw high and low jade into the mud, but also gave up the opportunity to promote the popular.And when it is confirmed by the ending, there is a vulgar babble, shouting about its knowledge of yesterday.It was silent again—a conversion of learning and art to religion.This view can explain many phenomena in the world.

I—I believe that God has inspired my methodology—the correct method of research exists in the form of the researched: first be a Dosdani warrior, loyal to the hearts of the people, and then use faith to make yourself This heart is just. The new century revives as it begins to rise.The development of a group of believers called the Jehrenya is a testament to tolerance in the nineteenth century.Social and political change is like spring among the seasons; to this day, the Chinese lose the memory of winter once they get spring.The hearts of the people, including intellectuals, are mostly rough and practical, first of all, to survive anyway, and then to make a living for the family.The environment that Zheherenye encountered in its early era (the eighteenth century when the first three generations of Muleshid were martyred in various forms) and could not survive peacefully has changed. The world's profound worldview—subtle changes have appeared.

The Jehrenya Muslims who survived could hardly believe what they saw: In the mosque, after the morning prayer, Tiqle prayer (afternoon) and night prayer, the chants that belonged exclusively to Jehrenya could not only be used And the Lingzhou tune has been used. The sound of clappers calling for adhan is no longer an illegal signal, but a custom of Jehrenya.The mosques were restored one by one, and the Muslims converted to the Zheherenye religion one by one.Old men with clean-shaven beards and a white beard on their chins proudly and stubbornly walk to and from the bazaar—how merciful is Allah!It revives everything!

In addition, a truth that only Zhaherenye can reveal in the whole of China has been increasingly ignored in the tolerance at the beginning of this century.So it begins to sow, preparing for distant punishment. This truth is—although the Chinese civilization represented by the way of Confucius and Mencius (including Buddhism and Taoism, which are of the same nature as the way of Confucius and Mencius) is the most brilliant and great civilization in the world, but for all people who pursue spiritual enrichment, absolute justice and spiritual freedom, for all Religion and ideals are the most powerful enemies to all purity; the core of Chinese civilization, the way of Confucius and Mencius.

Any heresy, any idealism, any beauty, any fresh hope, if it wants to survive, must avoid the way of Confucius and Mencius in its Chinese culture.Even including China itself, there is only one way out of rebirth and escape from doom, and that is the way to defeat Confucius and Mencius. For Islam—a religion with strong emotions; for Zheherenya—an Islamic heretical faction that has pushed its emotions to the desire for martyrdom, the Taoism, secularization, and Sinicization of Confucius and Mencius are more dangerous than the "public" butcher knife opponent. Zhehe Renye is a group of poor people.Zhehe Renye is mainly a group of poor peasants.Though I firmly believe that there were characters and an anxious premonition in its ranks, Jahrenya, in his revival in the early nineteenth century, did not recognize this invisible enemy, this alien homeland. , did not know peace, did not know the truth that was revealed precisely by the bloody sacrifices of the three generations before him.

Can't be harsh on my ancestors. Such a group of helpless people struggling with famine and oppression cannot be expected.The grandfather of Pingliang was tortured until his testicles swelled like two jars; the grandfather of the shipyard was tortured to death halfway during the exile.It is a kind of luck that later generations of literati, writers like me, can encounter such a huge proposition—but the ancestors who inspired me encountered too many such propositions.The important thing is not to answer the questions of the times, but to survive. In any case, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Zhaherenya sect survived and quietly developed.

During the spring and summer of the 22nd year of Jiaqing, Gutubu Alan Maedian passed on the position of Muleshid, the fourth generation of Zhehe Renye, to his eldest son Muhammad Sophie Maeden while in prison.His Taoist name is Hagegen Liang, and he was honored as "Eighth Lord of April" by the church because he died on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month.This lifetime lasted a total of thirty-two years, and it was the first period of great development in the history of Zhehe Renye. It is commonly called "the first revival of the sect" in the sect. The location of the teaching is in the prison or on the way to exile (one is said to be "on the road from Lanzhou to Wating", and the other is said to be "in the prison of Gaolan").This at least shows the urgency and horror of the situation at that time.Ma Yide (please allow me to call his name directly for the convenience of writing) If it is not a parent-child relationship, there is no way to get close to the imprisoned Muleshid.Although Niu Erye and other twelve households intend to follow their mentor into exile in the Northeast, they are apparently accomplices. Niu Erye himself may even be the main culprit in that exile.

In distress and persecution, the voice is passed. The most detailed memory of this incident is the work of Master Zhan: the Imam Niu (may Allah have mercy on him) in Latahe took the blame for the mullah.The officials in the yamen tried him and punished him cruelly.They lit incense to burn his patient back, and tied his hard knees with red-hot iron chains.Then he dripped boiling oil into his ear, which is not afraid of pain. The torture made the Imam Niu faint several times.Even so, he did not confess a single word of the mullah, he took all the truth and falsehood on his shoulders.One day, this noble imam was imprisoned unjustly and sent to Heilongjiang.

Fortunately, Niu Erye, the top case, can be tested today.This is a well-known Muslim family in Wuzhong Lingwu area.In China, where "sin" and "prison" hang over the heads of Muslim Islam like a permanent guillotine, the fate of Niu Erye's family is to take the blame from generation to generation.After Niu Erye, during the reign of Xuantong, Zhehe Renye Muslims injured people because someone acted to slander the leader of the uprising, Ma Hualong. Niu Jinquan, the third generation of the Niu family, appeared in court to plead guilty.Later changed his surname to Ma.Decades later, Ma Jisi, the fifth generation of the family, was arrested and imprisoned twice for the Jeherenye religion.Ma Jisi is one of the leaders who led me to go deep into Zheherenye, and is the Hui elder I respect most.Such a clue, like a pulse, connected to the end of my pen, let me know the weight of the things written.

It all started at the beginning of this century. Chapter 02 After I have exposed Zheherenye's heart to all kinds of eyes in the dirty world, I want to say: Religion does not immediately lose its sanctity because it is stained with Chinese feudal culture.Not only that, once the emotions of the Muslims are aroused, they are always as persistent and enthusiastic as moths to a flame.In the first half of the nineteenth century, Allah’s call was actually just one sentence: I will give you everything, as long as you revive Islam! Hagegenla Mahid was this man. He began tenacious activity.Like the founding predecessors, he started running from village to village.Carefully cross the county boundaries, first slowly gather the lost believers, restore the faith numb under the massacre and strict investigation, and revive Zhehe Renye in Guanchuan, Pingliang and other old places.Then try to enter a new county and make your own stronghold appear in a foreign land.The government's persecution was decisively used by him: Xinjiang, Northeast China, and Yunnan, where Zheherenye was exiled, all solidly developed Zheherenye's religious organizations, and the feelings of suffering made the rebuilt organizations stronger. Bloodlines—this singular thing has a complex nature.After the great persecution by the government of the Qing Dynasty, every family in Zheherenye had a blood feud with the government.Lineage is often the basis of belief; this is especially true for the Hui. There is an example in "Managebu": It is said that Uncle Niu Mumu lived at home.One day, people from Ratah Lake came to ask the mullah to dry Ermai. The mullah said, "Go and invite Mr. Niu Mumu to dry this Ermai for you. Then you invite him to stay at your house. At night Talk to him about the sect." He obeyed.He hired Mr. Niu Mumu, and he made Ermai for himself.In the evening, they talked about the secrets and miracles of the sect... Readers should not forget the imam nicknamed Niu Mumu who was "broke his feet, dragged him to Pingliang to parade in the streets, and then beheaded for public display" by the public.Readers should not forget Zhehe Renye's second-generation mentor who watched him go to death and could only "knock the ground heavily with a crutch"! In the past five years, I wandered like a wanderer in the loess desert from Gansu to Ningxia. During the five years, I was used to the peasants nostalgicly giving certain honorific titles to some anonymous people."Uncle Niu Mumu" is the eldest son of Imam Niu Mumu who was martyred in the martyrdom. I hope my readers will not despise these vulgar language, sympathize with them, and get used to me using the same language. In short, all the kinship of the persecuted Zheherenye Muslims, as long as they are called by faith, is a blood feud organization that will never make peace with the persecuting country. Hagegenla Maed is the summoner. First of all, what the mentor wants to rebuild is the mentor himself.After the bloodbath, authority and its influence on the people have also weakened. This person who stands up must convince the people again that he is a generation of Muleshid.In Daxibei's words, he wants to prove that he is "real" and that he really has "the voice of the Lord" on him.A "History of Orthodoxy" can be seen everywhere in Hagegen and his cautious practice: during the day, the grandfather of Lingzhou often tortured himself with hunger and thirst, saved up food, and bought "Muhammas".He works hard at night; these virtues of his old man are deeply respected by the teacher. ... He often kneels to comprehend enlightenment.When he talked with his disciples, he only talked about religion...never said a word of gossip.He has no Naves.He smiled a lot, but never laughed out loud.He never wears fine cloth; in the hot summer, he also wears a coarse cloth gown.In winter he is just a sheepskin cloak without a lining.He worshiped with the crowd.Every time he eats, he stands up with his right foot and flattens his left foot to kneel down (to show his gratitude to the Lord).He never crossed his feet, never crossed his legs.He eats very little diet... Another place records the situation of the disaster year: the mullah went on a diet every day and distributed the food to the teachers to eat.Whenever the famine was hard to bear, he would go outside the house to pick some green apricots and eat them. Old Sophie's persistent self-cultivation reappeared in his behavior.This is a more important lesson than strictness and poverty; Zhaherenye pays attention to the use of a wooden branch when practicing alone, and this cultural relic is also restored by him: there is a pious religious wife who is a woman who obeys.She respectfully sewed a pair of pillows and asked the doctor to give them to the respected mullah.When it was sent, the Mullah asked, "Do you think I can sleep?" Indeed, they did not know about the Mullah's night.He is praying and praising the Lord.When he was overtired, he just rested his head on a small wooden branch and took a little nap.Because of this work, Mullah's knees always hurt in old age, and he tied leather straps to his knees to relieve the pain. From these stories, we gradually read a familiar image.Zheherenye's previous three generations of mentors all had similar images.A writer who compiles an image—is a creation; generations who silently refine an image—is also a creation. The poor peasants in China (Zhehe Renye is only a part of them) do not read books, and the only image that can infect them is the latter.This image of Zheherenye, which already has a literary taste, does exist, and I cannot but be secretly shocked.This is an image that readers will feel forever with their hearts and will never be discarded. This is an eternal creation that makes readers believers. Beauty without being outstanding is the best choice. I feel that I can already guess the painstaking efforts of the old man Hajigenla Mayide.Life, or death, the great question of history has been staring at him alone.Must survive, then must change.He was changed by this powerful call, and he no longer repeated the form of Muleshid, the first three generations of Zheherenye - he was the first mentor of Zheherenye who lived and died well, so he did not have the first three The beautiful and melting eyes of the martyrs of the first generation. In Lingzhou, an ancient irrigation area, he told people the irrigation story of Yemen: When irrigating crops, Yemenis used to insert a wooden board to calculate the amount of water.He stipulated that foot towels and hand towels should be washed once every three days. It seems that Zhehe Renye's unique emphasis on feet and towels originated from this time.He strengthened many religious details of Zheherenye, such as the use of Muleshid's seal (probably the origin of the seal on "Nisbaiti (Tao Pu)" in the future), the strict slaughter of animals (Zheheren The chickens, sheep and livestock slaughtered in Ermai must be tied and fed before slaughter to ensure cleanliness and solemnity) and so on.He slowly resumed teaching activities village by village, not only miraculously restored the possibility of Zhahe Renye's belief, but also established a complete Muleshid (mentor), Reys (regional teacher, quite Cardinals in Catholicism), imams (imams established in villages who believe in Zheherenye Islam), and Dosdani (congregation) systems. According to the records of "Manageb", during this religious revival movement in various provinces of China, the following places and villages restored or converted to Jeherenya: Luguzha, Tuochangbao, Xuzhou (possibly referring to Huaiyin), Qinzhou . Xijiaping, Suojiacha, Hezhou, Xining, Gongchang, Bancheng, Latahu, Guyuan, Sanying, Yunnan Talang, Majiawan, Chengdu, Shipyard, Jinan, Liugouzhai, Shanshan (Pi Zhan Lake), Shenjia Lake. Some of these place names are clear at a glance, and some cannot be examined carefully.Some are so big that they contain half a province, while others are so small that they are just a barren village. This is a fresh geography, a geographical viewpoint and description that can only be accommodated in literature and feeling.A village can be famous but a big province can be unknown.An old woman who has never been out of the house can talk about Manas thousands of miles away and pronounce "Shanshan" in Turkic.No one knows Shanghai, but everyone knows "Nanjing" because of one person. ②Some place names are complete phonetic errors, while others are astonishingly accurate—this is actually a very vivid geography of the Chinese people at the bottom.The characteristics of Zheherenye reflected in this geography are: it is still a religious group with a very low level of education; it is also a peasant group that is rare in China and has a broad vision.This sharply pointed out a proposition - in China, only those who are desperate in this world, only those who are suffering from hunger and cold, can pursue and believe. Hagegenla Maed was already a rare old man.He led such a group of people, and he shouldered such a task. There is a description of the threshing field in "The History of Taoism", which seems to be a portrait of him and his Dosdani: on the threshing field, they lined up in two lines and threshed face to face.A group of people neatly hit the flail on the ground, and at the same time they recited "Liang Yi Liang Han" ③ loudly.The feet also move with it.Another group of people beat it neatly and said "Indian Lahu" at the same time.Move your feet again.It's like beating Illi.The mullah was also in the circle with them. When the old man hit the flail, he raised his left foot and said "two" and stepped on his right foot to say "yin". At the same time, he shook his shoulders and shook his head.He pointed out six directions with Ji Qing's hand, making Kerr Quanmei.That is, Kerr's voice rose, and the confidential lantern was lifted into the air.The scorching sun is covered, and the hard work is easy. Those who have read the first three chapters of this book may be moved by this picture, and may be puzzled by this description.Like when I finished every work before, I can't speculate and dare not force my readers.It is impossible for art to judge even a bosom friend.But this time is different - I believe that hundreds of thousands of Zheherenya scattered all over China are proud of me.After all, the nineteenth century was a new century. After such harsh persecution, Islam and its pioneer, Jahrenya, were able to enjoy such freedom.It's really incredible.God, it does exist.Faith can be lived on.Among the illiterate peasants suffering from hunger and cold, Zhang Chengzhi would appear to write books for them.Compensation is possible for human feelings.Silence can become a cry, and the inside can become the surface—because even Zhe Heren can turn over in this world! They and I don't know each other, but we both believed it.We are convinced that Zhaherenye is indeed the one chosen by the Almighty Creator.In order to prove a truth, God chose Zhehe Renye to bear the sins of China.Just as God chose the Jews to bear the sins of Europe.All this can only be felt by those who are in the scene.I know they agree with me.It is they who are expressing this feeling with my pen.It is a blessing to have such a mission (Sebabu) to suffer, they are thinking.It is a blessing to have such a mission (Sebaibu) to write, and I am also thinking about it. On the eighth day of April in the twenty-ninth year of Daoguang, Hajigenliang Ma Yide, the fourth-generation mentor of Zheherenye, died in the Lingzhou area and was buried in Lingzhou Seventh, a disciple of Guanchuan, his grandfather, later known as Grandpa Baba. Baba - next to Gongbei.Since then, this Gongbei has become more famous, and later became a missionary center - Daotang, which was named Hongyuefu.He was the first Muleshid to die a good life at the age of seventy-four, and was later honored as the eighth grandfather of April. He did not receive the name and glory of a martyr, while Jehrenya received a full revival. There should be some calculations.Numbers can sometimes indicate regularity, and in the words of the teaching Nedosdani, they indicate secrets.Counting from the 49th year of Qianlong, the time is 65 years in total.Counting from the death of the shipyard grandfather during his execution, the time is thirty-two years—not too long.It seems cruel to say this, but in the history of the Ganges, this time cannot be said to be too long. Is it dark? Is it painful? Are you alone? Is it unbearable? This dark world is boundless and infinite This world is like an eternity of night You say - you've lost your last hope You say - your mind is alone and your cleanliness is ignored You're suppressing suicide Maybe you can believe this data, maybe you can estimate the limit of persecution and darkness——Your heart is moved. In the wilderness, there is a big green poplar tree with branches and leaves dancing, standing tall and silent. Use the last drop of your heart to glue the broken string. Can you still hope and persist in those things? People - when they cut down the big green poplar they said: We're gone where people love people Wait until the wheels turn back and night turns to day Don't be surprised Don't cry out so much when so many people come rushing When people are crowded, you will hide the rules and secrets you have calculated and go to the wilderness to plant an ordinary green poplar tree alone ①Navs: self, temper. ② There are records of "Nanjing Master" and "Xuzhou Zhangsan Imam", which may refer to a Zheherenye that has survived in Huaiyin to this day. ③Liangyilianghan: Everything is not the master.Indicates negation, the first sentence of "Shahadah". ④ Indian Rahu: Only Allah.Affirmative, "Shahadah" sub-sentence.
