Hui or Uygur?

Latest comment: 15 years ago4 comments4 people in discussion

When I read this book, several years ago, I was under the impression that the tribe was Uygur. Here it states Hui and, originally, a parenthetical (Uygur) but the Hui page states that Hui is specifically not Uygur. I changed it to Hui--just because that seemed to have been the consensus view, but I'm not sure if it's correct and I don't have a copy of the book in front of me to check.

In Qing Dynasty, Xinjing (Chinese Turkistan) was named as Hui Terrority (Muslim Terrority, 回疆) . 203.218.26.168 12:46, 26 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hui and Uyghur are definitely different. Both of them are moslem and member of 55 minority groups in China, but not from the same group. The Huis are actually the descendant of Han ethnicity who become moslem. In the other hand The Uyghurs have Turkic bloodline. Huo Qing Tung and Fragrant Princess in the Book and the Sword are Huis.

It's a problem with the English translation, which translates the tribe as Uygur. In the original Chinese version, they are definitely Huis (ie. genetically Han Chinese but Muslims). However, I'm not sure if Louis Cha meant them to be genetically Hans. He appears to paint a rather exotic portrait of their looks. 220.255.7.211 (talk) 14:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
