Interdisciplinary Research Project for Religious and Commercial network and Islamic Resurgence among Chinese Muslims

这项研究项目有三个主要目的。我们正是基于这三个目的进行了研究，并取得了以下成果。首先，我们的项目旨在调查中国穆斯林跨境移民的状况。中国穆斯林不仅在国内流动，而且因为压迫而移民到国外，定居在东南亚、中亚或中东国家，寻求知识，劳动力移民或去麦加朝圣。我们可以从中获得移民如何影响移民中国穆斯林与接受国或地区之间关系的基本信息，以及移民如何改变中国穆斯林文化的基本信息。其次，我们打算探索伊斯兰知识是如何流动的，或者跨国界(无论是国内运动还是国际移民)的商业网络是如何随着中国穆斯林的移民而构建的。第三，我们的项目旨在探索他们在普通宗教习俗层面上的文化变化，这些变化受到他们在伊斯兰复兴方面的伊斯兰知识的迁移或传播的影响。我们可以理解，宗教习俗已经向伊斯兰复兴和地方宗教习俗兴起的方向转变。

This research project had three main purposes. We made our research according to those three purposes and gained achievements below. At first, our project aimed at investigating the condition of the cross-bordering migration of Chinese Muslims. Chinese Muslims move not only inside domestic terrain but immigrated abroad and settled in Southeast Asia, Central Asian, or Middle Eastern countries because of the oppression, seek for knowledge, labor migration or pilgrimage to Mecca. We could get the basic information on how the migration had influenced the relationships between migrated Chinese Muslims and receiving countries or regions, and at the same time how it changed the cultures of Chinese Muslims. Second, we intended to seek for how the Islamic knowledge had been moving or how the trans-bordering (either domestic movement or international migration) commercial network had been constructed along with the migration Chinese Muslims. Thirdly, our project designed to explore their cultural change on the level of ordinary religious practices influenced by their migration or circulation of Islamic knowledge in terms of Islamic resurgence. We could understand religious practices had been transformed both to the direction of Islamic resurgence and to that of the rise of local religious practices.
