Hui nationality is the most widely distributed minority in China, and there are mosques in places where people live in concentration, also known as worship temples. In the middle of the 7th century, a large number of Persian and Arab businessmen came to China coastal cities such as Guangzhou and Quanzhou by sea and land, and settled in Chang 'an and Kaifeng in the mainland.
Hui people cannot eat donkey meat. According to the regulations of Islam, Hui people fast pigs, horses, donkeys, mules, dogs and all animals that have died by themselves, and all birds and animals with ugly images. Cattle, sheep, camels and chickens must be recited by imams or worshippers, and then slaughtered, otherwise they cannot be eaten.
Hui people should put an end to filth, filth, greed, laziness and stupidity. These habits can be fully reflected in pigs, and not eating is to stay away from their bad habits. Cattle and sheep eat clean water and grass, and pigs eat anything filthy, which is ugly and disgusting. Fasting pork is not only a patent of Islam, for example, Judaism and Christianity also have the precepts of fasting dead animals and pork.
Taboo words in hui wedding
The wedding ceremony of Hui nationality is generally divided into two steps. First of all, the imam invited by the host family called the bride and groom and their elders together to hold a small ceremony with Hui customs. The ceremony was mainly presided over by the imam, who asked the bride and groom questions in the way of echo, so that the bride and groom could answer them sincerely. I think it's a bit like a Christian church wedding. The formal wedding ceremony can only begin after this ceremony is completed.
In terms of wedding words, the master of ceremonies cannot have the homonym of "wine" and "wine" in the ceremony. Because Muslims generally don't put wine at wedding banquets, only various drinks, melon seeds and candy bars appear at the banquet. A toast at the wedding of the Han nationality is not used in hui wedding. If the MC presiding over the wedding doesn't understand this taboo, it is disrespectful to the Hui people to have the word wine and homophonic wine in the ceremony. For example, the word "forever" that we often use should be avoided or replaced with other words. There is also the word "worship" for worshipping heaven and earth. Hui people believe in God. According to them, we don't worship heaven, earth, people, but God. This word of worship can only be used when worshipping God. For this reason, the most commonly used word "worship" in Han weddings cannot appear in Hui ceremony venues.
Besides, Muslims don't shoot when they get married. As we often say, don't blurt out when you are shooting and playing music. At the same time, in hui wedding's agenda, some areas have added a chef Xie, which is completely different from the wedding agenda of the Han nationality. Chef Xie is a ceremony after toasting at the wedding of Han people. The bride and groom raise their glasses to thank the chef, and the Muslims must solemnly salute the chef on the ceremony platform as one of the ceremonies. Therefore, the master of ceremonies should also make appropriate adjustments according to the specific situation, so that the whole ceremony can be done according to the requirements of the host family, and the above taboo words should not appear as much as possible to satisfy the host family.
