into Guangxi,built temples and communities one after another,formed the pattern of "nine temples and seven communities" up to the Republic of China.However,in the dramatic social changes,the changes of the constituent elements of Hui,"temple,community,market,culture" eventually led to the changes of guilin Hui community.The construction of the mosque was an important symbol of the forming of Hui community,and was more important basis to maintain cohesion.In the situation of the Hui peoples dispersing,market slumping,cultural declining,the geographic boundaries of Hui community increasingly blurred,the mosques became the only mark of the former Guilin Hui community and its function was undergoing profound change.As immigrants Guilin Hui not only relied on common religious beliefs,forming

GuilinHui community,indicate that part of enlightened and well-heeled Hui families attached importance to the study of Han culture in Qing Dynasty.In Daoguang period in Qing Dynasty,some Hui peoples opened a private school in the Hui community and teached Hui children to learn Han culture.Since the Republic of China,with the rise of the New Culture Movement and Chengda normal school moved to Guilin,new Hui nationality education,adult education,the education of women,and Muslim women school gradually developed in Guilin Hui community.Since the founding of the PRC,due to the exit of the religion course from the national education system,the reformation and the destruction of the "Cultural revolution"the religious education in Guilin Hui community gradually declined.At present,the
