Extended data:

Hui nationality is the abbreviation of Hui nationality, and "Hui" was originally a title for him, and later it evolved into self-calling. The word "Uighur" first appeared in Shen Kuo's Meng Qian Bi Tan in the Northern Song Dynasty, which refers to the Uighur people in Anxi (now in southern Xinjiang and some areas west of Congling) since the Tang Dynasty.

"Hui Hui" may be the phonetic conversion or vulgar writing of "Uyghur" and "Uighur". The "Uighur" in the Southern Song Dynasty included not only the "Uighur" and "Uighur" in the Tang Dynasty, but also some ethnic groups west of Congling, which was different from the current "Uighur people".

/kloc-At the beginning of the 3rd century, when the Mongolian army went west, a number of Central Asian nationalities, Persians and Arabs who believed in Islam were sent out or automatically migrated to China. They mainly appeared in the form of garrisoning and grazing, and were scattered all over China as craftsmen, businessmen, scholars, officials and teachers. They were called "Hui people" and were the main part of Semu people at that time, and later called themselves "Hui people".
