Distributed all over the country, from generation to generation Chinese Muslims have developed their unique tradition of Islamic art, which, characterized by distinctive national features and local flavor, is an inseparable part of Chinese culture and art as a whole. This book gives an all-round account of the history and development of Chinese Islamic art from various aspects, such as mosque construction and decoration, the architectural complex of khanqahs, qubbahs, mazars and mausoleums, calligraphy art as seen in building decoration and scriptures, the craft of porcelain making, and religious ritual.
