Features: Our great motherland—China—is a unified multi-ethnic country. In this family of nations, people of all ethnic groups have stood shoulder to shoulder and, through long-term struggles against nature and society, have jointly developed the beautiful land and created a splendid history of 5,000 years. Each has made its own contributions to the formation, development, and prosperity of the unified nation-state. Education is an important social activity for cultivating people and a necessary means of transmitting production experience and social life experience. The evolution and development of a nation's history, as well as the inheritance and prosperity of its culture, are always inseparable from the role of education. Therefore, when studying the history of a nation, it is necessary to have a systematic and comprehensive understanding of its educational history. The Hui people, as a newly emerging ethnic group in the family of the Chinese nation, not only have a glorious history of political, economic, scientific and technological, and cultural achievements but also a rich history of educational achievements. This has become the objective basis for compiling the History of Hui Education.
