Features: With the collaborative efforts of various provinces and regions, seven series of books have been published successively, including Selected Compilations of Hui Clan Genealogies in Southern China, Selected Compilations of Hui Inscriptions and Couplets in Southern China, Selected Compilations of Historical Figures of the Hui in Southern China, Selected Compilations of Cultural and Educational Materials of the Hui in Southern China, Selected Compilations of Economic and Commercial Materials of the Hui in Southern China, Selected Compilations of Social Organization Materials of the Hui in Southern China, and Selected Compilations of Mosques of the Hui in Southern China. Selected Supplementary Materials of Hui Ancient Records in Southern China is the eighth volume of the Selected Compilations of Hui Ancient Records in Southern China series and also the last volume. The book Selected Supplementary Materials of Hui Ancient Records in Southern China primarily collects omitted materials from the first seven volumes from Hunan, Guangxi, Fujian, Hubei, Anhui, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangdong, covering 10 provinces and autonomous regions. The content collected is limited to before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Some provinces and regions submitted materials from after the founding of the PRC, but due to the unrestricted scope of the series, these were not included. The editorial format of this book is divided into seven parts—genealogies, inscriptions and couplets, historical figures, cultural and education, economic and commerce, social organizations, and mosques—based on the content of the first seven volumes. Some materials submitted by individual provinces and regions that were difficult to classify are included as appendices. During the editing process, to maintain consistency in format, some modifications and adjustments were made to the catalogs submitted by certain provinces and regions, and some notes were removed. We apologize for any inconvenience to the editors of the relevant provinces and regions.
