The change in dynasty in China from the [[Tang]] to the dynasties that included the [[Song]] did not greatly interrupt the trends of [[Islam in China|Muslims]] established during the [[Tang]].

Many Muslims began to go to China to trade during the [[Tang]] Dynasty. During the [[Song]] Dynasty, Muslims began to have a greater economic impact and influence on the country. During the [[Song Dynasty]] (960-1279), Muslims in China dominated foreign trade and the import/export industry to the south and west.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/history/china_1.shtml BBC Religion and Ethics ISLAM Origins]</ref>

In 1070, the Song emperor, Shen-tsung (Shenzong) invited 5,300 Arab men from [[Bukhara]], to settle in China. The emperor used these men in his campaign against the Liao empire in the northeast. Later on these men were settled between the Sung capital of Kaifeng and Yenching (modern day [[Beijing]]). The object was to create a buffer zone between the Chinese and the Liao. In 1080, 10,000 Arab men and women migrated to China on horseback and settled in all of the provinces of the north and north-east.<ref>Israeli (2002), pg. 283-4</ref>

The Arabs from Bukhara were under the leadership of Prince Amir Sayyid "So-fei-er" (his Chinese name). The prince was later given an honorary title. He is reputed of being the "father" of the Muslim community in China. Prior to him Islam was named by the Tang and Song Chinese as ''Ta-shi fa'' ("law of Islam"). He renamed it to ''Hui Hui Jiao'' ("the Religion of Double return").<ref>Israeli (2002), pg. 284</ref>

Actually no, the security settings are fine as they are. The idea is that all high-ranking [[Discordian]]s have the authority to create new articles and improve old ones, so that the encyclopedia grows 5% faster than it otherwise would. All humans are high-ranking Discordians, by default. [[User:Cyp|&#1603;&#1587;&#1610;&#1662; Cyp]] 15:06 27 May 2003 (UTC)

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to [[m:Help:Template#subst|substitute with text]] by adding '''subst:''' to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:<nowiki>test}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>{{test}}</nowiki>. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.</div>
