Dongxiang's national language belongs to Altai Mongolian language family, which has no written language. Most Dongxiang people are familiar with Chinese, which is the common language of Dongxiang people and believes in Sunni Islam.

Contemporary Hui people generally use Chinese, and different regions hold different dialects.

Step 2 prescribe diet

Hui people don't eat pigs, horses, donkeys, mules, dogs and all animals and animal blood that have died by themselves. All ugly birds and animals, whether cattle, sheep, camels or chickens, must be slaughtered by imams or worshippers after chanting the name of Allah, otherwise they can't eat them. In daily life, Hui people don't smoke or drink, but they especially like to drink tea and entertain guests with tea.

Dongxiang people mainly take wheat, beans, highland barley and other pasta and potatoes as staple foods, while cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and fish as non-staple foods. However, meat can only be eaten after being slaughtered by imams or well-behaved elders. Avoid eating the meat of pigs, dogs, horses, donkeys, mules and fierce animals, and don't splash water with your backhand. When eating, you must break the cake and steamed bread or break them.

The meat food of Baoan nationality is mainly beef and mutton.

Moreover, it must be slaughtered by imams or Islamic elders, and they like to stew meat, such as catching mutton and bowls of vegetables. Whole sheep summer sleeping mat is the most famous.

Hui women usually wear white round hats and hijab (also called hijab). Whether it is Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Hainan and other coastal areas, or the mainland, it is generally blue and white, with girls, daughters-in-law and elderly people. Generally girls wear green, married women wear black, and elderly women with grandchildren or elderly women wear white.

In ancient times, Dongxiang women loved to wear embroidered clothes with collars and large sleeves, with wide sleeves and lace cuffs. Wear trousers with two embroidered edges on the legs, a small fork at the back of the legs, and tie the foot tube with streamers. Wear embroidered skirts on festive occasions. They call this embroidered skirt "beautiful" and embroidered shoes with high heels. At that time, I didn't wear a hijab, only a headscarf, ornaments on my bun, and silver ornaments on my chest.

At first, the security guards lived next to the Mongols, and their costumes were similar to those of the Mongols. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, influenced by Tibetans and Tu people, clothing changed: in spring, summer and autumn, both men and women wore long gowns and hats, and some men also wore high-necked white jackets and black vests. Women wear brightly colored embroidered shoes.
