Arabic words in the daily expressions of Chinese Muslims

ألفاظ اللغة العربية في التعابير اليومية للمسلمين الصينيين

Abstract

Many Arab and Chinese historians believe that Arab-Chinese communication dates back to a long time ago, and this communication cannot be separated from Arabic, as language is a necessary tool for communication between different peoples. The Arabic language entered China with the advent of Islam. It is well known that many Muslims learn Arabic from an early age and use a large number of Arabic vocabularies in their daily lives. The Arabic language not only has a significant impact on the Chinese language, but also on Chinese culture, especially on Muslim traditional culture. The objective of this article is to illustrate the impact of the Arabic language on the daily expressions of Chinese Muslims depending on the history of the spread of the Arabic language in China and to understand how the Hui nation was formed in China and how do Chinese Muslims accept the Arabic language and Islamic religion, how do they retain and use its vocabulary in their expressions, and how do they achieve the integration and harmony between the Arab culture and the Chinese culture.
