Manuscript of the Quran
The Quran is the code of conduct for all Muslims around the world, and on three levels, the Quran manuscript is a treasure treasure treasured by the Salar people for generations, a holy relic of Islam, and one of the most precious cultural relics in the world.
The Quran manuscript is divided into two letters, sealed with rhinoceros skin, which is printed with exquisite patterns, and the whole book is 681 pages, wrapped in precious silk.
As we all know, Islam originated in the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century AD, and is called the world's three major religions along with Buddhism and Christianity, and the manuscript of the Quran collected by the mainland is one of the only three remaining books in the world. What role do the Saraces play in this?
The Salar people are one of the many ethnic minorities on the mainland, their ethnic language is Salar, mainly living in Xunhua Sala Autonomous County and other places in Qinghai Province, with a population of about 130,000.
According to records, the ancestors of the Salar tribe once lived in Central Asia, and because they were ostracized by the king, the ancestors of the Salar tribe took their people to leave their hometown and find a paradise suitable for them to live in.
After a group of people came to Xunhua County in Qinghai Province, they made their home here, and among the many items they carried, there was a manuscript of the Quran that was regarded as a treasure by the tribesmen.
The Quran manuscripts have been kept by the "Guru" (the head of religions) for generations, and even in the 22nd year of Guangxu (1896), the "Ga-Max" system was abolished, but the Qur'an was still kept by the descendants of the Patriarch.
However, in the following decades, the Quran has undergone many twists and turns, changing hands several times, but fortunately, it finally returned to the hands of the Salars.
In order to keep the Qur'an, an extremely precious cultural relic, safely preserved, the Salar people decided to store it in the Great Mosque of Jiezi, which is still there today.
According to expert research, the Quran collected by the mainland is a manuscript of the 8th century AD, and there are only 3 manuscripts in the world with such a long history.
