When Guo Ziyi put down the Anshi Rebellion, he borrowed Uighur soldiers from the Western Regions to suppress the rebellion. After the pacification, hundreds of Uighur soldiers accompanied Guo to Beijing. After entering Beijing, he settled in the north of Chenghuang Temple (North Guangji Street). These soldiers studied the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty and the customs and habits of the Han nationality. Later, people called the alley where they lived University Lane (still in use today).

But Uighurs are actually not Hui now. They believe in Shamanism and are the ancestors of Uighurs.

Xi 'an Hui people are descendants of intermarriage between Central Asians and West Asians who forcibly immigrated to the west during the expedition of Mongolian army in Yuan Dynasty. The ethnic composition of our ancestors was complicated, and Semu people accounted for a large proportion. Neither Song nor Yuan established their capital in Anjian, and Chang 'an declined in Tang Dynasty. The population has been greatly reduced, and the size of the city has been reduced, concentrated in the area within the current Xi' an city wall. Because of the close living habits, immigrants were placed in the original Semu residential area, and the neighborhood of Huimin gradually took shape.

Huimin Street was formed 1248 years ago and expanded 750 years ago. At present, Fang Hui area is centered on Daxie Lane, west to Damaishi Street, east to Gulou, north to Sajinqiao and south to Wuxing Street.

Correction upstairs:

1, Han Chang 'an is in the far northwest of An, and has nothing to do with this place. It is not said that the Han Silk Road ushered in the ancestors.

2. Foreign envoys in the Tang Dynasty must stay in Hongqiao Guest House with Guangmen (the function is similar to the complex of Diaoyutai and Embassy District, and Hongqiao Temple in the east is similar to the complex of Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security and Protocol Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

3. The existing Hui neighborhood is located in the office area of various ministries and commissions in the State Council, in the Tang Dynasty. After the Xuanwu Gate incident in Li Shimin, it moved to Daming Palace, and the original imperial city gradually opened, which used to be a restricted area.

4. The commercial and residential areas in Tang Dynasty were restricted by the government, so you can't live casually. It is precisely because Uighurs have the ability to counter-insurgency that the original imperial city was zoned out for living.

5. The reason why the Hui people were recalled was mainly the descendants of Miao people (including other nationalities) who were forced to immigrate from the occupied areas of Central Asia and West Asia during the Western Expedition of the Mongolian army in the Yuan Dynasty. These people miss their hometown, so they call it Hui Hui. Not as peaceful and harmonious as upstairs said.
