Dabaidian Mosque

📜 About & history

Dabaidian Mosque lies south of Dabaidian in Dabai Township, Feixi County, Anhui. First built in the Qianlong era of the Qing dynasty, its surviving buildings date from a rebuilding in 1842 (22nd year of Daoguang) and comprise five tiled rooms and two bluestone stelae. The 1780 stele, written by the official Yang Tianwen, sets out rules for managing mosque property, religious conduct and administration in 496 characters on a decorated stone 91 cm by 45 cm; the Daoguang-era stele records the later repairs. Both are incised in regular script and set into the mosque wall, and together with the building they are important evidence for the history of Islam in central Anhui under the Qing.
