In ancient Chinese, the word "halal" was often used by Taoism to mean "purity and simplicity" and "quiet and noble". For example, in Appreciation of Shi Shuo Xin Yu, "Gong Shan praised Ruan Xian as an official, saying," Halal is lacking in desire, and everything cannot be moved. "Shi Shuo Xin Yu": "Taizu respected it with halal. "In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai had the poem" Dai Sheng is retro, and hanging clothes is expensive and halal ".
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Islamic scholars in China praised God worshipped by Islam with words such as "quiet and unpolluted" and "God's original uniqueness is called halal", so they called Islam "Puritanism" and its temples "Mosques".
Later, Hui Muslims used the word "halal" more and more in their praise and interpretation of Islam, thinking that purity means purity, truth means impurity, and purity means "halal". As a result, the relationship between the word "halal" and Islam has gradually strengthened. Now commonly used words related to halal include mosque, telling the truth, halal food, halal restaurant and so on.
