Since ancient times, the Hui people in Chinese history have adhered to their beliefs and strictly forbade the eating of pork and the consumption of alcohol. Although this Xi is part of personal life, it also has an impact on the survival of the Hui in officialdom to a certain extent. On the one hand, eating meat and drinking wine is an indispensable part of officialdom entertainment, and if you don't drink alcohol and eat meat, it is very difficult to survive in officialdom. On the other hand, the Qing Dynasty court had a rule that Hui officials were required to eat pork if they were official to the third rank and above. This seems to be a privilege, but in fact it is a kind of helplessness.
According to the rules of the Qing court, if the Hui officials reached the third rank and above, they could enjoy the right to meat without constraints. Sanpin, which is equivalent to "ministerial level", belongs to high-ranking officials, which seems to be a way out, but it is actually a dilemma. For most Muslim officials, they have to stand up for their faith while dealing with the challenges of officialdom. In this case, they must find a balance that satisfies their beliefs and adapts to the needs of officialdom.
In officialdom, Muslim officials often need to find a way to find a compromise. They may choose to let the other person know in advance that they don't want to eat pork, or substitute other alternatives for wine at the table. While these practices can avoid some embarrassment, they do not solve the problem at the root cause. For some important socializing, they may choose to avoid a dilemma.
However, avoidance is not a long-term solution. For an official, not being able to handle social occasions well will not only affect his career, but also affect the image of the entire nation. Therefore, Hui officials must find a way to stay true to their faith and adapt to officialdom.
Under these circumstances, some clever Hui officials began to seek cooperation with Han Chinese officials. They understand and respect each other's beliefs and ways of life by building good relationships with Han Chinese officials. In this way, they are not only better able to adapt to the needs of officialdom, but also to hold fast to their beliefs. Such an approach is not only conducive to the development of the individual, but also to the unity and progress of the entire nation.
However, this compromise is not something that all Muslim officials can do. Some people may choose to quit their careers because they cannot adapt to the environment of officialdom, and some people may be excluded and suppressed because they cannot stick to their beliefs. The emergence of these situations shows that the officialdom is challenging and pressuring the Muslim officials.
To sum up, the ban on meat and alcohol among the Hui people in officialdom is not only a kind of adherence to personal beliefs, but also a dilemma and a way out for survival in officialdom. For Muslim officials, they must find a balance that satisfies their beliefs and adapts to the needs of officialdom. Only in this way will they be able to maintain their beliefs and realize their values. In this process, it is crucial to seek cooperation and understanding with Han Chinese officials. True balance and harmony can only be achieved on the basis of mutual respect and understanding.
