本文运用文化人类学的理论和方法 ,对回族历史上文化适应的动力、原则、途径和效应进行了初步分析。作者认为 ,回族在族群文化建设中善于求同存异 ,既能积极借取和吸收以汉文化为主体的多元民族文化 ,又善于保持本民族的文化个性 ,努力做到和而不同 ,同而不化。回族文化适应的成功历史经验对其未来文化建设具有可资借鉴之处。 This paper uses the theories and methods of cultural anthropology to analyze the motivation, principles, ways and effects of cultural adaptation in the history of Hui nationality. The author believes that the Hui people are good at seeking common ground while reserving differences in ethnic culture construction. They not only actively borrow and absorb the multi-ethnic culture which is mainly composed of the Han culture, but also are good at maintaining the cultural identity of the nation and make efforts to achieve harmony instead of differentiation. The successful historical experience of cultural adaptation of Hui nationality has its own reference for its future cultural construction.
