红军西征时在宁夏豫旺地区实行了卓有成效的民族政策,先后成立了豫海县单家集回民自治政权,帮助回民群众进行反对苛捐杂税和分财产的斗争;保护宗教信仰自由,建立回民自己的武装,实现多民族联合抗日。这些民族政策的伟大尝试,对陕甘宁边区根据地的形成,对支持八年民族抗战乃至对新中国成立后设立宁夏回族自治区都具有重要的意义。 During the Western Expedition, the Red Army carried out a fruitful national policy in the Yu-Mong district of Ningxia. Successively established the Autonomous Regime for the Muslims in Yuhai County alone, it helped the masses of the Muslims struggle against the tyranny of miscellaneous taxes and sub-assets; and protected the freedom of religious belief and established the Muslims themselves Armed with a united multi-ethnic anti-Japanese. The great attempt of these national policies has an important significance on the formation of the base areas of the Shan-Gan-Ning Border Region, on the support of the eight-year national war of resistance against Japan and even on the establishment of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region after the founding of new China.
