在太平天国革命的影响下,同治元年(1862年),陕西、甘肃两省相继爆发了声势浩大的回族人民反清武装斗争,从而揭开了陕甘回民起义运动的序幕。这次起义运动历时达12年之久,其规模之大,影响之深,在我国少数民族斗争史上实属罕见。它是清朝统治阶级长期进行反动的民族歧视和民族压迫所导致的必然结果,是回族人民卫教保种的民族自救运动。 Under the influence of the Taiping Revolution, the monolithic anti-Qing armed struggle of the Hui people broke out one after another in the first year of Tongzhi (1862) and Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, thus opening the curtain of the Hui uprising in Shaanxi and Gansu. The uprising lasted for 12 years, its large scale and profound influence were rare in the history of ethnic minorities in our country. It is the inevitable result of the long-term reactionary ethnic discrimination and national oppression by the ruling class of the Qing Dynasty and the national self-help movement for preserving the ethnic Hui people’s health.
