Qingjing Mosque
The Qingjing Mosque (Chinese: 清净寺; Arabic: مسجد الأصحاب, romanized: Masjid al-Aṣḥāb), also known as the Ashab Mosque, is a mosque located on Tumen Street, in the city of Quanzhou, Fujian, China.
In 2021, the mosque was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with other sites in and around Quanzhou because of its religious significance in the Song and Yuan dynasties, its importance to the medieval maritime trade of China, and its testimony to the global exchange of ideas and cultures during that time. The mosque is also listed as a Chinese major cultural heritage site.
Constructed in 1009 CE, the 2,500-square-metre (27,000 sq ft) Arab style mosque is the oldest of its kind in China.[citation needed] Many Song dynasty mosques were built in this Arabian style in coastal cities, due to communities of Arab merchants living in them. The entrance to the mosque (Chinese: 泉州清净寺; pinyin: Quán Zhōu Qīng Jìng Sì) is the only example of stone entrances in mainland China. The mosque inscriptions are in Arabic.
