ABSTRACT

The exploration of "rationalization" in the context of modernity has long been a subject of interest and inquiry. To contribute to this discourse, this study undertook a comprehensive investigation and research in Donglianhua Village, located in Yongjian Town, Weishan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province. The objective was to delve into the religious, economic, and social aspects of the Muslim community in the village, particularly in light of the ongoing process of modernization. Drawing inspiration from Max Weber's concept of "rationalization," the study aims to shed light on how the Hui Muslim ethnic group in Donglianhua Village intricately weaves together both "value rationality" and "instrumental rationality" in their daily practices. By doing so, it challenges the oversimplified dichotomy of rationality proposed by Weber and presents a more nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics at play. This research critically examines the ways in which the Hui Muslim community negotiates their religious beliefs, economic pursuits, and social interactions within the changing landscape of modernity.
