Since the 1980s, four municipal Hui areas and 143 Hui townships have been restored and newly built. Hui regional autonomous areas at all levels not only enjoy the rights of the general administrative region of the country, but also enjoy the regional ethnic autonomy granted by the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, the Outline for the Implementation of Regional Ethnic Autonomy (promulgated in 1952), the Law on Regional Ethnic Autonomy (promulgated in 1984) and other national decrees, regulations and policy documents on ethnic policies. Through the implementation of the Decision of the State Council on Guaranteeing the Equal Rights of All Diaspora Ethnic Minorities (195 1 year), the Report of the Party Group of the State Ethnic Affairs Commission on Doing a Good Job in Mixed and Diaspora Ethnic Minorities (1979), and the Decision of the State Ethnic Affairs Commission on Strengthening Business in Mainland Cities and Towns, The policy documents, such as Opinions on the Work of Ethnic Minority Tourists in the Frontier (1987), Regulations on Administrative Work in Ethnic Villages (1993) and Regulations on Ethnic Work in Cities (1993), have also effectively guaranteed the ethnic equality rights of the Hui diaspora.
The construction of the regional autonomous areas of the Hui nationality has received great care and support from the party and the state, as well as the strong support from brother provinces and cities. 1958 Before and after the establishment of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the state transferred a large number of talents in science, technology, economy, culture and education from all over the country, and also moved a number of enterprises, hospitals and schools from advanced industrial areas such as Shanghai and Tianjin, thus effectively supporting the construction of Ningxia. From 1958 to 1998, the state's financial support for Ningxia only amounted to1000 billion yuan. The state has also allocated funds from the central government to build many key projects. From 1950 to 1995, the total investment in fixed assets in Ningxia was 42.957 billion yuan. The construction projects mainly included the project of fixing the sea and pumping water, the project of poverty alleviation and development in the "Three West" area, the project of fixing the yellow river in Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia salt ring, the construction of Baozhong railway, the project of poverty alleviation and yellow river in Ningxia, and Hedong in Ningxia.
The mountainous areas in southern Ningxia where the Hui people live in compact communities have harsh natural conditions, and the people have been living in poverty for a long time. 1982 * * * has a population of 2.278 million, and the per capita net income of farmers is only 126.58 yuan, and about 70% of them are poor households. In view of this problem, the party and the state decided to implement the "Three Wests" poverty alleviation plan (Xihaigu in Ningxia, Hexi Corridor in Gansu and Dingxi), with an annual investment of 200 million yuan (about 34 million yuan in Xihaigu, which was later increased in various forms) to solve the problem of food and clothing for people in this area. After the first phase of 10 efforts, it reached1999. In the Xihaigu area, 505,200 mu of water land (cumulative1068,800 mu), three fields 183 million mu (cumulative 2.37 million mu) were added, and the newly-increased afforestation living area was 2.7247 million mu, and 6.48 million mu was planted artificially. 85 drinking water projects for people and livestock were built, with water pits177,000 eyes, and various hanging villages 15 were established, with more than 200,000 immigrants. Through the above efforts, the per capita net income of farmers reached 355.8 yuan. 1994, the people's government of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region formulated the Ningxia "Double Hundred" Poverty Alleviation Plan, and determined the poverty-stricken population with per capita income below 500 yuan in Xihaigu area1398,000. By 1998, the per capita grain in Xihaigu area had reached 303 kg, the per capita net income was 896 yuan, and the poverty-stricken population was reduced to 520,000 (edited by Wang Zhengwei).
At the same time, the cultural and educational undertakings of the Hui people have also made great progress. Nine-year compulsory education has been popularized in most Hui residential areas in the mainland and coastal areas. Primary education has been popularized in Hui villages in northwest China, and boarding primary and secondary schools and girls' schools have been restored or built in many parts of the country. Throughout the motherland, professors, engineers, doctors, scientists, writers, artists, athletes and other professional and technical talents of the Hui nationality are constantly emerging. Some of them have enjoyed fame at home and abroad, and some have won prizes in domestic and international competitions, winning honor for the motherland.
Since the founding of New China, the state or relevant government departments have not only promulgated policies, decrees and regulatory documents on respecting the customs and habits of ethnic minorities, but also aimed at the customs and habits of Muslims such as Hui people. Promulgated the General Order of the State Council that Islamic people should be exempted from slaughter tax and relax inspection standards when slaughtering their own cattle and sheep during the three major festivals (1950), and the Notice of the Ministry of Agriculture on Encouraging Ethnic Minorities Living in Mixed Communities and Scattered Areas to Develop Sheep and Cattle Raising and Do a Good Job in Purchasing and Supply (1980).

The customs and habits of the Hui people are generally respected throughout the country. According to rough statistics, there are about 27 regulatory special documents made by provinces (cities) and autonomous regions in this regard, which have formed a series of policies, decrees, regulations, laws and systems in the production, processing, storage, transportation, management, supply and sales of Muslim food and special necessities for the production and life of the Hui people, as well as ethnic holidays of the Hui people. Most of the streets and towns where the main Hui people live in concentrated communities in China have Muslim restaurants or restaurants, and there are special Muslim cemeteries or cemeteries. Trains and passenger planes operating in Hui areas have also set up halal seats or supplied halal food according to state regulations. Under the arrangement of the state, with the development of market economy, the production and supply of ethnic products such as brown sugar, brick tea, white cloth, white hat, soup bottle, hanging pot, bowl cover, gold and silver jewelry, which are especially needed by the Hui people, are very rich. There are more than 20,000 mosques in Hui villages, streets and residential areas where Hui people live in cities all over the country. The repair work of some famous mosques with a history of more than 100 years has been funded and supported by the religious departments of the state or local governments. Under the policy of religious belief, Muslim Hui people "go their own way and do their own work", choose their own religious beliefs or sects to worship and fast completely according to their own wishes, and hold normal religious activities in mosques; Religious people, non-religious people and people who believe in different sects live in harmony and accept the management of relevant government departments according to law. A new atmosphere has emerged in religious circles, such as maintaining stability and unity, supporting ethnic education, publicizing family planning, volunteering as a legal propagandist and civil servant, greening the environment of religious activities, doing business to support themselves, and actively carrying out international cultural exchange activities.
For the Hui nationality, the historical opportunity of reform and opening up and developing the socialist market economy since 1979 is of special significance. It has re-inspired this nationality to carry forward the historical tradition of adapting to local conditions and being good at doing business, and made them step into the fast lane of hard work and prosperity with all ethnic groups, and began to develop in the depth of modern economy.
