Chu treats the revolt's outbreak as rooted in specific communal friction between Han and Hui communities in Shaanxi in 1862 and in failures of Qing provincial governance, tracing the campaigns of local Hui commanders including Ma Hualong and the Ma-clan leaders of Gansu and the eventual Qing reconquest under the general Zuo Zongtang, rather than presenting the revolt as a war organized around Islamic doctrine as such.FactsSourcesClaims Backed By This Source (30 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedWen-djang Chu 1PublisherWell-attestedMouton and Co, The Hague 1Publication YearWell-attested1966 1Source TypeWell-attestedacademic monograph 1AssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1 1The first comprehensive English-language study of the revolt, drawing on Chinese official archives and local gazetteers; still the standard political and military history cited by later specialists of the period.Sources1.
