The '''Panthays''' are a group of [[Chinese Muslims]] of [[Hui people|Hui]] ethnicity who migrated from [[Yunnan]] province in [[China]] to [[Myanmar]] (Burma) and other parts of [[Southeast Asia]]. They are known for their unique cultural and religious practices, which blend elements of Chinese and Islamic traditions.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Panthays' migration to Myanmar was largely a result of the [[Panthay Rebellion]] (1856–1873), a conflict between the Hui Muslims and the Qing dynasty in Yunnan. The rebellion was led by [[Du Wenxiu]], who established the [[Dali Sultanate]] in an attempt to create an independent Muslim state.<br />

<br />
===Panthay Rebellion===<br />
The Panthay Rebellion was a significant uprising that resulted in the deaths of many Hui Muslims and led to the migration of survivors to neighboring countries. The rebellion was part of a series of uprisings by ethnic minorities against the Qing dynasty, which was seen as oppressive and discriminatory towards non-Han Chinese groups.<br />

===Migration to Myanmar===<br />
Following the suppression of the rebellion, many Panthays fled to Myanmar, where they established communities in cities such as [[Mandalay]] and [[Rangoon]]. They were welcomed by the Burmese king, who saw them as valuable allies and traders.<br />
<br />
==Culture and Society==<br />
The Panthays have maintained a distinct cultural identity, characterized by their adherence to [[Islam]] and their use of the [[Chinese language]]. They have also integrated aspects of Burmese culture into their daily lives.<br />
