Prehistoric china's chronology is divided into the Paleolithic Age, the Neolithic Age, and the Bronze Age. Most probably the first dynasty in ancient China, it's generally believed that the xia Dynasty consisted of several clans living alongside the Yellow River. Most of the evidence for the Xia Dynasty, including its name, is perhaps just legend. Islam has been practiced in China about 1,300 years. The Hui people are an East Asian ethnic group predominantly composed of Chinese speaking adherents of Islam distributed throughout China, mainly in the northwestern provinces of the country and the Zhongyuan region.
