The Sinicization of religions is not only “local” and “contemporary”, but also “global” and “international”. Reviewing and reinterpreting the overall history and major events of the Sinicization of Islam from the perspectives of “globalization” and “global history” will help to explore and present the “global” and “international” aspects of the Sinicization of religions. The connotation of “globalization” can be divided into the real and the imaginary, the broad and the narrow, indicating that not only Western-led globalization is called “globalization”, but also that globalization has occurred in the pre-modern period for many times. The globalization, which China has participated in and dominated, includes the “market globalization” in the Tang and Song dynasties, the “trade globalization” in the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, and the “tribute globalization” in the Ming and Qing dynasties. These rounds of globalization not only established the corresponding political order and trade cooperation, but also brought about the spread of culture and religions. The introduction of Islam into China, its in-depth Sinicization, and the emergence of several typical patterns of Sinicization are all related to globalization. In the midst of great changes that have not been seen in a century, a new round of globalization, “regional globalization”, in which China, the Arab countries and the Islamic world are the main participants, is on the verge of emergence.
