Lors du massacre de Yangzhou qui se déroule en l'an 670, sous la dynastie Tang à Yangzhou, des rebelles chinois dirigés par Tian Shengong se sont livrés au massacre de marchands étrangers arabes et perses en 760 apr. J.-C.
Ce massacre ne doit pas être confondu avec celui qui a eu lieu dans la même ville en 1645, après la prise de la ville par les troupes de la dynastie Qing, lors de leur conquête de la Chine du Sud
Contexte
[modifier | modifier le code]Au cours des décennies précédent le massacre, une riche communauté de marchands arabes et persans s'était installé à Yangzhou, qui était devenu un grand centre de commerce.
En 758, soit deux ans avant le massacre, des pirates arabes et persans ont attaqué et pillé des entrepôts à Guangzhou (connus sous le nom de Khanfu ou Sin-Kalan), selon un rapport local du gouvernement de Guangzhou daté du jour de Guisi (癸巳) du neuvième mois lunaire de la première année de l'ère Qianyuan de l'empereur Suzong de la dynastie Tang (大 食, 波斯 寇 廣州) ; ce qui correspond au [1],[2],[3],[4]
Cette attaque a alimenté et amplifié les sentiments de xénophobie de la population Chinoise envers les marchands et les commerçants étrangers, qui sont devenus des boucs émissaires lors du déclin de la dynastie Tang[Pas dans la source][5].
Massacre
[modifier | modifier le code]Le massacre a eu lieu pendant la Révolte d'An Lushan. Des marchands arabes et persans dans la ville ont été massacrés par milliers lorsque des soldats rebelles de Tian Shengong (田神功) sont arrivés dans la ville. Les marchands ont été ciblés parce qu'ils étaient à la fois riches et étrangers[6],[7],[8],[1],[2],[3],[4],[9],[10],[11],[12],[13],[14] (大 食 波斯賈 胡 人; 商 胡 波斯 數千 人) [15].

.« these manliao ( j§ w) [Southern barbarians] would pollute the Chinese culture through intermarriage and upset the land ownership system through land acquisition. . .For example, in AD 760, Yangzhou was attacked by a nearby garrison troop led by Tian Shengong (HJ^ff-w), who was ironically invited by the local authorities to help crush a local uprising. Consequently, a few thousand Arab and Persian merchants were robbed and killed (Jin Tangshu, ch. 110). In the 830s, a mandarin in Guangzhou took steps to control the Arab and Persian Muslims by ordering that Chinese and barbarians must live in separate quarters and must not intermarry; barbarins were also not allowed to own land and paddy fields (Jin Tangshu, ch. 177) Thereafter, Arab and Persian traders lived in designated quarters . . .they also enjoyed religious freedom and kept their Islamic lifestlye intact. . .the Arab and Persian Muslims were also contented to stay out of the Confucian Chinese world so long as the authorities concerned pledged to provide aman [security] for them to lead a peaceful life according to the Islamic doctrines. »
