Abstract
The architectural form of the Ronghe mosque is an architectural work with cultural tolerance related to building function change and cultural fusion. The combination of culture is manifested in the form of the mosques interior with various elements and ornaments. The visual form of the mosques interior represents the function of the building inside. In addition to its practical functions, the visuals of mosque buildings provide visual meaning from the results of new formations because they get the influence of Chinese culture that characterizes the mosque so that it becomes a building of places of worship that have their own character without reducing the values of Islamic law. Acculturation or cultural fusion in its application to the interior of the mosque has a new form and some are only a combined form.
