Research on Official Account Books and Documents Unearthed in Turpan
by Huanglou
About This Novel
This book takes the medieval official miscellaneous account books and documents from the Turpan region of Xinjiang as the research object, and discusses the economic and political systems of Chinese local governments and unified dynasties that governed the Turpan region from the Gaochang County of the Sixteen Kingdoms, through the Gaochang Kingdom of Kan and Qu, to the Xizhou period of the Tang Dynasty. Official account books and documents unearthed from Turpan such as the silk account provided by Beiliang Jizun, the colorful carpet account of Kan's Gaochang County, the Gaochang County update book of Xizhou in the Tang Dynasty, and the money collection copy of Beiting envoys during the Kaiyuan period further prove that Gaochang County was established in the Turpan region of Xinjiang more than 2,000 years ago and the county system was implemented. Its political, economic and cultural processes have been integrated with the mainland and are inseparable. Not only that, but it often set the precedent for change in certain fields. Major institutional changes in the Tang Dynasty such as the vassal system and the eunuch-supervised military system that had a profound impact on later generations all originated here.
