About This Novel
In 840 AD, the Uighur Khanate, which had dominated the Mongolian Plateau for nearly a hundred years, collapsed. The Uighurs moved westward to the northern and southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and established the Xizhou Uighur Dynasty with the Turpan Basin as the center. The Uighurs, who were originally a nomadic civilization, absorbed the culture of the Han people and local ethnic groups and developed the unique Xizhou Uighur civilization, which profoundly changed the ethnic and cultural landscape of eastern Central Asia. They controlled the northern and southern routes of the Silk Road from the Tianshan Mountains from the 9th to the 13th century, and were the link between the Central Plains and the West between the Tang and Yuan Dynasties. This book shows just such a historical picture and a portrayal of the economic prosperity of the Silk Road.
