Uighur history
Uighur is a branch of Tiele, and Chile is a tribal complex distributed in the south of Lake Baikal as early as the third century BC. Tribal groups have names such as Dili, Zile, Tiele and Dingling, all of which are transliterated with the same pronunciation. Because of the use of a cart with "high wheels and the most spokes", it is also called a high cart. These tribes have fifteen departments, including Yuan Yi, Xue Yantuo and Chyi Yu.
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Ge Yuan of Tiele was nomadic in the Ili River, Erhun River and Selenger River basins, and was enslaved by the Turkic khanate. Ge Wei was called in the Sui Dynasty. In the first year of the great cause of Sui Dynasty, Geyuan made an alliance with Fugu, Tongluo and Banye Valley for resisting the oppression of Turks.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Uighur tribal alliance was an important part of the Turkic khanate. In the first year of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty (605), Uighurs joined forces with Pugu and other tribes to rebel against the Ashina tribe and gradually became stronger. In the 20th year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (646), Uighur cooperated with Tang Jun to eliminate Xue Yantuo's regime. Uighur leaders claimed to be Khan and accepted the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, which was divided into six counties and seven states.
In the third year of Tianbao (744), the Uighur leader Guli Pelo established himself as Khan and established the Uighur regime. At this time, the area controlled by the Uighurs, from today's Ergon River in the east to the Yili River Basin in the west, became increasingly powerful. The rule of the East Turkic Khanate lasted until the middle of the 8th century, and was finally replaced by Uighur.
