7 “Thus did the Khan bring order to his country, his
people got rich; in that period, lambs and wolves
drank water from the same place.” ( 449); “Look,
he tied a belt of bliss around the world; wolves and
lambs lived together.” (461); “Many hungry wolves
gathered at the door; Hey the Khan, thou protect
the lambs.” (1413); “Wolves and lambs became friends.”

8 The Chinese attempts to explain the 1000-year
period by manipulating the diplomatic relations
between Chinese dynasties and Turkic States founded
in east Turkistan. For instance, China considers
the gifts sent by Turkic states to Chinese
dynasties as “taxes” and thereby attempts to present
this as an affiliation between the central government
and khanates. However, historians have
recently found out that the Chinese recorded the
gifts of Chinese Emperors to foreigners as “gifts” or
“presents” whereas they recorded the gifts coming
from foreign states as “taxes”. They also recorded
the annual taxes which the Chinese regularly paid
to Gokturk and Uyghur Khanates as “gifts” or “presents”.
Therefore, the concept “Who pays tax to
China is affiliated to China” has no validity.
