Prof. Dr. Fuad Köprülü states based on“Cevahirü’l-Ebrar min Emvaci’l-Bihar”: “AhmedYesevi was born in the town of Sayram, which is176 km to the north east of Aksu District in EastTurkistan region of China.” See Türk Edebiyatındaİlk Mutasavvıflar, 7.

İslam Ansiklopedisi, Volume2, İstanbul: Türkiye Diyanet Vakfı, 1989, p. 4497 “Thus did the Khan bring order to his country, hispeople got rich; in that period, lambs and wolvesdrank water from the same place.” ( 449); “Look,he tied a belt of bliss around the world; wolves andlambs lived together.” (461); “Many hungry wolvesgathered at the door; Hey the Khan, thou protectthe lambs.” (1413); “Wolves and lambs became friends.”(3096) See. Yusuf Has Hacib, Kutadgu Bilig,İstanbul: Kabalcı Yayınevi, 2008.8 The Chinese attempts to explain the 1000-yearperiod by manipulating the diplomatic relationsbetween Chinese dynasties and Turkic States foundedin east Turkistan. For instance, China considersthe gifts sent by Turkic states to Chinesedynasties as “taxes” and thereby attempts to presentthis as an affiliation between the central governmentand khanates. However, historians haverecently found out that the Chinese recorded thegifts of Chinese Emperors to foreigners as “gifts” or“presents” whereas they recorded the gifts comingfrom foreign states as “taxes”. They also recordedthe annual taxes which the Chinese regularly paidto Gokturk and Uyghur Khanates as “gifts” or “presents”.Therefore, the concept “Who pays tax toChina is affiliated to China” has no validity.9 Zhe Wu, (), Xinjiang: Ethnic Identity,International Competition and Chinese Revolution,1944-1962 (, 1944-1962), University of Taiwan,Faculty of Letters, Department of HistoricalResearches, a Doctoral Thesis, Taipei: 2006.10 From the letter of Kulu Bey -the son of YakupBey, the Kashgar Khan- to the Ottoman Sultan.See.
