Features: Editor's Recommendation: Xinjiang is located in the heart of Asia and the northwest of China, anciently known as the Western Regions. With over 1.6 million square kilometers of land, it is the largest province in China in terms of area. Xinjiang has long been a region inhabited by multiple ethnic groups, where many ancient tribes and ethnicities have been active. Since the Warring States period, the oasis states have spoken different languages, and regions like Loulan, Cheshi, Yanqi, Kuche, Shule, and Yutian have distinct cultural characteristics. The residents have always had racial differences in appearance. The rise and fall of the Sai people, Yuezi people, Xiongnu people, Usun people, Qiang people, Xianbei people, Rouran people, Turks, Tibetans, Khagan people, Uyghurs, and Mongols have been recorded in history, actively engaging in the north and south of the Tian Shan Mountains, making significant contributions to the development of Xinjiang's civilization and creating immortal culture.
