Changes in Territory During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a former driving country in Turpan Basin, and its territory included Zhaoha, Tun (now Yaer Township, Turpan City) and Hala River. Belonging to the former kingdom of Dongshi are: Tribal Tiger Kingdom (located in Liugu, now Shubaigou, Shanshan County), Xiaojin Guo Fu (located in Hu Na, now Xiyanchi, Shanshan County), Cheshi Houcheng Guo Chang (located in Lianmuqimu, now Lianmuqin Town, Shanshan County), and Cheshi Dewey Kingdom (located in Tooth Gallery, now Shanshan County). In the third year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (328), Xianhe established Gaochang County, which was composed of Gaochang County, Hengduan County and Tiandi County, and its territory included Shanshan County and the eastern part of Turpan City. In the 14th year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (640), Gaochang destroyed the Tang Dynasty and established Xizhou, which had jurisdiction over Gaochang, Jiaohe, Liu Zhong, Puchang and Tianshan. According to the Records of Yuanhe County, the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty is "895 miles long from east to west and 486 miles long from north to south." It is basically the same as today's regional layout. In the seventh year of Emperor Xiantong of Tang Dynasty (866), Gu Jun, the servant of the Uighur Chief, established the Gaochang Uighur Kingdom. Wang Yande said in The Story of Making Gaochang: Gaochang belongs to the kingdom of Uighur, "its land is in the south of Khotan, its southwest is far from Dashi and Persia, and its west is far from the Western Heaven". The Biography of Ba 'ershu Atkin in Yuan Dynasty said that Gaochang Uighur Kingdom "reaches Asu River in the north, Jiuquan in the south, Jiashiha in the east and Tubo in the west". Its jurisdiction starts from Hami and Yiwu in the east, Jiuquan in the southeast, Tubo in the west and Jimsar and Qitai County in the north. Turpan basin in Ming Dynasty belongs to the East Chagatai khanate, and now Turpan area is within its territory. During the period from Qing Qianlong to Guangxu, there were ministers of exhibition affairs, leaders of Turpan and Turpan Hall, which were in charge of Turpan Basin and Lop Nur affairs.
