If you're interested in the religous conversions of Uygurs....well then you should read this. It's that simple.

For Turks, the homeland isn't Turkey, nor yet Turkistan. Their country is a vast, eternal land: Turan!

In caves of Bezeklik, you see the pictures and murals of ancient Buddhist and Nestorian Christian presence in the region, but one by one they were defaced and slashed by sword marks when the region in Timurlengs time forcibly converted to Islam and totally adopted the Turkic speech.

Hello,
For some time, I have been studying the history of the Tang Empire. During this period, there was a strong Turkic presence in China, especially along the western and northern frontiers. In addition to the Uighurs, who often converted to Christianity, there were two royal tribes called Ashina and Ashide, which practiced mainly Tengric shamanism. In Chinese sources, these tribes are called Tujue.
There is not much information available concerning the Ashina and Ashide tribes. Can anyone send me some details?

Tujue was just the Chinese name for the Turks. Specifically the Gokturks, who ruled Mongolia and much of central Asia during the early Tang dynasty. Later the Uighurs took over Mongolia and were also at war with the Tang much of the time. While they were in Mongolia the Uighurs were Tengriists and Manichaeans.
