abandoned cultivation traced there to the south-east of Yangi-hissār and Bugur, together with
the 'Tatis' reported south of Charchi, strongly support this assumption ³—a distinctly shorter,
because straighter, line would have been available for ancient traffic between the ruined station
marked by the mound of Tim at the western end of Korla cultivation and Bugur.⁴ The length of
the stage, 200 li, indicated between the town of Yu-shu and the military post of Yu-lin (literally
the 'elm grove') suggests that no place of any importance was passed by the road of T'ang times
between the Korla oasis and a station somewhere to the south of Eshme or Chādir. This is easily
accounted for by the nature of the country through which the assumed direct route line must have
passed.
Location of It would serve no useful purpose, in the absence of direct archaeological evidence, to propose
stations W. conjectures about the exact location of the next two stages, Lung-ch'üan (the 'Dragon Spring')
of Bugur.
and Tung-i-p'i. That these must be looked for to the east of the present cultivated area of Bugur
seems clear. As regards Ch'ih-an and Hsi-i-p'i, the last two stages before Kuchā, we may allow
ourselves perhaps to be guided on the one hand by the proportion of the distances and on the other
by the physical conditions that determine halting-places on the line which the road west of Bugur
must have followed in ancient times as it does nowadays. If we are right in doing so, either the
present small roadside station of Chōl-ābād or the ruined post of Kuyuk-tura to the east of it would
suggest itself as a likely position for Ch'ih-an. The distance given as separating Ch'ih-an from
Kuchā, the seat of the An-hsi Protectorate, 120 li, is double that which the itinerary shows between
Ch'ih-an and the nearest post eastwards, Hsi-i-p'i, viz. 60 li. This same proportion of 2 : 1 holds
good, as the map shows, if we compare either the distance from Chōl-ābād to Kuchā with the
distance from Yangi-ābād to Chōl-ābād, or the distance from Kuyuk-tura to Kuchā with that from
Lai-su to Kuyuk-tura.
