within a few years, for a similar decree in favour of his wife is recorded for the year 740 ³⁷.
Of Wei-ch'ih Kuei's son and successor Shêng we possess somewhat fuller data, a special biography
being devoted to him in the T'ang Annals ³⁸. We learn from them that during the period
T'ien-pao (742–755 A.D.) this Khotan ruler came to present offerings to the emperor and received
from him an imperial princess in marriage. After returning to his territory he helped Kao
Hsien-chih to attack and vanquish Sa-pi-po-hsien. In the latter M. Chavannes has recognized
with good reason the chief of Little P'o-lü or Gilgit-Yasin, against whom, as we have already
seen, Kao Hsien-chih directed his famous campaign across the Pamirs in 747 A.D. ³⁹. In the latter
year, as well as in 748, embassies from Khotan with presents for the imperial court are recorded ⁴⁰.
Shêng testified his attachment to the imperial house still further by leaving, in 756, his territory
in order to support with five thousand horse the emperor Su tsung in his desperate struggle
against the pretender An Lu-shan. Shih-hu (Jabgu) Yao, his younger brother, to whom he had
entrusted the charge of his state, was in 760 appointed second in command of the 'Four
Garrisons', with the task of carrying on the government of the Khotan kingdom.
Shêng himself died in China, while his brother was still ruling, about 786, when Wu-k'ung Wu-k'ung's
passed through Khotan. The pilgrim's itinerary duly mentions him by the name of Wei-ch'ih visit to
Yao, and by his side the deputy-governor Chêng Chü, evidently a Chinese official ⁴¹. The Khotan,
special interest of Wu-k'ung's notice lies in the fact that it relates to the very close of the circ. 786 A.D.
period of T'ang dominion in Eastern Turkestān. When sketching the history of this dominion
in chapter III, we have already seen how the advance of the Tibetans east of the Tārim Basin
had, during the last third of the eighth century, rendered more and more difficult the maintenance
of Chinese authority by the officials and troops left behind in the 'Four Garrisons' ⁴².
Wu-k'ung's record and the Chinese documents brought to light from the ruins of Dandān- End of
Uiliq, bearing dates from 768–790 A.D., afford valuable testimony to the fact that Chinese Chinese
administrative influence made itself felt at Khotan to within a year of the date (790–791) supremacy,
when all connexion between the empire and the 'Four Garrisons' was finally broken by the circ. 791 A.D.
Tibetan occupation of Pei-t'ing (Beshbalik). We know that the direct route between the
southern oases of the Tārim Basin and Kan-su had become closed long before through the
advance of the Tibetans. A sidelight is thrown on the resulting insecurity of communication
by a curious story which closes the notice of Yü-t'ien in the T'ang Annals. It relates how
Chu Ju-yü, a palace official sent in 780 A.D. to Khotan to purchase jade articles for the
emperor Tê tsung, was on the return journey robbed of his precious acquisitions by marauding
Hui-ho (Uigurs) ⁴³.
SECTION V.—LATER CHINESE RECORDS OF KHOTAN
From the year 790–791 Chinese records cease to furnish any information on the region once
comprised in the 'Four Garrisons' for nearly one and a half centuries. As the notice of the
Posterior Tsin Annals to be discussed presently tells us, 'the troubles which agitated China
