The name Songaria, by which this valley was known until its occupation by the Chinese, dates back to the seventh century. It was then occupied by a Turkish tribe, at that time in possession of Central Asia, which had divided into two tribes or divisions, known as the Junyar, or Eastern Division, and the Boronyar, or Western Division. (!) When the dominion of this latter came to an end the
... name of the Western Division disappeared with it. The name Jun-gar remained, however, and the country became known as Songaria.
The earliest inhabitants of this country seem to have been a people called the Szu. Adjoining them on the east, occupying pastures on China's northwestern border, north of Tibet, was another numerous people, known to the Chinese as the Yueh Ti, who have been identified as the Goths. In the 3 rd century B. C. They were driven westward by the terrible Hsiung-nu (2) sometimes mistakenly identified with the Huns the warlike tribes against whom Shih Hwang-ti, the founder of the Ch'in dynasty, waged successful wars and to whose incursions China owes the erection of the Great Wall.
