Abstract: The Jians' Family Tree as revised by descendents of the Jians of Uyghur nationality is the first and only family tree of
Uygurs in our country, which has the research value to fill up a blankness in the historical tradition of Uygur compiled pedigree. Jians'
Family Tree reflects the history of Uygur Jians' national and political identities and the integration of Uygur culture and Confucian
culture. The compilation of Jians' Family Tree reflects the history of Uygur and Han nationalities integration, and research on it has an
important theoretical and practical value in advancing the national political identity of the Uygurs in the Mainland, the integration of
Islamic culture and Han culture, and the integration of the Uygur and Han ethnic groups.
