Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This article is based on years of research, especially the textual analysis of ancient Chinese and Syrian historical materials, as well as archaeological discoveries, to construct a macro-framework of the history of ancient Uyghur Christianity. Although such a framework is relatively rough, it can provide a reliable macro-model and a grand framework for the detailed study of Uyghur Christianity in different historical stages, thereby being able to place many fragmented discoveries and research into this framework and produce a coherent and more accurate understanding. This short article provides a typical model of ethnic-religious history, constructing a macro-model of the historical development and the changes over time in Uyghur Christianity, as a new contribution to the academic community. Against the model and picture, scholars are able to fill in more details and even further correct the accuracy of the overall historical model.
