История тюрок (туцзюэ) в 630–682 гг. по данным нормативной истории «Старая книга [об эпохе] Тан» (Цзю Тан Шу)

This article discusses the biographies of the Turkic tribal leaders whose activities lasted from the collapse of the East Turkic Qaghanate in 630 to its revival in 682 under the power of Ashina Gudolu 阿史那骨咄禄 (?-691). These biographies are described in 194th juan of the Chapter “Biographies [put in] a row” (Lie zhuan 列傳) of the “Old Book of Tang” (Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書) normative history. Two blocks of information about political and ideological aspects of presenting the history of the Turkic people (tujue) during this period are identifi ed. Topics from the fi rst block include assertion of control over the Turkic tribes (relocation of the tujue after the collapse of the First East Turkic Qaghanate, bestowal of Chinese positions and titles on the representatives of the Turkic elites, institution of hostage taking); armed confl icts between the Turkic tribes and other nomadic tribes, and attacks on China; issues associated with the inclusion of the “Turkic” areas into the administrative and territorial structure of the Tan 唐 Empire (618-907), and relocation of the Turkic people into its interior regions). Topics from the second block include the refl ection of the universalist paradigm of the Chinese foreign policy based on the worldview of the Mandate of Heaven (tian ming 天命) in the corresponding parts of the Jiu Tang shu as well as details of the Chinese attitudes towards the non-Han populations dwelling on the periphery of the Empire. Differences in the approaches of the Chinese historiographers to narrating the history of tujue of the period of existence and collapse of the Turkic nomadic states are discussed.
