Chinese annals are on the top of the main sources of the early history of Eastern Turkistan. These sources are ancient Chinese and are difficult to read. Moreover, in order to understand the sources terminological knowledge needs to be gained. Our article is an attempt for construction of that terminology. Terminology has connections with history, geography and culture apart from linguistic. In this regard, we will examine some special terminologies recorded in annals. In this context, first we will begin to discuss some terms of ancient Chinese documents such as wu-ku 五 穀, hsien 獻, kung 貢, tz’u 賜, tu-hu 都 護
Özet
Çin yıllıkları erken Doğu Türkistan tarihine dâir ana kaynakların başında gelir. Eski Çince olan bu kaynakların okunması zordur. Üstelik kaynakları anlayabilmek için terminolojik malûmata sâhip olmak gerekir. Makalemiz bu terminolojinin teşkilini sağmak üzere bir teşebbüstür. Terminolojinin dilbilim dışında tarih, coğrafya ve kültürle ilgisi vardır. Bu bakımdan yıllıklarda geçen bazı hususî terimleri inceleyeceğiz. Bu meyanda ilk olarak eski Çinlilerin Doğu Türkistan sahasıyla ilgili metinlerde kullandıkları wu-ku, hsien, kung, tzu, tu-hu gibi terimler ele alınacaktır.
