Some Thoughts on Ötükän
Öz
The Ötükän Mountain was Mecca of the Turks from 552 to 840. The essay has collected 22 Turkic and 84 Chinese records about the Ötükän Mountain, and mainly examined the geographical location the Ötükän. The Turkic records clearly indicated the Ötükän was the whole Khangai Mountains. The Chinese official records basically agreed with the Khangai and some wanted to be more specific to the Khotont Mountain. Many Chinese records left for further examination. In addition to many historical events, the Chinese records provided some important description about the religious life of the Ötükän, and the Dujin, appeared in a couple of early records, in fact was the older form of the Ötükän.
