Qocho
Qocho, also called the Idiqut state ("Holy Wealth, Glory"), is a Tocharian-Uyghur kingdom created in 843 by Uyghur refugees fleeing from the destruction of the Uyghur Khaganate after having been driven out by the Yenisei Kirghiz.
They make their summer capital in Qocho (also called Qara-Khoja, modern Gaochang District of Turpan) and winter capital in Beshbalik (modern Jimsar County, also known as Ting Prefecture).
Its population is referred to as the "Xizhou Uyghurs" after the old Tang Chinese name for Gaochang, the Qocho Uyghurs after their capital, the Kucha Uyghurs after another city they control, or the Arslan (lion) Uyghurs after their king's title
The Kingdom of Qocho's rulers trace their lineage to Qutlugh of the Ediz dynasty of the Uyghur Khagan.
