Abstract: In the fourth year of the Zhenguan reign, the Eastern Türk Khaganate was conquered and a large number of Türk tribes surrendered. Emperor Taizong of Tang adopted the strategy of “Preserving their tribes, following their local customs” and established Jimi Prefecture in the northern agricultural and pastoral transitional zone to settle them, and a large part of them were settled in the northern part of Hedong Dao. These settlements in the Fan tribes of the border became a force for the Tang Dynasty to stabilize the border. This article will study the settlement policy for Türk tribes surrendered during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, and explore its profound significance for the settlement of the entire Tang Dynasty’s Fan tribes.
