回鹘是今天雏吾尔族和裕固族的共同祖先,在中国历史上,这是一个非常活跃的民族,很长一段时间以来,研究回鹘的历史和文化多是根据汉文文献。《纪闻花絮》产生于11世纪中期,成于伽色尼王朝的一位名叫迦尔迪齐的年轻人之手,堪称历史学、地理学和民族学多种资料的汇集。该书对九姓乌古斯,即回鹘有比较详细的记载,不仅可与中国史书或回鹘文献的相关记载相印证,而且有很多记载不见于汉文史籍,弥足珍贵。从《纪闻花絮》可以看出九姓乌古斯之民居、服饰颇有个性,跟吐鲁番地区气候条件具有极其密切的关系,为今后回鹘历史和文化研究提供了新思路。
Uighur is the common ancestor of today''s Uighur and Yugur .Uighur is a very active nation in Chinese history .Since a very long time , Uighur history and culture studies are mostly based on Chinese documents .Zayn-al-akhbār was produced in the mid -11th century, as in the hands of a young man named Gardīzīwho lived in Ghaznavid-dynasty .This book is called the collection of the history ,geography and ethnology variety of data .The book has more detailed records on Toquz Oghuz ,scilicetUighur ,which not only do comparison of the Chinese history books or Uighur documents ,but also there are many documents that are not in Chinese historical records ,so it is very precious .By Zayn-al-akhbār ,we can see that the residents and costumes of Toquz Oghuz are quite personal ,which was closely related to the climatic conditions in Turpan area .
