AResearchonXinjiangToponymyfromtheProspectiveofMulti-EthnicCommunication,AssociationandEthnicalBlending……………………………………AblikimAbdurashid（090）

The Research of historical place names of Xinjiang in Qing dynasty sources has the vital significance to demonstrate the formation of the Chinese Diverse Integral Structure.The essay mainly deals with the etymology,origin and meaning of the place names in Xinjiang.From linguistic and etymological point of view,it is a known fact that many place names in Xinjiang are originated from different languages like Chinese,Uyghur,Tocharian,Sakan,Mongolian,Sanskrit,Kazakh,Kirghiz,Persian and Arabic which are the result of longterm cultural communication,association and ethnical blending.At present,there have been some discussions on the relationship between place names and the history of the Western Regionsin the academic circle,but there are few special discussions from the perspective of special place names.Given this,this paper analyzes and studies one aspect of multi-ethnic communication and integration reflected by Xinjiang place names,with the help of field research,literature research and other ways.We think that the mosaic being of the Xinjiang place names becomes a prime source for the study of the historical background of the Chinese Diverse Integral Structureand providesan insight into Chinese cultural symbolsfromtimeand space.
