What is the layout of "Bagua City" Turks

Tekes County, located in the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang, is the largest gossip city in the world. In the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian made an envoy to the Western Regions for the purpose of alliance with Wusun to contain the Huns. Wusun is today's Turks.

According to legend, the embryonic form of Turks Bagua City is the layout of the Qiu Chuji of "Changchun Real People". At that time, Qiu Chuji wandered the Tianshan Mountains for three years and was attracted by the Turks Valley. Therefore, four directions of Kanbei, Linan, Zhendong and Duxi were determined here. In 1936, Qiu Zongjun was appointed as the emissary of Yili to farm. Seeing that the terrain is open and extending in all directions, with the undulating Wusun Mountain on the back and the Tekes River surrounded by jade belts in front, he personally designed the map of the Bagua city.

The county town uses the Eight Diagrams Cultural Square as the Taiji “Yin and Yang” two instruments. According to the eight diagrams, eight main streets extend outward with rays. The street length is 1,200 meters, and a horizontal loop is set every thirty-six meters. There are four loops from the center to the outside. Eight streets on the first ring, sixteen streets on the second ring, thirty-two streets on the third ring, and 64 streets on the fourth ring, forming sixty-four hexagrams according to the eight-diagram orientation. The entire county town is radially circular, with roads and streets connected to each other. It is a city without traffic lights.
