Where is the ancient "southern Xinjiang" today?

In ancient times, "Southern Xinjiang" was today's Kashgar, Tumushuke, Aksu, Aral, Hotan, Korla, tiemenguan, Kunyu Mountain and other places.

Southern Xinjiang has been a multi-ethnic community since ancient times. The arts and colorful customs of Han, Uygur, Tajik, Kirgiz and other ethnic groups constitute a humanistic landscape with strong national characteristics. Hundreds of ancient city pools, ancient tombs, thousand Buddha caves and other historical sites left on the south and middle trunk lines of the ancient Silk Road show the long history and vicissitudes.

Extended data:

The drought in southern Xinjiang, the dust that covers the sun at the turn of spring and summer every year, makes cotton seedlings wither, makes apricot flowers wither in late spring, and there are dry and hot winds, hail and floods. The harsh natural conditions make agriculture in southern Xinjiang a typical weak industry, and then make the vast area south of Tianshan Mountain the most difficult area to get rid of poverty and get rich. Up to now, there are still a large number of rural people who have not solved the problem of food and clothing. ?

Southern Xinjiang is also rich. There are quite rich oil, natural gas and various precious mineral resources buried under the vast Taklimakan desert. The Tianshan Mountains, Karakorum Mountains and Altun Mountains around the desert are also rich in coal, nonferrous metals and ferrous metals.
