Shule County, also known as Yengisheher County[3] or Yengixahar County,[4] is a county of Kashgar Prefecture, in Xinjiang, China. It is located to the south of Kashgar. In ancient times, the Shule area was once the home to a Xiyu oasis civilisation, the Shule Kingdom.
Etymology
Shule originally referred to Kashgar's new city, built by Han Chinese settlers, located 6miles from the old one.[5] Shule may have been an attempt by the Chinese to transcribe the Sanskrit name for Kashgar, Sanskrit: Śrīkrīrāti .[6] The county's Uyghur name literally means "Kashgar New City".
History
On May 31, 2012, Sidik Kurban was sentenced by Shule County Intermediate People's Court to fifteen years in jail and five years deprivation of political rights for 'inciting ethnic separatism' related to involvement in 'illegal religious activities'. For a decade, he had overseen home-based religious schools for eighty-six students.[7]
Administrative divisions
The county includes 3 towns and 12 townships.[8] [9] [10]
