A ''zhuz'' ( , also translated as "horde" or "hundred") is one of the three main territorial and tribal divisions in the Kypchak Plain area that covers much of the contemporary Kazakhstan, and represents the main tribal division within the ethnic group of the Kazakhs. *The Senior zhuz (also ''Greater zhuz''; (カザフ語:''Ұлы жүз'') ''Ulı jüz'') or Uysun horde covers territories of southern and southeastern Kazakhstan, northwestern China (Xinjiang) and parts of Uzbekistan. *The Middle zhuz ((カザフ語:''Орта жүз'') ''Orta jüz'') or Argyn horde consists of six tribes, covering central and eastern Kazakhstan *The Junior zhuz (also ''Lesser zhuz'', (カザフ語:''Кіші жүз'') ''Kişi jüz'') or Alshyn horde consists of three tribes, covering western Kazakhstan. ==History == The earliest mention of the Kazakh ''jüz'' or hordes dates to the 17th century. Velyaminov-Zernov (1919) believed that the division arose as a result of the capture of the important cities of Tashkent, Yasi, and Sayram in 1598.〔Velyaminov-Zernov, "Russia, Mongolia, China in the 16th, 17th, and early 18th centuries". Vol II. Baddeley (1919, MacMillan, London).

Yuri Zuev argued their territorial division comprises three ecological or topographic zones, the Greater zhuz of the southern and southeastern steppe being set apart from the two other zones by Lake Balkhash. According to Kazakh legends, the three ''jüz'' were the territorial inheritances of the three sons of the mythical founder father of the Kazakhs. In Kazakh language, ''jüz'' means either "union" or "hundred". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zhuz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
