Mullā Mūsa Sayrāmī (, ; 1836–1917) was a historian from Xinjiang, known for his account of the events in that region in the 19th century, in particular the Dungan Rebellion of 1864-1877. While the ethnonym Uyghurs, with its modern meaning, was not yet used in Musa Sayrami's day,〔 he probably would be called an Uyghur if he lived a few decades later, based on his place of birth and the language of his literary works. ==Biography== Musa was originally from the village of Sayram, located northwest of Kuqa in what is today Baicheng County, Xinjiang.〔(МОЛЛА МУСА САЙРАМИ: "ТА'РИХ-И АМНИЙА" ) ((from ) Mulla Musa Sayrami's ''Tarikh-i amniyya''), in: "Материалы по истории казахских ханств XV-XVIII веков (Извлечения из персидских и тюркских сочинений)" (''Materials for the history of the Kazakh Khanates of the 15-18th cc. (Extracts from Persian and Turkic literary works)''), Alma Ata, Nauka Publishers, 1969. 〕 The place should not be confused with the larger city of the same name in Kazakhstan.〔Location of Sairam is shown on Map 1 in Kim (2004), before p. 1; it's 赛里木 (''Sailimu'') on modern Chinese maps.〕 In his youth he was sent to Kuqa to study at the madrassah of Mulla Osman Akhund. He became a close friend of one of his classmates, named Mahmudin (Muḥammad al-Dīn), a son of Burhān al-Dīn Khoja, an important member of the Khoja clan. Musa later referred to Mahmudin as "Khojam Padishah".〔 In the summer 1864, during the early days of the Dungan Rebellion in Xinjiang, Musa joined the army of the rebel Khoja Burhān al-Dīn when it passed through Sayram. Along with Burhan's son Mahmudin, Musa was among Burhan's rebels at Aksu and Uqturpan, and became Burhan's right-hand man there.〔(МОЛЛА МУСА САЙРАМИ: ТА'РИХ-И АМНИЙА ) (Mulla Musa Sayrami's ''Tarikh-i amniyya'': Preface)], in: "Материалы по истории казахских ханств XV-XVIII веков (Извлечения из персидских и тюркских сочинений)" (''Materials for the history of the Kazakh Khanates of the 15-18th cc. (Extracts from Persian and Turkic literary works)''), Alma Ata, Nauka Publishers, 1969. 〕 After the people of Uqturpan overthrew the Khojas in 1867, Musa Sayrami escorted the arrested Khojas to the headquarters of the new ruler of the region, Yaqub Beg. He then found a place for himself in Yaqub Beg's government apparatus, where he served under Mirza Baba Beg, the ''zakatchi'' (chief revenue officer) in Aksu.〔 Musa survived the death of Yaqub Beg's and the reconquest of Xinjiang by Zuo Zongtang's Qing armies in 1877. He lived the rest of his days in Aksu, writing and re-writing his ''Tarikh-i amniyya'',〔Kim (2004), pp. 194-195〕 which he completed in 1903. 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「Musa Sayrami」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
