The Chinese added the name Tujue to the names of several Turkic peoples in history. The most well known of these are the Qarluqs (Geluolu Tujue), the Khazars (Hesa Tujue) and the Shatuo Tujue.
What I want to know that why these peoples were called in this way? To indicate that these peoples were ethnicially the same with the original Blue Turk (Tujue) people? No. Because the Khazars were living there before the Tujue arrived. To indicate that these people lived under Tujue rule? Then why weren't the Toquz Oghuz, Qïrghïz and other subjects of the Blue Turks weren't called this way?
Someone please enlighten us
