A people that once was part of the Chuyue 處月 tribe of the Western Turks 西突厥, living in the Junggar Basin 準噶爾盆地. The Tang Dynasty 唐 bestowed the Shato chieftain "Jinshan" 金山 the title of commander-in-chief (dudu 都督) of Jinman 金滿, with the seat of the area command shifted to Beiting 北庭. From the 8th century on this area was often rided by Uighur (Huigu 回鶻) warriors, later the Shatuo communities under their chieftains "Fuguo" 輔國 and "Zhuye Jinzhong" 朱邪盡忠 were disturbed by the Tibetian empire of Tubo 吐蕃 that resettled the Shatuo Turks to the Gansu Corridor 甘肅走廊. Seeking for help from the Tang Dynasty, the people under their chieftain "Zhuye Zhiyi 朱邪執宜" was settled down in the area of Yanzhou 鹽州 (modern Dingbian 定邊/Shaanxi) as area command of Yinshan 陰山. The military power of the Shatuo Turks often served the Tang Dynasty to control the Tibetians, Tanguts (Dangxiang 黨項), Tuyuhun 吐谷渾 and Uighurs further west. Under their ruler "Chixin" 赤心 the Shatuo Turks even helped to suppress a rebellion against the Tang. "Chixin" was bestowed the imperial Chinese name of Li Guochang 李國昌. His son Li Keyong 李克用 was able to gain control over the Tatars (Dada 韃靼) and liberated the capital of Chang'an 長安 (modern Xi'an/Shaanxi) from the Huangchao rebels 黃巢 in 883. He was given the office of military commisisoner (jiedushi 節度使) of Hedong 河東 and from now on controled the northwestern part of China proper, contending with Zhu Wen 朱溫 about the control of the north. Zhu Wen ended the Tang Dynasty in 907 and founded the Later Liang (Houliang 後梁), a dynasty that was toppled in 923 by Li Cunxu 李存勖, a son of Li Keyong. The founders of Later Tang (Houtang 後唐, 923-936), Later Jin (Houjin 後晉, 936-946) and Later Han dynasties (Houhan 後漢, 947-950) were also Shatuo Turks.
