This inscription was his attempt to unite the Turkish people under a unified empire and maintain that empire afterwards. One claim that points to Bilge attempting to do this is with his relationship with the Chinese.

When they built the Hagia Sophia many new architectural techniques and combinations of techniques were used that the Romans had never dreamed of. They made a spherical shaped dome which helped to support more of the building’s weight and required less material than previous Roman architecture. (Document 4). Also, the Roman Empire had so much violence with emperors constantly fighting over power that they would not have been able to advance their skills in such a way to create something like the Hagia Sophia. Also the Romans traded for silk at expensive prices from Persia and China, but the Byzantines thought to learn how to make the silk from the Persians so that they could make it themselves.
In Newborn Sex Selection and India's Overpopulation Problem, the author Hrishikesh D. Vinod takes the population control experience in China for India’s reference. India is now considering different kinds of population control policies, including the Chinese one child policy. Yet, many scholars suggest that they should not take one child policy to consideration; that is, similarly to China, India also has the tradition of valuing male over female. If the country is adopting the one child policy, the country will be facing the expansion of gender inequality: newborn sex selection, causing countless of abandoned female newborns and imbalance sex ration, just exactly like the issue China is facing now. Many western scholars, including Nie and Vinod, have agreed that one child policy is at least a social planning failure, and therefore India should not walk on China’s old

The technological achievement was a stunning. [17] The massive spending on the Grand Canal (and rebuilding the Great Wall of China and many other places) didn’t endear the Sui to its people, the dynasty collapsed in 619. This was wonderful news for the Tang Dynasty succeeding because it couldn’t be blamed for high costs, but benefited from the revenues of the new canal [18].
The Ming Family ruled the dynasty between the years of 1368-1644; almost three hundred years later this dynasty has impacted the Chinese history so much. The Ming Dynasty was a strong empire they had the government, the strength of its military, and the economic system to back it. With the memory of the Mongols, the Ming was determined to protect their lands from the invasions.
This paper thus aims mainly at providing evidence to the above stated hypothesis as well as discussing the historical Chinese cultural beliefs that have for a long time caused stigmatization to the people who get these marks on their skin. To begin with, the Chinese language and symbols are widely used in the tattoo industry. This is apparent because of its ability to convey bigger messages in a small symbol representation. However this practice is not that common, at least until the last decade because of the historical perspectives.
In fact, the Chinese were more interested in overpowering the Xiongnu by forming alliances with other nations (Whitfield 19). Their initial motivation was to make an alliance with the Yuezhi people, who had once been mistreated by the Xiongnu.
