The Sijie were one of the nine Tiele tribes of the Toquz Oghuz confederation.[1]
Little more is recorded of them separately. The same holds for the nine in general. The sources name the confederation often and its members rarely. Most of what is known of any one tribe comes from a Tang officer who happened to be born into it.
