This condition that progressed with Emperor Siun (452-265), later on totally speed up and prepared the basis for the Chinesiation of the Tabgaç population. In 493, Emperor Hong (471-499) transferred the capital from the steppe region to Lo-yang, the old China's center and he prohibited Turkish traditions, habits and customs, Tabgaç's language and the use of Turkish expressions in the correspondences in the year of 495. The reactions against this, that had last for a quarter century had been suppressed.

Through the year of 520, Chinese Buddhist priest who visited Mihiragula, the king of Ak-Huns in India, was travelling by this empress' wishes.
