Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1851:
The nine surnames of Zhaowu refer to the general term for the Sogdians or their descendants who came to the Central Plains from the Sogdian region in Central Asia during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, and Tang Dynasties. All of their kings used Zhaowu as their surname.
The nine surnames of Zhaowu were originally from Yueshi. In the early Han Dynasty, the Huns broke the Yue clan and forced them to move west. The Yue clan, whose hometown is Zhaowu in Hexi, modern Gansu, Linze Zhaowu and near Zhangye, fled westward, entered the Sogdian region of Central Asia, conquered the local indigenous people, and formed several city states.

However, because the subsequent Western Jin Dynasty was a short-lived ghost, the Central Plains was overwhelmed by the chaos and business was tepid.
In the Sui and Tang dynasties, thanks to the shining and open and inclusive imperial national policy of the famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, the Silk Road was given a new lease of life.
