Abstract

Both Chinese social sciences and Uyghur studies in China have neglected the Jadidist movement. This article examines the Jadidist movement. It explores how Jadidism emerged, developed and spread to the eastern regions of the Volga-Ural area and the Ottoman Empire, focusing particularly on its impact on Turkic-speaking communities. It emphasises that the movement represented a modernisation and renewal initiative for the Uyghurs and other Turkic-Islamic communities in Central Asia.

中国社会科学界与维吾尔学界均对哲迪特运动缺乏关注。本文旨在考察哲迪特运动，探究该思潮如何兴起、发展并向伏尔加-乌拉尔地区东部及奥斯曼帝国扩散，尤其着重分析其对突厥语族民族的影响。本文强调该运动代表着中亚维吾尔族及其他突厥-伊斯兰民族的现代化与革新实践。
