Chinaz

Early Medieval Period

Chinannichet was formed in the early Middle Ages and symbolized the intensification of trade relations with the steppe peoples and the center of the western Kaganate. It is not by chance that in the middle of the Parak valley, at the contact of the oasis and the steppe zone, there is a knot of 6 cities, one of which, the site of ancient settlement Ming-Uruk becomes the new capital of ownership. The quantitative growth of the cities of the Chach oasis, their topographic distribution are due to factors of economic and socio-political development. The largest line of urban sites is drawn along the coast of Yaksart (Syrdarya). Among them an important role was played by the cities at the crossing over the Yaksart-Banoket (Shakhrukhia) and Chinanniket (Chinaz) .

The emergence of a fortified city here dates back to the 6th — 7th centuries, and it flourished in the 11th – 12th centuries, when the city spread over an area of ​​40 hectares. In the Samanid era , the importance of the northern route from Sogd to Shash increased. A 24-hectare square fortress was opened, covering the crossing over the Chirchik river to Chinachket. The ruins of the last city lie on the shore of Chirchik in a. Chinaz

In the 1960s, a treasure of silver coins of the 9th and 11th centuries was delivered to the State Museum of History of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan. from Chinaz, which includes many of their types and variants from a number of regions of Central Asia, which testifies to the developed trade relations during this period. The total weight of the treasure is 12.5 kg.

Studies have shown that during the reign of the Karakhanids, dirhams were issued for a short time on the territory of modern Chinaz, but the name of the mint was given to them otherwise Chinancicet. This city is also known as handwritten sources.

Chinaz in the Middle Ages was a city where caravans stopped before crossing to the other side of the Syr Darya, it also served as a place of trade exchange and as a handicraft center. In Chinachet the former name of Chinaz was concentrated military garrisons.

Here is how Chinachket Yu.F. Buryakov in his book "CITY CULTURE OF THE TASHKENT OASIS OF POROUS EARLY THEODALISM:" Cities here grow as points of crossings and stops for caravans, trade exchanges, and as craft centers and centers of garrisons. These are Chinachket, Dunfegaket, Banunket, Madina Chach, Nujket, Jabguket, Hatunket. All these features are captured in the topography and in the structure of cities. Along with the fortresses (Nudzhket, Jabguket, Kukhim), typical medieval cities with a citadel, a shahristan, a developing handicraft suburb (Madina Chacha, Tunket, Tukket, Dunfeganket), cities with vast areas for cattle driven from the steppes and stopping places of nomads (Chichachkatk) are formed. , poorly developed foothill exchange points (Farnket, Ardalanket)

The period of conquest by Tsarist Russia

The village of New Chinaz was founded on April 4, 1866 by the post of military governor of the Turkestan Region, Major General Romanovsky.

Report on the erection of fortifications "by I. D. of the military governor of the Turk. Region. To the commander of the troops. Orenb. Okr .; April 4, 1866 No. 370. (Mark:" received. April 25, 1866 ")

Wishing to take advantage of the present collection of our troops and not lose a convenient time for work, I found it useful to transfer the Ukrainian. Chinaz to another place, to the right bank of the Syr-Darya at the confluence of the Chirchik River. The inconvenience of the location of Old Chinaz according to the construction of its wrecks, the lack of water inside the fortress and the unhealthy air caused me to transfer the fortifications, since on the east side there are swamps that give evaporations, which are very harmful to the health of the garrison, causing fever and t . n. disease. The place of the new point for reinforcement is important in the sense that it can freely fire on all the present terrain on the right and left side of Darya, and also because there is only one on the river for firing shots. Chirchik ford, possible to cross at any time of year. The proximity of the point to Daria is a good and completely safe parking for our steamers, which is also of no small importance, because for 800 miles along Darya, starting from Ukrainian. Julek, the steamers have no safe parking. "

Until the end of the 18th century, tigers were found in the vicinity of Chinaz, as evidenced by the notes of historians of that time.

In particular, in the text in the book "Memoirs" by the author V.A. Poltoratsky traveled in 1871 in this region states the following:

"I must say that already during my personal stay in Turkestan, here and it was in Chinaz that two unusual occurrences of the tiger in the city itself. Both in the past and this year (1871) in broad daylight, and most remarkable, both times on a passionate Thursday, huge tigers drove onto the square of the fortress, sweated by people on empty, surrounded by stone walls fenced yards, where they were killed by choke bullets of soldiers who had run away in alarm. , disfigured 7 people, and the current - 11, of whom more than half died in the local hospital.The effigy of the magnificent skin of the last tiger, of enormous volume and excellent dressing, has already been painted on the lower terrace of the governor-general's dacha and I don’t know how it is on others but on me, when I saw her for the first time, she, that is, the tiger, produced, - there is nothing to conceal, - far from the most pleasant impressions ...
