The Protectorate General to Pacify the West, Grand Protectorate General to Pacify the West, or Anxi Protectorate (640–790) was a Chinese outpost established by Tang Dynasty in 640 to control the regions of Tian Shan, the Pamir Mountains and the Tarim Basin.[1] The head office was first established at the Chinese prefecture Xizhou, but was later shifted to Kucha and situated there for most of the period.[2] The Four Garrisons of Anxi were later installed to consort the military government.
