Then the Mainlandtrend, caused by many factors, appeared in the political, economic, cultural and otherareas on different degrees.This trend fastened the development of Xin jiang on many aspects, such asagricultural, commerce, culture, and so on. On the contrary, these developments couldimprove the trend to go further.The government of Qing Dynasty menaged Xin jiang on the precondition ofcentralism with multifarious methods in accordance with local conditions caused by thedifference on politics, economy and custom.
