Manicheism,Buddhism and Islam were popular at that time,but the Islam defeated the Buddhism at last.In the 400 years'existence of the dynasty,uyghurs' thought made a conflict with the local aborigines' thought until they mixed together.At last,it produced the Tujue and Islam culture.This type of culture was made up with the culture items of uyghur and the essence of Persian and Arabic culture,which is a new type of culture impressed deeply on the Qara Khanid.Islam defeated the Buddhism and became the main religion and became the national religion in AC 960.Since then,Islam ethics made up with the center thought of the Qara Khanid's people.With the impact of it,the national religion ethics developed well.As the representative,the Koran,the Kutadgu Bilig,Divan Igat at-Turk and Atebetu' IHakajiq are the model books.It produced many books showing the Qara Khanid ethnic religion ethic thoughts.This essay mainly applies literature research method,comparative analysis method and
