 Benjamin - The Migration of the Yueji through Sogdia - Transoxiana Eran ud Aneran   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
It is references to Kangar in the Han Shu and Shi Ji (and by Ptolemy in his Geographica), as well as the discoveries of archaeologists, which provided evidence identifying Kangar with the Sogdia, and thus of the role of Sogdia in both the migration of the Kushans and the mission of Zhang Qian.
Despite the fact that the ruling dynasty of Kangar was probably of a militarized, semi-nomadic ancestry, the bulk of the population was surely sedentised agriculturists.
Kangar acknowledged nominal sovereignty (or was subservient) to both the Huns and the Kushan; they also assisted the Chinese by helping (or at least not impeding) Zhang Qian in his attempt to locate Kushan and subsequently even sent a 'royal' son as envoy to the Han Court during the reign of Emperor Zheng.
