About Xincheng
Kucha was an ancient Tocharian Buddhist kingdom located on the branch of the Silk Road that ran along the northern edge of what is now the Taklamakan Desert in the Tarim Basin and south of the Muzat River. The people of Kucha spoke Kuchean (also known as Tocharian B) and a local variant of Gandhārī Prakrit, known as Kucha Prakrit, was used by Kucha for official and administrative purposes, with evidence indicating that it remained in use until 6th century.
