In 1219, as Chinggis Qan and his sons swept across the heart of Central Asia leaving much destruction in their wake, one of the prisoners they brought back with them to Mongolia was a young boy from Bukhara. Sayyid 'Ajall Shams al-Din (Saidianchi) was the name of the young boy and he was to become one of the most important military and administrative leaders in the Yuan dynasty, the first civilian governor of the province of Yunnan, and one of the most influential individuals in the history of Islam in China.

520 $a In 1219, as Chinggis Qan and his sons swept across the heart of Central Asia leaving much destruction in their wake, one of the prisoners they brought back with them to Mongolia was a young boy from Bukhara. Sayyid 'Ajall Shams al-Din (Saidianchi) was the name of the young boy and he was to become one of the most important military and administrative leaders in the Yuan dynasty, the first civilian governor of the province of Yunnan, and one of the most influential individuals in the history of Islam in China.
520 $a The story of the life of Sayyid 'Ajall is a fascinating combination of fact and folklore. He is considered an almost mythical character by both the Muslims of China and the indigenous population of Yunnan. His extensive service under the Mongols was characterized by his extraordinarily humanitarian approach to governing. In addition, during his tenure as governor of Yunnan, he showed an unprecedented commitment to improving the lives of the local peoples. Although the sources on Sayyid 'Ajall are limited, there is still enough information on this man for us to realize that by studying it we can add much to our knowledge of the following subjects: the history of Islam in China, the history of Yunnan province and the indigenous people of southwest China, Yuan governance in China and the use of foreigners, and finally, Yuan historiography and the subtle but pervasive influence of Chinese-Confucian culture on the historians who set about writing the history of the Yuan dynasty.
