Editing Wusun (section)

==Economy==
According to the ''Shiji'' (c.&nbsp;123) and the ''Book of Han'' (c.&nbsp;96), [[Princess Xijun|Liu Xijun]], a daughter of the Han prince Liu Jian, was sent to the ruler (kunmi or kunmo) of the Wusun between 110&nbsp;BC and 105&nbsp;BC. She describes them as nomads who lived in [[Yurt|felt tents]], ate [[raw meat]] and drank [[Kumis|fermented mare's milk]].<ref>[http://zh.wikisource.org/wiki/%E6%BC%A2%E6%9B%B8/%E5%8D%B7096%E4%B8%8B Hanshu  《漢書·卷九十六下》 ]  西域傳 '''Original text:''' 昆莫年老，言語不通，公主悲愁，自為作歌曰：「吾家嫁我兮天一方，遠托異國兮烏孫王。穹廬為室兮旃為牆，以肉為食兮酪為漿。居常土思兮心內傷，願為黃鵠兮歸故鄉。」</ref> Some early Chinese descriptions of the people were pejorative, describing them as "bad, greedy and unreliable, and much given to robbery", but their state was also described as very strong.<ref>Hanshu, '''Original text:''' 民剛惡，貪狼無信，多寇盜，最為強國。</ref> However, the Wusun were also noted for their harmony towards their neighbours, even though they were constantly raided by the Xiongnu and Kangju.

The principal activity of the Wusun was cattle-raising, but they also practiced [[agriculture]]. Since the climate of Zhetysu and Dzungaria did not allow constant wandering, they probably wandered with each change of season in the search of pasture and water. Numerous archaeological finds have found querns and agricultural implements and bones of domesticated animals, suggesting a semi-nomadic [[pastoral]] economy.<ref name="Zadneprovskiy"/>
