Evidence has already been cited to show that in the middle of the 5th century the Türks manufactured iron implements within Juan-juan boundaries. A century later, A-na-kui’s disdainful reference to such an occupation is said to have triggered the Türk revolt which, within a few years, led to the disintegration of the Juan-juan empire.
