The Yuezhi or Rouzhi (Chinese: 月氏; pinyin: Yuèzhī) were an ancient Indo-European people often identified with the Tókharoi (Τοχάριοι) of Classical sources. They were originally settled in the arid grasslands of the eastern Tarim Basin area in what is today Xinjiang and western Gansu in China before they migrated to Transoxiana Bactria and then northern South Asia where one branch of the Yuezhi founded the Kushan Empire.
