Abstract: Tubo first invaded Tuguhui state of Tang Dynasty and the important military town of Songzhou in 640 AD,and in the following 23 years,to 763 AD,Tubo occupied the west part of what is now called Gansu province and Qinghai province,the east part of Yellow River and part of Xinjiang province by military force.No other minorities were powerful enough to compete with Tubo.Such minorities as Tuguhui,Tujue,Huihu,Shatuo,Dangxiang,Nanzhao and others,together with Han people,in west part of China were forced to leave their hometown for places far away from Tubo in order to avoid Tubo's suppression and had a very hard life,thus resulting in wide national migration.With further national migration,minorities and Han people greatly influenced each other in every aspect like culture,economy,politics etc.,which is an objective law of realizing national unification.The national migration at that time had great influences on the distribution of minorities in west part of China after Song dynasty.
