Abstract: The Monument for Building Qarqi Canal was engraved in the sixth year of Guangxu’s reign in the Qing Dynasty (1880). This inscription made a detailed record of the event when the Qing army expelled the invading army of Mohammad Yaqub Beg, whenever the Qing army regained a place, it immediately started recruiting exiled people, restoring agriculture, building water conservancy and did other rehabilitation works. The army of the Qing Dynasty successively established rehabilitation bureaus in various parts of southern Xinjiang to be responsible for the rehabilitation works. These once again set off a climax in the development of water conservancy in multi-ethnic areas in Xinjiang, and laid the foundation for the rapid development of agricultural development and water conservancy in Xinjiang during the Guangxu’s reign.
