Etymology
Script error: No such module "other uses". The name Kizilsu (also spelled Kezilesu, derived from Chinese pinyin[1][2]) refers to the Kezi River and means "red water" in the Kyrgyz language.[3] Kiziloy, Kizilto, and the Kizil Caves are nearby places that also use the prefix kizil (red).
History
Kizilsu was within the territory of the First East Turkestan Republic, which lasted from November 1933 to April 1934. The establishment of the short-lived breakaway state was thanks in part to a political and military alliance between Uyghurs and Kyrgyz in western Xinjiang.
The Southern Xinjiang Administrative Office of the People's Republic of China established the Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Region on 14 July 1954. The autonomous region was reorganised as an autonomous prefecture in February 1955.[4][5]
In 1955, the townships of Barin, Jamaterek, and Ujme were transferred from Yengisar County to Akto County, as was Bulungkol from Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Kashgar Prefecture.[6]
In April 1990, a protest in Barin against Chinese rule in Xinjiang escalated into an armed insurrection, in what came to be known as the Barin uprising or Barin riot.[7]
Subdivisions
Kizilsu directly administers 1 county-level city and 3 counties.
