Abstract:

The Chinese word“坎儿井” is not only the name of the ancient and unique irrigation project in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China, but also a modern Chinese word which has been included by some professional dictionaries or Chinese dictionaries. As a foreign word borrowed from the Uygur language “, kariz”, the Chinese word “坎儿井” is not only lack of initial documentary evidence, but also not unique in word construction, incorrect in structure, incorrect in transliteration, and inaccurate in meaning.

Key words: 坎儿井, irrigation, transliteration
