The Juan Juan subdued modern regions of Xinjiang, Mongolia, Central Asia and parts of Siberia and Manchuria since late 4th century. Their frequent intervention and invasions had profoundly affected neighboring countries although its power was broken by a newer alliance of Gokturks, the Chinese Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties and tribes in Central Asia in 560s. The Chinese Northern Wei DynastyThe Northern Wei Dynasty ( 386- 534) is most noted for the unification of northern China in 440, it was also heavily involved in funding the arts and many antiques and art works from this period have survived. In 493 AD the dynasty moved its capital from, for instance, had established six major garrisons bordering the Juan Juan, which later became the foci of native Xianbei uprising against sinicizedSinicization or less commonly Sinification is to make things Chinese.

Nonetheless according to the story that the Uar (original source & chinese character missing), one of the tribes under this confederacy, was placed at the head of the Uighurs in 460, an element of the European Avars may have been, at least for a little while, a small part of the Juan Juan confederacy.
