Shingqo Sheli Tutung

Shingqo Sheli Tutung or Šéŋko Šeli Tutuŋ (Old Uyghur: 𐽿𐽶𐽺𐽲𐾄𐽳 𐽿𐽰𐾁𐽶 𐾀𐽳𐾀𐽳𐽺𐽷, 勝光闍梨都統 (ɕɨŋ kwɑŋ d͡ʑia liɪ tuo tʰuoŋ^H)), also known by his Chinese name Master Shengguang (Chinese: 胜光法师; pinyin: Shèngguāng Fǎshī) was an Uyghur scholar, translator and poet lived in 11th-12th centuries.^[1]

Born in Beshbalik, he was a Buddhist. He is mostly regarded as an Uyghur, but Takao Moriyasu argued that he could be Chinese as well.^[2] Klaus Röhrborn believed that he was not only a translator, but a Chinese head of a group of Uyghur translators who worked on Buddhist texts.^[3] He was also described as a poet^[4] since he translated original Chinese poems creatively, without limiting himself with literal translation.^[5] He is also described as well-versed in kāvya style.^[6]
