Qibi tribe (Chinese: 契苾 ~ 契弊; Middle Chinese: *kʲiei-pɪ̯et;[1] Saka: Kāribari[2]) was a Turkic tribe and a part of Tiele confederation, then Toquz Oghuz and later Uyghur Khaganate.
According to the epigraphy of Qibi Song (契苾嵩), a Tiele general in the service of the Tang dynasty (730), the origins of the Qibi can be traced to the Khangai Mountains prior to their presence in the Bogda Mountains during the 6th century.
[3] In early Tang period, they lived in Yingsuo Prefecture (modern Yanqi 焉耆, Xinjiang).
In the east they were put under the rule of a tudun (吐屯) named Ashina Hubo (阿史那斛勃), who became known as the Chebi Khagan.
A member of the tribe, Qibi Zhang (契苾璋) was the military governor of Zhenwu Circuit (振武, headquartered in modern Hohhot, Inner Mongolia) from 881 to 882.
