The Dingling (丁零) or Gaoche (高車), Chile (敕勒), Tiele (鐵勒) were an ancient
Siberian people. They originally lived on the bank of the
Lena River in the area west of
Lake Baikal and began to expand westward in the 3rd century. They were still around during the time of the
Xiongnu Empire. They appear under alternate names in historic records. It is not certain whether an earlier name for them existed, but they might have been correlated with the Guifang (鬼方), a northern tribe that appears in the
oracle bone inscriptions from
Yinxu during the
1st millennium BC.
