This article focuses on the research achievements of Bennigsen on the Central Asian ethnic groups, tracks the theoretical framework of his academic research, and based on this, provides a review of his research on the Central Asian ethnic groups. After decades of academic development, Ben's research on Central Asian ethnic groups has developed into an ethnology that integrates historical issues, social investigations, and religious issues.
