The Gushi culture (Chinese: 姑師文化; pinyin: Gūshī wénhuà), aka Jushi culture (Chinese: 車師文化; pinyin: Jūshī wénhuà), were an ancient culture around the Turpan basin, in what is today the Xinjiang region of China.

The area around Ayding Lake in the Turpan region was said to be the territory of the Gushi people. According to historical accounts, these people "lived in tents, followed the grasses and waters, and had considerable knowledge of agriculture. They owned cattle, horses, camels sheep and goats. There were proficient with bows and arrows". The Gushi and the kingdom of Kroran were linked in the account of Zhang Qian, presuamably because they were under the control of the Xiongnu. In the years around 60 BC, Gushi fell to the Chinese after the Battle of Jushi and was subsequently known as Jushi.

The Yanghai Tombs, a vast ancient cemetery (54 000 m²) attributed to this culture, have revealed the 2700-year-old grave of a shaman. Near the head and foot of the shaman laid a large leather basket and wooden bowl filled with 789g of cannabis, superbly preserved by climatic and burial conditions. An international team demonstrated that this material contained tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive component of cannabis. The cannabis was presumably employed by this culture as a medicinal or psychoactive agent, or an aid to divination. This is the oldest documentation of cannabis as a pharmacologically active agent.
