甘肃概况
各位团友大家好，很高兴我能担任本次之旅的导游员，我姓孙，你
们可以叫我小孙，希望我们相处的开心，也希望各位团友玩的开心，吃得舒心。接下来我为大家简单地介绍一下甘肃概况，大家知道“甘肃”一词是怎么来的吗？现在由我为大家一一道来。
甘肃”一词来自元代成立的甘肃行省。其实，“甘肃”一词是在西夏时
出现的。西夏立国后，在河西走廊西部地区设立了军事指挥机——
甘肃军司。1028年，党项族占领河西，张掖遂为西夏统治，西夏人
在甘州设立了甘肃军司、镇夷郡、宣化府。在甘州成立了“甘肃军司”，统领兵力达3万余人，负责镇夷、番禾(酒泉，也就是肃州)两郡，包括宣化、西凉两府的防务，其重点是保卫河西走廊中部地区
的安全。之所以把今天甘肃河西走廊地区称之为甘肃，是因为甘肃
军司所管辖的两个重要的地区甘州和肃州二州，故此人们取甘州
（今张掖）、肃州（今酒泉）两个州的首字而命名为“甘肃”。
今天的甘肃省共设兰州、天水、白银、金昌、嘉峪关、武威6个地
级市，临夏、甘南2个自治州，庆阳、平凉、陇南、定西、张掖、
酒泉6个地区；共有8个县级市、60个县、7个民族自治县、12个
市辖区。
民共和国接壤。
甘肃地貌复杂多样，山地、高原、平川、河谷、沙漠、戈壁，类型
齐全，交错分布，地势自西南向东北倾斜。全省总土地面积45.4万
平方公里，占全国总土地面积的4.72%，居全国第7位。地形呈狭
长状，东西长1655公里，南北宽530公里，边界线长为8700公里，最窄处仅有25公里。山地和高原约占全省总土地面积的70%以上；
西北部的大片戈壁和沙漠，约占14.99%。复杂的地貌形态，大致可
分为各具特色的六大地形区域：
甘肃自古以来就是个多民族聚居的省份。据2009年人口普查统计，全省总人口为2635.46万人，
居本省人口在千人以上的有回、藏、东乡、土、裕固、保安、蒙古、撒拉、哈克满等10个民族，此外还有30个少数民族成份。东乡、
裕固、保安为3个特有少数民族。
从分布情况来看，回族主要聚居在临夏回族自治州和张家川回族自治县，散居在兰州、平凉、定西等地市；藏族主要聚居在甘南藏族
自治州和河西走廊祁连山的东、中段地区；东乡、保安、撒拉族主
要分布在临夏回族自治州境内；裕固、蒙古、哈萨克族主要分布在
河西走廊祁连山的中、西段地区。全省86个县、市、区中，除少数民族聚居的20个民族县、市外，其余66个县、市、区中均有散居的少数民族。
甘肃现有5种宗教：伊斯兰教、佛教、天主教、基督教、道教。其中伊斯兰教和藏传佛教信仰的人口较多。信仰伊斯兰教的的民族主
要是回族、东乡族、撒拉族、保安族、哈萨克族；信仰藏传佛教的
民族有藏族、蒙古族、土族、裕固族。天主教、基督教、道教在各
民族中都有信仰，但人数不多。
甘肃不仅历史悠久而去文化博大精深。甘肃是中华民族文化的发祥地。轩辕黄帝诞生于甘肃，西王母降凡与泾川回中山，周秦先祖发
源于泾渭河谷，天下李氏根祖陇西。
由于甘肃地理位置的特殊性自古就是汉文化和兄弟文化，中原文化与西域文化的交汇地。河西走廊是丝绸之路的重要路段，丝绸之路
文化在甘肃遗存最多而且珍贵。由此甘肃的石窟文化璀璨闪烁，最
让我们引以为豪的是敦煌莫高窟，麦积山石窟。
甘肃的文化丰富且多样，有石窟文化，彩陶文化，长城文化，伏羲文化等等，甘肃之旅会给你一个“惊心”的旅程，让你感受甘肃的魅力，让你不虚此行。
肚子饿了想吃撒？可多了！兰州的牛肉面，张掖的小饭，天水的瓜瓜，白银静宁的烧鸡，靖远的羊羔肉，定西岷县的点心，平凉的羊
肉泡馍，每走一处都有惊喜，诸多的美食让你大饱口福。今天我的讲解就到这里，愿大家玩的开心！

1. a survey of gansu(甘肃概况)
gansu lies in the heart of china. it has a total area of about 455,000 square kilometers and a population of 20.41 million.
lanzhou, the capital of gansu, is the geographical center of china. the distance from lanzhou to the eastern boundary of china is almost the same as that to the western. the outline of gansu is shaped liked a dumbbell. it is very long from east to west (1655km); but, at the narrowest place, the north-south distance is only 25km; the “hexi corridor”(more than
1,000kilometers long) in gansu has long been known as the major artery of east-to-west communications in china. in the past, its important geographical position made gansu a key junction in ancient silk road; today, gansu is the strategic passage in the modern silk road-the “urasian bridge” and a
link and supporting base in the developing the whole of northwestern china.
roll on mighty rivers, rich in hydropower resources.（大河奔流，水力充沛）
“the yellow river comes from the heavens” wrote li bai, a famous poet of the tang dynasty of ancient china. gansu is on the upper reaches of the yellow river which traverses 486 kilometers through the province, where the river experiences a precipitous(险峻的) drop in elevation. the yellow river and other rivers provide gansu with abundant waterpower resources.
large hydropower stations are dotted here and there like bright stars, the most famous of which are at liujiaxia, yanguoxia, and bapanxia. they produce electrical power day and night for the development of gansu’s economy. the estimated potential power generated by these resources is 14.26 million kw. up to now, 2.10 million kw of power has been developed. there are many favourable conditions for waterpower development such as good geological structure, less inundation, convenient transportation, comparatively low investment costs, and
shorter time for return on the investment.
grand plateaus(高原) and mountains rich in mineral
resources(高原雄伟，深山藏宝)
gansu’s great plateaus and mountains have plentiful mineral resources. these treasure are widely spread over the province
in large quantities of high grade and good quality. the mining conditions are also favorable.
coal mines are mainly located in huating, jinyuan, and lanzhou. the huating area coal deposit is estimated at 3,200 million tons,
which makes up more than half of the provincial total resources. most of the coal in these areas is high quality, long-flame coal with low sulphus(硫磺) low ash content, low
viscosity（粘性）, and high caloric value.
petroleum resources are chiefly distributed in the changqing and yumen oilfields.
jinchuan, a newly developed industrial city, is about 380 km northwest of lanzhou. it is called the “nickel capital of china”. the nickel deposits in jinchuan are second only to a similar
mine in canada. besides nickel, jinchuan is also rich in copper, cobalt, uranium, gold, silver, iron, aluminum, lead（铅）, antimony（镁）, fluorite gypsum, asbestos, quartzite, marble, and dolomite. some other mining products common in gansu are cement rock, gypsum(石膏), marble, sulphurous iron ore(as a chemical material), serpentine and mirabilite（米拉比来铝合金）(as fertilizer production materials), iron ores, and magnesite (as metallurgical materials).
prosperous agriculture forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries……
in gansu’s vast (454,000 square kilometers),there are diverse topographical features such as
river valleys, hills, plains, grasslands, and deserts. these features, together with various climatic and soil conditions,
can meet the manifold needs for the development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries, and farming. besides, food products such as wheat, corn, kaoliang(chinese sorghum), potatoes, broom corn millet and various vegetables, gansu, has many native products which have their own unique qualities and enjoy a good reputation all over the world.
culture and religion
gansu has a long history. in ancient times, especially in the
han and tang dynasties, gansu, as an important passageway, made great contributions to the cultural exchange and commercial trade between china and western countries. along the silk road can still be seen many ancient grottoes,
structures and other historic or cultural relics. up to now, more than one thousand such relics have been found belonging to different historic periods.
religion was an important part of ancient cultural exchanges. after it was introduced into ancient china, buddhism(佛教) quickly permeated chinese philosophy, linguistics, art and other social and cultural fields. buddhism, taoism(one of the chief religions of old china) and confucianism (孔教/儒教) influenced each other. as a result, buddhism with distinctive chinese features was formed and, in turn, spread out together with chinese culture. aritists throughout the ages tried their best to depict with their consummate skill the basic ideas of buddhism, which could be summed up in the fo llowing “four noble truths”: 1.suffering exists everywhere; 2.the cause of suffering is wrongly directed desire; 3.the cure is eliminating such desires; 4.this can only be done by following the “noble eightfold path” of right views, right motive, right spe ech, right acts, right livelihood, right effort, right concentration, right “samadhi” which leads to enlightenment. northern grottoes, southern grottoes, and especially, the mogao grottoes are all good examples depicting these basic ideas. it is these ancient sacred places of buddhism that form the distinguishing features and essence of today’s tourism in gansu.

lanzhou, october 2 (xinhua) -- it is hard to believe that in a remote village in northwest china western-looking chinese people stage ancient roman dances and military parades that theyve inherited from their ancestors.
but in the square of liqian village of yongchang county of gansu province, a dozen western-looking villagers -- suited in armor and carrying shields -- demonstrated a rare fish scale-shaped formation.
the formation, local villagers said, has evolved from the military alignments of an ancient roman army and is flexible enough to both attack and defend.
it is amazing to see the merging of two great ancient cultures in this remote village, said pamela mccourt francescone, a visitor from italy.
with deep-set green eyes and a long, hooked nose, luo ying, the 35-year-old lead performer, has a european look. his fellow villagers nicknamed him roman prince.
i believe that i am somewhat related to the ancient romans, said luo.
situated along the silk road, a 7,000-km-long trade route that linked asia and europe more than 2,000 years ago, the village stepped into the spotlight in the 1990s when archeologists found the remains of an ancient fort and a crowd of western-looking people there.
dna tests in 2005 confirmed that some of the villagers are indeed of foreign origin, leading many experts to conclude they are the descendants of the ancient roman army headed by general marcus crassus.
in 53 b.c., crassus was defeated and beheaded by the parthians, a tribe that occupied what is now iran, putting an end to romes eastward expansion.
but a 6,000-strong army led by crassuss eldest son apparently escaped and were never found again.
though some anthropologists are convinced the foreign-looking villagers in yongchang county are the descendants of the ancient army, others are not so certain.
in november 2010, the italian studies center was jointly established by china and italy at lanzhou university in gansu. one of its research programs focuses on the early descendants of the ancient roman army in china.
professor yuan honggeng, head of the center, said they hope to prove the theory by digging to uncover more evidence of chinas early contact with the roman empire along the silk road. we hope to uavel the mystery of the lost roman legions, said yuan.
various research projects are being conducted, and local residents are not hesitant to show pride in their unusual bloodline, especially as they have tried for decades to shake
off poverty caused by long-lingering drought and the villages remote geographical position.
in 1999, the village, previously named zhelaizhai, renamed itself liqian. according to chinas historical records, liqian was how the ancient chinese addressed the roman empire.
the remains of the fort are currently surrounded by iron chains.
a monument has been erected beside the remains to tell its history, and a recently constructed roman-style pavilion
stands near the monument.
in august 2010, a new complex built in the style of roman architecture was established to cater to
