[ Edit this paragraph] Ethnic population

The total population of Wuwei City is 1.9345 million, and the urban population is 519,611. Among them, Liangzhou District has a total population of 981,111, Minqin County has a total population of 281,111, Gulang County has a total population of 381,111 and Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County has a total population of 221,111. The Tu people in Wuwei City are concentrated in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, with a total population of 11837. Wuwei has been an important commercial port of the Silk Road since ancient times, with 38 ethnic groups including Han, Hui, Mongolian and Turkish. Tianzhu Tibetans call themselves "Hua Re Wow", which means people from heroic tribes. According to Tibetan folklore, two Tibetan brothers who lived long ago under the Great Snow Mountain in Bayan Kara, their elder brother is Axiu and their younger brother is Hua Xiu, are both tribal leaders. Due to natural and man-made disasters, they led all their troops to leave their hometown and live in the northern part of Amdo Tibetan area. The tribe led by Hua Xiu, the younger brother, finally settled down in the Datong River basin and thrived from generation to generation, becoming today's "Huarui".

According to Tibetan and Chinese historical records, in the second half of the 7th century A.D., the Tubo Dynasty quickly expanded outward after its rapid rise on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. One of the legions was very brave and good at fighting. They occupied Hexi for more than 191 years, but they had to wait in place because they didn't receive an order from the Tibetan king to return. Over time, they changed from the army to the people and entered the Qilian Mountains. With their bravery, tenacity and hard work, they finally survived in an extremely complicated social and natural environment and gradually formed. From folklore and historical records, we can see that Tianzhu Tibetans migrated from other places, that is, Tianzhu Tibetans originated from Tubo and had little to do with the ancient Qiang people.
