A Brief Introduction to Liangzhou

凉州有悠久的历史、灿烂的文化。公元前121年，汉武帝派骠骑将军霍去病征服河西，为显示汉军的武功军威而设置的“凉州郡”，从此得名。三国时设置凉州，成为全国十三州之一。Liangzhou has a long history and splendid culture. In 121 BC,Emperor Wu of Han appointed Huo Qubing, General of Agile Cavalry, to conquer Hexi. The general beat Hun Successfully. In order to show the powers of Han army, the then government set up Wuwei County here as Wuwei means being magnificent and mighty in Chinese. From then on,the dynasties that followed set up their ruling departments here. During the Three Kingdoms,the Province of Liangzhou was set up,which was one of the 13 provinces at that time.东晋十六国时期，前凉、后凉、南凉、北凉先后在这里建都，创造了史不绝书的“五凉文化”。宋朝时期，这里是西夏国的“陪都”。元代成吉思汗之子与西藏宗教领袖萨班在这里举行了著名的“凉州会盟”，完成了西藏回归祖国的统一大业。1983年，凉州出土的国宝级文物“马踏飞燕”被国家旅游局确定为中国旅游标志。1986年凉州被国务院公布为中国历史文化名城。2002年7月原武威市改为凉州区。在2006年1月全国旅游工作会议上，我市被命名为“中国优秀旅游城市”。

During the periods of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and 16 countries, Qianliang, Houliang, Nanliang, Beiliang set Wuwei as the place of their capitals in succession, which created continuous Five Liang culture in history. In Song Dynasty, Liangzhou was served as the then assistant capital of Xixia kingdom. During the period of Yuan Dynasty, in Liangzhou, the son of Genghis Khan had Liangzhou reunification talks with the Tibetan religious leader Saban, which completed Tibet’s returning to her motherland.

In July ,2002, the former Wuwei city was transformed into Liangzhou region. In January , 2006 ,Liangzhou was announced as China's outstanding tourist city in the National Travel Working Meeting.

自汉开河西四郡之后，凉州就是西域文化和中原文化的交汇处，既有中原文化细腻奇巧、博大精深的神韵，又兼西域文化粗犷雄浑、富有创造的特点。Since The government of Han dynasty set up four counties in Hexi, Liangzhou has always been the junction of Western Regions culture and Central plains

culture, where bold and creative Western Regions culture integrates extensive and profound Central plains culture. As a consequence, a unique culture came into being.
