1. Baiyue

"Baiyue" is a general name for various ethnic groups in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the south of the Yangtze River by the Central Plains people in the Qin and Han dynasties. The Baiyue ethnic groups are not a whole, but a general name and a geographical name.

The ancient books of the pre-Qin Dynasty often referred to the ethnic groups in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the south as "Yue". In fact, these "Yue" are not a single ethnic group, but a general name for many ethnic groups, each with a caste, not belonging to each other, or "Wuyue" (southern Jiangsu-northern Zhejiang), or "Eastern Ouyue" (southern Zhejiang-northern Fujian), or "Minyue" (southern Fujian), or "Yangyue" (Jiangxi-Hunan), or "Nanyue" (Guangdong), or "Western Ouyue" (Guangxi), or "Luo Yue" (northern Vietnam-southern Guangxi)...... Therefore, it is also called "Baiyue".

In 333 B.C., King Chu Wei raised an army to invade Yue, defeated the Yue Kingdom, and took the land of Wu Yue. From this time on, a new title of "Baiyue" appeared in the literature.

2. Southern Xinjiang

The geographical characteristics of Xinjiang are "three mountains and two basins", with the Altai Mountains in the north, the Tianshan Mountains in the middle, and the Kunlun Mountains in the south. The Altai Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains are located between the Junggar Basin, and the Tarim Basin is between the Tianshan Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains. To the south of the Tianshan Mountains and to the north of the Kunlun Mountains, it is called Southern Xinjiang.

Since ancient times, southern Xinjiang has been a multi-ethnic region, and the art and colorful customs of the Uygur, Tajik, Han, Kirgiz and other ethnic groups constitute a cultural landscape with strong national characteristics. Hundreds of ancient cities, ancient tombs, Thousand Buddha Caves and other historic sites left on the southern and central trunk lines of the ancient Silk Road show the long history and vicissitudes of history.

1）

The Baiyue people have their own national language, life and cultural characteristics. Baiyue language is an adhesive type, which is different from the monophonic meaning of Chinese, so when Baiyue is translated into Chinese, one word is often translated into two words, such as love is "mercy", and heat is "shrimp". Some people believe that the Vietnamese language is very close to the languages of the Zhuang-Kam language family today.

2）

In southern Xinjiang, each highway itself is a beautiful landscape, like a streamer embedded in the desert Gobi and oases.

The vast sand sea is the most important element in southern Xinjiang. The highway above the Gobi and the desert is different from the highway in the mountains and jungles of the southern country, and driving on the highway line of 10,000 miles, you can feel an unprecedented relaxation and a wide field of vision. You must know that the desert poplar "does not die for a thousand years, does not fall down for a thousand years after death, and is immortal for a thousand years after falling". If you don't come to the desert highway in southern Xinjiang, you must not believe in the tenacity, perseverance, and wisdom of the road traffic people, who use their hands to pave the road of life in the vast sea of sand. Together with the Gobi red willow, the desert poplar and the oasis poplar, the traffic people here maintain the purest loyalty to the southern Xinjiang of the motherland, and tell the process of breathing and sharing the fate of the southern Xinjiang and the motherland in a unique form and color.
