Ruoqiang County accounts for 29.5% of mountains, 29.78% of Gobi, 12.6 1% of wasteland, 27.8% of desert, 0.54% of lakes and 0.02% of cultivated land. The terrain of the county is high in the south and low in the north, and it inclines from southwest to northeast. The whole landscape can be roughly divided into four parts: the southern mountainous area, the Altun Mountain Nature Reserve designated by the state, is the main animal husbandry base of the county; The central alluvial plain is divided into three oases with point distribution, namely, Washixia, Ruoqiang County and Milan. Lop Nur wind erosion in the northeast, Taklimakan in Kumtag Desert in the northwest, and alluvial desert plain. Trees, shrubs, grasses and desert vegetation such as natural Populus euphratica forests, red willows, Haloxylon ammodendron and reeds grow along the floodplains and terraces of the Tarim River and the lower reaches of the Cherchen River in the plain forest pastoral area of Ruoqiang County, forming a famous desert natural green corridor with a length of 160 kilometers from north to south and a width of about 5 ~ 10 kilometers, thus preventing the Taklimakan desert.

The highest point of the county is Mu Zi Tage Peak in East Kunlun Mountain, with an altitude of 6,973 meters, and the lowest point is Lop Nur depression, with an altitude of 780 meters. The climate belongs to warm temperate desert arid climate with four distinct seasons, with annual average precipitation 17.4 mm, annual average evaporation 1400 mm, annual average temperature1.5℃ and frost-free period 193 days. The northeast wind prevails throughout the year, with an average of 36.9 days of strong winds of magnitude 8 or above.

If the Qiang nationality has a vast territory, including 840,000 mu of desert trees, shrubs and Populus euphratica forests, and all kinds of natural grassland 1.700 mu, it is appropriate to use wasteland 1.9 1.82 mu, and 72,000 mu of arable land can be used in agricultural areas. There are two major water systems in China, with 0/4 rivers/kloc, and the total surface runoff reaches165438+76 million cubic meters. Ruoqiang River, Washixia River and Milan River have been developed and utilized, among which Ruoqiang County uses Ruoqiang River and Waer River with an annual runoff of 65,438+33 million cubic meters.

Rich in mineral resources, more than 40 kinds of minerals have been found: asbestos, jade, gypsum, crystal, gold, mica, iron, copper, lead, zinc, chromium, beryllium, lithium, coal, potassium salt, mirabilite, trona, serpentine and so on. Among the mineral deposits, asbestos, in particular, is one of the most important metallogenic belts in China because of its large reserves and easy development. At present, the proven mineral reserves have reached more than 40 million tons, with high grade and good quality, which are well received by domestic users.

hydrology

Ruoqiang river

It is named after flowing through Ruoqiang Oasis. Located in the west of Ruoqiang County, it originated in Altun Mountain and has two sources. One is the perennial snow belt of Yusupu Arik Mountain above 5000 meters above sea level. The snow area is more than 30 square kilometers, the average snow thickness is 10 meter, and the snow amount reaches 300 million cubic meters. Snowmelt water seeps into the ground at a distance of more than 10 km to the north and gushes out of the ground at a distance of more than 10 km to form a road 55 km long from southeast to northwest, with an average width of 65438. Another place is the spring water and seasonal rivers more than 20 kilometers northwest of the Yusupu Alec Mountain Snow Belt. This place has three branches. The east branch is 4 kilometers northwest of Bashbulake asbestos mine, and there are three fresh water springs with a total flow of 18000 liters/hour. After confluence, it flows into Wenggro Exesay, with a total length of 4 kilometers, and the middle tributary flows into the north and south after confluence by Niruk Brak spring, with a length of 65,438+. The west branch is a north-south seasonal river, about 30 kilometers long, with water from May to September. Three tributaries flow northward into Maitikuosh, Ai He, forming a 20-kilometer-long Qilanleke River, and continue to flow northward into the middle section of Aksu River. It belongs to Lop Nur water system, with the upper reaches located in Altun Mountain, and the riverbed is mostly composed of impermeable layers. Among them, it swims from the northern foot of Altun Mountain, and after passing through the mountain pass, the riverbed is composed of Quaternary gravelly layered strata, which is deeply incised and spreads rapidly after flowing for 30 kilometers, resulting in great leakage loss. It reaches Luobuzhuang at the end and flows through Tieganlike Township, Wutamu Township and County Town, with a total length of100km and a drainage area. With a salinity of 0.55g/L and a PH value of 7.9, it is HCO 2- chlorine-calcium-magnesium type water with an annual runoff of 86 million cubic meters. Runoff is mainly supplied by precipitation in mountainous areas and snow melting in mountainous areas, and the annual runoff is stable, and the flood season appears from late June to late August. The irrigated area 1300 hectares is one of the four major water sources for industrial and agricultural production in this county. Now there are two hydropower stations under Longkou, with a total installed capacity of 500 kilowatts.

Ishakpati Lake 1

Waukesha River, Waukesha River

It is named after flowing through the Oasis of Washixia. It is a sister river with Tashsayi River, and its water supply forms are snowmelt water and spring water, both of which originate from Suramontag snow area in Altun Mountain area, with an altitude of more than 5,500 meters. The snow area at the source is about 80 square kilometers. After the snowmelt water meets, it flows 50 kilometers to the north and accepts the Tusyerbarak River. Roughly in the north-south direction, the highest flood peak reaches 75 m3/s, the lowest low flow is 0.25 m3/s, the normal injection is 1.2m 3/s, and the drainage area is 2,000 square kilometers. The water diversion irrigation project has been completed, with an annual water diversion of about 20 million cubic meters, irrigated land 1 more than 1,000 hectares, water salinity 1.28g/L, PH value of 7.9, SO4-Cl-Na water and annual runoff of about 47 million cubic meters, which is one of the four major water sources for industrial and agricultural production in this county. A hydropower station will be built with a total installed capacity of 150 kW, and fishery production will be initially carried out.

Tashsai, R.

In Uighur, it is called Kashi Tashsayi, or Tashsayi for short, which means Shitougou. It is named because there are many jade pieces in the river bed. As a sister river with the Washixia River, Suramuntag, which originated in Altun Mountain, can get off on the snow belt at an altitude of 5,500 meters. The source snow area is more than 80 square kilometers, and the annual snowfall is 400-500 million cubic meters. Five major tributaries that replenish glaciers converge into rivers, and the seasonal rivers with multiple tributaries supply water to 10 in May. It is located 37 kilometers west of Washixia Township, north-south, with a drainage area of 4.2 million square kilometers and more than 2,600 hectares of irrigated land. The flood season is from June to August, and the dry season is from June 5438+10-March. The average annual flow is 6.57 cubic meters per second, and the annual runoff is 208 million cubic meters. It is one of the four major water sources for industrial and agricultural production in this county. The construction of water diversion irrigation project is an important water source in Tashsayi Agricultural Development Zone.

Lop Nur, Lop Nur.

Shan Hai Jing, a geographical masterpiece in the pre-Qin period, is also known as Rob Naoer, and is called You Ze. Luobnuoer is a Mongolian phonetic translation, which means a lake with a lot of water. It is famous for the ancient Silk Road in the east of Tarim Basin. 192 1 year, Tarim River flows into Peacock River in Yuli County and flows into Lop Nur depression in the east, forming modern Lop Nur. From 1930 to 193 1, Lop Nur is about100km long from north to south, 55km wide from east to west, with an area of 3,200km2, showing an irregular oval shape. After 1942, the runoff of Peacock River decreased and Lop Nur shrank. 1952, the dam was built in the Inmanli area at the mouth of Lion River in Yuli County, and the Tarim River entered the southeast of the old channel and injected into the taitema lake. By the early 1960s, reservoirs had been built in the lower reaches of Tarim River and many dams had been built on Peacock River, and the water cut off from Lop Nur was drying up day by day. From 65438 to 0972, Lop Nur has become a huge dry lake basin. Located in the northeast of the county seat, it was once the second largest inland river in China, with an altitude of 780 meters and an area of 2,400-3,000 square kilometers. The ancient Lop Nur was born at the end of Tertiary and the beginning of Quaternary, covering an area of about 20,000 square kilometers. Under the influence of neotectonic movement, the lake basin tilted from south to north and was divided into many depressions. Lop Nur is now the lowest and largest depression in the north. This used to be the center of water accumulation in Tarim basin. It originated from the ancient basins of Tianshan, Kunlun and Altun Mountains, and injected into Lop Nur depression to form lakes. At present, there are 299 million tons (KCL) of porosity reserves in Luobei Depression and East-West Platform, which are ideal raw materials for producing pure natural potassium sulfate and potassium chloride. There are also some cultivated land resources, wild camels and other rare animal reserves, which are oil bases in southern Xinjiang.

Ayakum L.

Uighur, meaning the sand lake below. It is located at 37 30' north latitude and 89 30' east longitude, south of the county seat190km, at the southern foot of Mount Qimantage. It covers an area of about 520 square kilometers, the lake is 3876 meters above sea level, the average water depth is 10 meters, and the deepest point is 50 meters. The lake is supplemented by Yixiekpati River and Seskaya River. There has been no salt lake since ancient times. Starting from 1982, it can freeze in winter, and the ice thickness is 50 cm. The lake is wide, blue waves are rippling, distant mountains are like islands, and mountains and rivers set each other off. Annual precipitation 100 ~ 200mm, annual average temperature below 0℃, extreme high temperature of 6℃, extreme low temperature of -37℃, large temperature difference between day and night and strong solar radiation. Waterbirds are flying on the lake, and wild animals such as yaks, Tibetan donkeys and Tibetan antelopes are in droves. Aquatic invertebrates in the lake are rich in resources and biomass, among which fish and insects are high-protein bait, and swamp meadow grass is one of the important forage bases in Ruoqiang County.

Azikule L.

Uyghur language, meaning saltwater lake. It is located at 37 05' north latitude and 88 25' east longitude, 265,438+00 kilometers south of the county seat, 65,438+025 kilometers southwest of Yaziquan checkpoint, and at the northern foot of East Kunlun Mountain. It covers an area of about 350 square kilometers, the lake is 4240 meters above sea level, the average water depth is 8 meters, the deepest part is 25 meters, the water is slightly salty, and the ice thickness in winter is 40 cm. It belongs to plateau basin climate, with annual precipitation of 65438±0.50mm, and sand and swamp on the east and west sides. The lake area has beautiful scenery, and rare animals such as wild yak, Tibetan donkey and Tibetan antelope often appear in groups. Summer is coming, birds are gathering, and the scene is quite spectacular and amazing. There is fresh water by the lake, which is an ideal camp for plateau tourism, hunting, mountaineering and scientific research.

Ishak Patty Lake 2

Ayak kumu L.

Lop Nur Potash Lake

Whale Lake, Hu Jingyu.

The lake is shaped like a fat whale, with its head facing east and its tail facing west. Surveyors named it Whale Lake. It is located at 36 20' north latitude and 89 25' east longitude, at the junction of Xinjiang, Tibet and Qinghai provinces, 365,438+00 kilometers southeast of Ruoqiang. It covers an area of about 260 square kilometers, with an altitude of 4,800 meters and a depth of 2 to 10 meters. Water is provided by many intermittent rivers with a peak height of 6,275 meters originating from the surrounding mountainous areas. In the seventh part of the eastern part of the lake, there is a natural gravel dike with a length of 7.5 kilometers, which connects the north and south with the shore of the lake and divides the lake into two. This is a very rare type of lake in the world. Compared with the two lakes, the East Lake injected a large amount of glacial meltwater into the Yu Lang River, with a large number of plankton such as rotifers and copepods, while the West Lake had no fresh water supply and almost saturated salt content, forming a rare lake of Yin and Yang in the world. The lake area is cold and anoxic, with an average annual precipitation of 200 ~ 300mm and an average annual temperature below 0℃. There are no fish in the lake, but Artemia is rich, which needs to be developed and can become an international hunting ground.

Tetema L.

Located on the southeast edge of Tarim Basin, 45 kilometers north of the county seat. It is the tail lake of Tarim River and Qiemo River. It covers an area of about 40 square kilometers, with an altitude of 808 meters and a water depth of 5 meters in history. After the 1960s, the water source was gradually cut off, and now the lake has dried up, leaving only marshes and saline-alkali beaches. The water source is mainly supplied by Tarim River and Qierqin River. When the water volume is large, you can enter Lop Nur along the old route of Tarim River. In recent years, after five times of water conveyance, the lake surface of Tetema Lake has now exceeded 200 square kilometers, and wild ducks, foxes, egrets, Indian ducks and other animals have also been found in the lake. The once "overlord" of the Tarim River and the almost extinct Schizothorax Tarim has long been listed as a second-class protected fish species in Xinjiang. In addition to Schizothorax in Tarim, there are more than a dozen species such as carp, crucian carp and laotou fish, which has changed the history that there is no fishery culture in Ruoqiang area, which is located in the depths of Taklimakan desert.

history

Ruoqiang County has a long history. It was once a channel for various cultural exchanges, mutual transformation and dissemination, and was once one of the most open areas. According to ancient records, camel bells on the Jade Road and the Silk Road have been ringing here for thousands of years since the Western Han Dynasty BC. In the history of Buddhism, the famous monks in China, such as Fa Xian, Song Yun, Sheng Hui and Xuanzang, all went through hardships. On their way to Tianzhu in the west or to their native land in the east, they all taught Buddhism in this sacred place. In the long history of ancient communication between eastern and western civilizations, Ruoqiang is like a bright pearl, shining brilliantly on the ancient Silk Road.

Loulan, located in China, was once a trade distribution center for business travelers in Central Asia for more than five centuries. The coast of Lop Nur is the cradle of Luobu people ... Many ancient nationalities in history, such as Serbs, Qiang people, Huns, Yueshi people, Uygur ancestors, Han people, Tubo people, etc. , thrive here, hard work, * * * jointly developed and built the beautiful Xiqiao land of the Chinese nation, created a colorful and brilliant culture, and many literati left many places for her. It is also one of the largest and earliest agricultural development zones in the ancient western regions. In 77 BC, after Loulan was renamed Shanshan and moved to the south, the former Loulan King City became an important place to station fields and defend the border in the Han Dynasty. In addition, according to the requirements of Wei Tujian, the Han Dynasty sent 1 Sima and 40 to settle in Yixun (present-day Milan). Subsequently, the scale of reclamation here gradually expanded and developed, and the reclamation area once reached more than 45,000 mu. In 53 BC, Xuan Di, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, sent General Xin Wuxian to Bailongdui with a rate of1.5000 to "wait for the well in beige, and want to lead the canal into the valley."

It is recorded in the Notes on Water Classics that the Suo's clothes in Dunhuang mobilized more than a thousand soldiers from Jiuquan and Dunhuang to station fields in Loulan area, and mobilized more than a thousand soldiers from Shanshan, Yanqi and Qiuci. "After crossing the river for three years, the field was flooded with weeds, accumulating millions of millet and conquering foreign countries." With the changes of the times and the passage of time, this magical and vast land has changed after the baptism of war and historical dust, and the Loulan Oasis, which was once prominent, has gradually disappeared. In 609 AD, after Sui Jun defeated Tuguhun, Shanshan County was established in some counties such as Wuxian County and Jiyuan County. The sinners in the world were demoted to garrison and settled in Shanshan. After the abandoned county moved to Shanshan town. In the Tang Dynasty, Guo Kang Kang Yandian presided over the construction of nine new towns in Lop Nur, which belonged to Shazhou (Dunhuang). He cheng was renamed Shicheng Town (now Ruoqiang), and there are seven Tuncheng (also called Datun City) in the northeast. During the Song Dynasty, Ruoqiang had a smooth road and a peaceful life, and there were many business travelers in the past.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Kyle Polo, an outstanding Italian traveler, took a nap in Lop Nur, saying that Lop Nur was a big city, located at the border of Lop Nur, and all the ministers were big shots, and the residents worshipped Maha. Anyone who crosses this desert must stay in this city for a week to quench their thirst for people and animals, and prepare food for January before leaving this city and entering the desert. In the 23rd year of Yuan Dynasty (1286), at the request of Marshal Bie, Lop Nur and Guatai were set up in the county. By the Ming Dynasty, Ruoqiang area had declined, and the pioneers of Qinghai Qu were scattered and nomadic in this area. In the ninth year of Hongwu (1376), after Qu Xianwei was destroyed by Siphandol, all parts were established and merged into Andingwei. During the reign of Zheng De in Ming Dynasty, Andingwei was finally destroyed, and Ruoqiang area became a desert. Only the surviving Luobu people and a few refugees lived a primitive life of fishing and hunting.

/kloc-In the middle of the 0/9th century, several hunters from Keriya discovered the little-known Otto Guxihan and a large oasis with abundant water plants beside the ancient Silk Road on the east bank of Ruoqiang River. Then, some developers moved here from Yutian and Hotan. In the second year of Guangxu reign in the Qing Dynasty (1876), Pur Gerval, a Russian with ulterior motives, crossed the Tianshan Mountains to Lop Nur and set foot in Ruoqiang Old Tucheng. At that time, there were only 2 1 household in the city. When he arrived in Ruoqiang, he saw an older and larger ancient ghost town site adjacent to it. In the 25th year of Guangxu reign in Qing dynasty (1899), the county seat was established after the abolition of the bureau. In the summer of the 29th year of Guangxu reign (1903), it was promoted to Ruoqiang County.

Since modern times, the imperialist powers have been spying on Ruoqiang for a long time. /kloc-In the second half of the 0/9th century and the beginning of the 20th century, imperialist countries such as Russia, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, the United States, Sweden and Austria rushed to send personnel and teams such as "tourist teams", "expeditions" and "caravans" into the southeastern margin of Tarim, and viciously carried out espionage and cultural plunder. They surveyed the terrain. Excessive killing of wild horses, wild camels and other rare birds and animals, making and collecting animal and plant specimens; Stealing cultural relics and plundering treasures have caused unprecedented havoc and destruction to countless rare treasures and ancient sites. Such as Russia's Pule Geval, Lai Gul, Bevzov, Robonovsky, Austria's Saihi Nini, Klettner Rhodes, Sweden's Swindin, Bogman, Britain's Carey, Littledale and his wife Stein, France's Dutley and Bunning, the United States' Huntington, Japan's Otani Guangrui's "adventure" team members Jejuruichao, Nomura Rongsaburo and so on. , all pouring in. In particular, Sven Hedin and Stan have repeatedly sneaked into Ruoqiang to plunder and steal cultural relics, destroying many ancient sites beyond recognition and leaving a lot of treasures.

In the long historical years, due to the cruel oppression and extortion of reactionary rulers such as Bayi and Burke, and the influence of natural conditions such as sandstorm and water diversion, the production of Ruoqiang in all walks of life developed slowly, and the production of agriculture and animal husbandry was in a semi-primitive state of farming, hunting and grazing aquatic plants. In the face of natural and man-made disasters, ordinary people wander around begging. In the old society, endless bandits and plagues made people live in dire straits. According to the report, in the late 1930s, bandits and horse thieves such as Kusayan were kings, and they broke into the borders of Xinjiang, Gansu and Qinghai provinces, seized the Temulik area in the southeast of Ruoqiang as a nest, drove away and killed more than 4,000 herders such as Agyan and Tangtulie who were grazing there, and often gathered and drove bandits south to nearby places such as Milan, Ruoqiang and Washixia for as long as/kloc- Many people with lofty ideals and revolutionary martyrs died in the arms of Altun Mountain in order to defend this sacred land. They left a glorious footprint and immortal achievements on the land of Ruoqiang. In the past, the plague in Ruoqiang area led to the migration of Lop Nur people and the spread of diseases, which led to a sharp drop in population here. The local folk song says: "The ghost fire has passed, and the disease haunts you again, and the tears don't flow." Before liberation, there was no Dajia in Ruoqiang County, and all merchants were engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. Except for a large mosque, the narrow streets are almost all simple flat-topped mud houses, and there is no decent shop or building community. A handful of handicraft workshops, ironwood processing shops, sewing shops, tanning shops, restaurants and stalls in the city are intertwined, which constitutes the urban landscape of the old county. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ruoqiang has undergone earth-shaking changes. The asphalt roads around the city and the country gravel roads extending in all directions have replaced the dusty sand roads, and the spacious and brand-new peasant houses and buildings that have sprung up in towns have replaced the small mud houses. Ruoqiang has ushered in the spring of a hundred flowers.

climate

Ruoqiang County is cold in winter, hot and rainy in summer, with large sandstorm and large daily temperature difference, which belongs to a typical temperate arid and semi-arid climate zone in Chinese mainland. Drought is a major feature of Ruoqiang area. According to the research of geographical experts in Xinjiang, "Ruoqiang is one of the driest places in the same latitude in the world." The southeast of the famous Taklimakan Desert and the southwest of the Kumtag Desert are intertwined here. The world-famous wind erosion landform of Ya Dan and the magnificent landscape called "Dragon City" and "Bailongdui" by the ancients are distributed in the vast areas along Lop Nur in northern China. The majestic Altun Mountain runs through the middle of the county and divides Ruoqiang into two distinct parts: the plain and the mountainous area. In the closed territory, Gobi, desert, snow-capped mountains, wasteland, these primitive natural landscapes still occupy a huge space, but also put on its ferocious and majestic face. The relentless confrontation and crowding of nature are always challenging people. The steep environment, harsh climate, remote geographical location and traffic congestion have brought great difficulties to the development of Ruoqiang's various industries.

If the Qiang people of all ethnic groups can sing and dance well, folk literature is very rich. In remote ancient times, the earliest forms of Twelve Muqams and Yangguan, namely Mahadule and Yangguan Qu, were widely circulated in China. Ruoqiang's Maixilaifu is unique in that men and women dance in pairs. "Ruoqiang Sainaim" and "Alem Sainaim" are beautiful and have a broad mass base. In addition, hand-inspired dance, disc dance and national instrumental music are also very popular and deeply loved by the masses. In the folk, poems, legends, folk songs and other oral literature are rich and colorful, and are regarded as a treasure house of folk literature. In recent years, through continuous excavation, sorting and research, a number of achievements have been made. At the same time, mass cultural performances, literary creation, painting, calligraphy, photography, stamp collecting and other activities are very active.

In Ruoqiang's vast land, there are many places of interest and magnificent natural landscapes, which have attracted countless Chinese and foreign tourists and scientists. Famous ancient city sites such as Loulan, Haitou, Yixun, Nuzhi, Lop Nur and Hehan, as well as colorful murals and rock paintings, as well as earthen beacon towers, the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, garrison forts, thousands of ancient carved Tibetan scriptures, mud stones, alpine stone fields, the Jade Road, the Silk Road and prehistoric cultural sites, have left many mysteries. There are countless strange natural landscapes here, such as the unpredictable scenery of devil valley, the rare Yin-Yang alpine lake and whale lake at home and abroad, the sand springs on the plateau along the Three Springs, various karst landforms, the Kumkuri Desert with the highest altitude of more than 4,000 meters in the world, the world-famous Lop Nur and the confusing landforms in Ya Dan. These are not only excellent tourism resources, but also of great scientific research value; The natural green corridor that stretches over 100 kilometers across the desert, the largest Altun Mountain nature reserve in China, the plateau desert landscape and the original landform. Its magnificent scenery, simple and magnificent momentum and a wide variety of wild animals and plants have become a place people yearn for. Ruoqiang's long history and civilization, ancient multi-ethnic culture and unique environment add magical colors to this magical land. Ruoqiang not only has rich natural resources and unique natural landscape, but also has many rare social and cultural accumulations. For this reason, Ruoqiang is known as a national exhibition, an underground museum and a historical and cultural corridor, and it is a wonderful flower in Xinjiang's hundred gardens.

In 1980s, the "Silk Road" upsurge arose in the world, and the number of scholars and tourists visiting Ruoqiang increased year by year. Archaeological discoveries and unearthed cultural relics in the county are increasing day by day, and a number of important scientific research achievements that attract worldwide attention have been published one after another, such as the exact location and area of the ancient city site of Loulan, the unresolved problem of wandering in Lop Nur for a hundred years, and the geological, climatic and biological mysteries of Altun Plateau Basin. , have made breakthrough progress and satisfactory results. However, until today, in this mysterious land, there are still many historical and natural mysteries waiting for people to uncover and many treasures waiting for people to explore. As for Ruoqiang's simple and colorful customs, legends and stories, unique folk music and dances, and profound dialect proverbs, it has also attracted countless scholars, experts and literary and art workers.

In April, 20021,Ruoqiang County was selected as the second national top 100 cultural counties.

In 200211year1October, the Central Civilization Office confirmed the list of cities nominated for national civilized cities in the founding period of 20021-2023, and Ruoqiang County was on the list.
