辽阔的中国西部是中华文明的重要发祥地之一。从炎黄二帝到周秦汉唐,中华民族以黄河中上游地区为核心生息繁衍、耕作发展,创造了举世闻名的中华文明,为人类社会的发展进步作出了重大贡献。只是到了近代,由于受自然、历史、政治等诸多因素的影响,沿海与内地的差距进一步拉大,严重制约了西部地区经济社会的发展。 The vast western part of China is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization. From Emperor Yan and Huang to Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties, the Chinese nation, with the core of the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, lived and worked, cultivated and developed and created the world-famous Chinese civilization, making a significant contribution to the development and progress of human society. It is only in the modern times that the disparity between the coast and the interior has been further widened due to the influence of many factors such as nature, history and politics, seriously restricting the economic and social development in the western region.
