20世纪80年代初,宁夏回族自治区政府针对“贫困甲天下”的宁南山区西海固出台了:“贫困山区,有水走水路、无水走旱路、水旱路不通另找出路,以山济川,山川共济”的移民扶贫政策。于是,1983年泾源县先后有1万多回族移民到地处银川市西南角10公里的芦草洼(现为西夏区兴泾镇)安家落户。 In the early 1980s, the government of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region targeted the western Ningxia mountainous area where the “poor and the underdeveloped areas” were built. “Poor mountainous areas have water and waterways, dry roads without water, , With mountains and rivers, mountains and rivers help each other ”immigration policy of helping the poor. As a result, in 1983, more than 10,000 Hui people in Jingyuan County settled in Lucaowa (now Xingjing Town, Xixia District), 10 kilometers away from the southwestern corner of Yinchuan City.
