宁夏南部山区属于黄土高原半干旱水土流失严重的回民聚居地区。长期以来,由于种种原因造成生态环境严重失调,生产力发展缓慢,经济文化落后。虽然国家和各级政府做了许多努力并取得一定成绩,但是至今部分农民的温饱问题尚未完全解决,是全国有名的贫困地区。 The mountainous area in the south of Ningxia belongs to the Muslim settlement area where the semi-arid soil erosion in the Loess Plateau is serious. For a long time, due to various reasons, the serious ecological environment imbalance, the slow development of productive forces, economic and cultural backwardness. Although many efforts have been made by the government at all levels and at all levels and some achievements have been made, the problem of adequate food and clothing for some peasants so far has not yet been fully solved and is a well-known poor area in the country.
