"The National Costume Culture 22"

Yugur people live in nearly 90% of Kangle, Dahe, Minghua, Yucheng District and hoofah Township in the area of Sunan Yugur Autonomous County of Gansu Province, and the rest live in the Yugur township of Jiuquan city.

Yugur called themselves "Yao hu er".

In Yuan and Ming Dynasties, they called "sati Wei Wu" and "Li Wei Wei Er". In modern times, they called "Xi La Wei Gu Er" and "Xi La Guer Huang Fan".

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was once called "saliuyur".

In 1953, after consultation with the representatives of the ethnic group, we decided to "Yugu", which is similar to the "Yao Hu" sound, and also take the meaning of "rich and strong Chinese" as a family name.

According to the fifth national census in 2000, the Yugur population was 13719.

Yugur now uses three languages: one is the Western Yugu language (also known as Yao Hu language), mainly the Yugur people in the western part of Sunan Yugur Autonomous County; the other is the eastern Yugu language (also known as Engel language) and the masses in the eastern part of Sunan Yugur Autonomous County, and the other is Chinese.

The Yugur nationality does not have the native language, generally uses the Chinese language.

The ancestors of the Yugur can be traced back to Ding Ling, third Century BC, the iron lake of fourth Century, and the Hui nationality living in the river of the color River and the erhun River Basin.

Hui is one of the six parts of Eastern tile (also known as Di Li, Chi Le, Gao Che).

Later, in the struggle against East Turkic khanate, the eastern tribe formed a tribal alliance centered on Hui nationality, known as "nine surname" or "nine surnames".

In the middle of eighth Century, Hui Hui defeated the Turks and established the Hui and Khanate in the Uyghur mountains (today's Hang AI Shan Branch) and Wen Kunhe (now erhun River).

In the middle of ninth Century, the Hui and Khanate were broken by kirghas, and all the parts of the Hui Autonomous Region moved around, and one of them went to the west side of the river to merge with some of the early Hui and Hui, where they lived and multiplied and became the Yugur people today.
