秦代以前,是中国文明的发轫期和政治制度的形成期。生活在陇右地区的两个重要族群对农耕文明发育成为中国文明的特质和中国式政治制度的形成这两件大事都产生过重要影响。秦代以后,北方边患历代不绝,甘肃地区长期扮演边境地区的角色,战事多,很多时候为少数民族政权所统治。 Before the Qin Dynasty, it was the period of the birth of Chinese civilization and the formation of the political system. The two important ethnic groups living in Longyou have had a major influence on the development of the farming civilization as the characteristics of Chinese civilization and the formation of a Chinese-style political system. Since the Qin Dynasty, the north has never stopped passing by. The Gansu Province has long played the role of a border region with many wars and many times ruled by ethnic minority governments.
