Brief introduction of Gansu:

Gansu, called Liang Yongdi in ancient times, is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River with its capital in Lanzhou. Gansu is based on the initials of Ganzhou (now Zhangye) and Suzhou (now Jiuquan). Because Xixia once set up Gansu military sub-division, Gansu Province was set up in Yuan Dynasty, referred to as Gansu; Because most of the province is in the west of Longshan (Liupan Mountain), Longyou Road is located here in the Tang Dynasty, so it is also called Longyan for short.
