摘要
Luocheng Mulao Autonomous County at the southern foot of the Jiuwan Mountains in northern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is dominated by lush mountains and ridges.The green hills and clear waters have nurtured profound cultural heritage,and the surviving ancient Mulao culture and customs are unique.Many ethnic groups including Mulao,Zhuang,Han,Miao,Yao and Dong continue to thrive there.However,Luocheng is a key county for China’s poverty alleviation because its many mountains,meager arable land,and inconvenient transportation have hindered its development.In 2015,the county had 83,900 registered impoverished people living in 82 villages,and the poverty headcount ratio was 28.47 percent.At the end of 2019,19 poor villages remained with a combined povertystricken population of 6,509 in 2,315 households.
