The total population of Wuwei City is 1.9345 million, and the urban population is 509,600. Among them: Liangzhou District has a total population of 980,000, Minqin County has a total population of 280,000, Gulang County has a total population of 380,000, and Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County has a total population of 220,000. The Tu ethnic group in Wuwei City is concentrated in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, with a total of 11,837 people. Wuwei has been an important commercial port on the Silk Road since ancient times and is home to 38 ethnic groups including Han, Hui, Mongolian and Tu. Tianzhu Tibetans call themselves "Huarewa", which means people from the heroic tribe. According to Tibetan folklore, two Tibetan brothers lived under the snowy mountains of Bayan Har long ago. The elder brother was called Axiu and the younger brother was called Huaxiu. They were both tribal leaders. Due to natural and man-made disasters, they led all their troops to leave one after another. Hometown, came to the northern area of ??Dzongkha in the lower part of Amdo Tibetan area. The tribe led by his younger brother Hua Xiu finally settled in the Datong River Basin, and thrived for generations, becoming today's "Huarui".

According to Tibetan and Chinese historical records: In the second half of the seventh century AD, the Tubo Dynasty quickly expanded outwards after its rapid rise on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. One of its legions was very brave and good at fighting. They occupied Hexi for a long time. For more than 190 years, because he did not receive an order from the King of Tibet to return, he had no choice but to stay put. Over time, he transformed from an army to a civilian and entered the Qilian Mountains. Relying on his bravery, tenacity, hard work and wisdom, he finally managed to survive in an extremely complex social and natural environment. They survived and gradually formed today's Tianzhu Tibetan people. From folklore and historical records, it can be seen that the Tianzhu Tibetans migrated from other places. That is to say, the origin of the Tianzhu Tibetan people is Tubo and has little relationship with the ancient Qiang people.
