Bairi Tibetan Autonomous County (Tibetan :དཔའ་རིས་བོད་རང་སྐྱོང་རྫོང༌།),also known as Tianzhu from its Chinese name (Chinese :天祝藏族自治县),is in the prefecture-level city of Wuwei in the central part of Gansu province,China,bordering Qinghai province to the south and west. It has an area of 7,147 km2 (2,759 sq mi) and approximately 230,000 inhabitants (2003). Its administrative seat is Rabgyai Town (Huazangsi).
The Chinese name "Tianzhu" was named by a Tibetan lama Luo Haoxue (罗好学) in 1936,deriving from the combination of "Tiantang" (天堂寺,aka Chortentang Monastery) and "Zhugong" (祝贡寺,aka Drigung Monastery),the Chinese translation of the two largest lamaseries in the county. [2]
The Tibetan name Bairi (དཔའ་རིས།) is pronounced Bairi in Standard Tibetan,and pronounced Hwari in the local Amdo Tibetan and Huarui (华锐) in Chinese. [3]
An alternative Tibetan name is Tenzhu (ཐེན་ཀྲུའུ།),which is a transcription of the Chinese name Tianzhu.
The county was established as the Tianzhu District of Yongdeng County in 1949,but became an autonomous county of Wuwei in the next year. In 1955,Tianzhu was moved under the administration of Zhangye as the first autonomous county in China. [3] Between 1958 and 1961,Gulang County was part of Tianzhu. In 1961 the county was placed under Wuwei again. [4]
Bairi Tibetan Autonomous County is divided to 14 towns,5 townships. [4] [5]
