A Reason to Read
維吾爾族所居住的新疆南部（簡稱南疆），處在亞洲的腹地，這裏多荒山和大漠，四季有酷暑和風暴，在很多內陸及沿海的人看來是貧脊惡劣的。但是，維吾爾人在這裏生活了上千年，他們體格健壯，相貌堂堂，男子英俊豪放，女子美麗聰慧，老人鶴發童顏，兒童活潑健康。他們在這塊土地上創造了發達的民族文化，有四季不斷的節日，有豐富多彩的藝術和傳統，有風味獨特的美食，更有亙古不斷的歡笑……
The southern part of Xinjiang Uigur Autonomous Region of China，where the Uigur people live，is in the heart of Asia.In the eyes of many people who live much closer to the shore，this area with its barren mountains and desolate desert，along with its scorching heat and blustering storms，is a waste land unfit for living.However，the Uigurs who have lived here for thousands of years are a group of healthy and handsome people.Here，men are strapping and straight for ward，women are wise and beautiful，elderly are sturdy and optimistic，children are vibrant and lovely.It is in this land that the Uigur people created their rich ethnic culture with exuberant arts and traditions，unique delectables，festivals all year around and laughter that's never ending.
這一切對習慣於用自己的文化心理去審視和衡量的人群似乎是個謎，會讓他們覺得不可思議。隻有在走近一個民族並深入交往和了解後，才會發現不同民族之間異質文化的外表下是同質的精神內涵，因為人類美好的願望是相通的。
While all these seem absurd and unthinkable for those who are used to make judgments based on their own cultural psychology，they can find the same spirit shared by all sorts of cultures as well as the entire human race when they get in touch with a different ethnic group and have a close examination.
這本書將呈現給你一個生動的南疆、多彩的南疆、自然的南疆、人文的南疆，它會幫你解開很多心中的謎。
