With a population of 480,000 and an area of , Changting is the fifth largest county in the province (). The majority of the population belongs to the Hakka people (客家人) and speaks Changting dialect, a dialect of Hakka Chinese (客家语). The Changting dialect is mutually unintelligible with the Meixian dialect, which is another Hakka language spoken in Guangdong. The county seat is the town of Tingzhou. ==History== *Main article : Tingzhou Prefecture Changting was originally the name of a prefecture (called Tingzhou in imperial times), established in the second year of the Republic of China - 1913. During the Chinese Civil War, this prefecture was the economic and financial centre of the Chinese Soviet Republic. Tens of thousands of people from Changting joined the Chinese Red Army but not many survived the Long March. With the founding of the People's Republic of China, the prefecture was redesignated "Longyan" (龙岩地区) and its government was moved down to Xinluo (新罗). Changting has since been the name of a county only, within the municipal region of Longyan. With the prosperity of road and railway transportation and more and more dams built along the river, Ting River gradually lost its advantage as a vital transportation means. Changting, once an important concentration place for travellers and goods, became isolated by big mountains. Changting lost its place as the center of western Fujian and became one of the poorest counties in Fujian province. Today, the situation has improved a lot with first railroad in service in 2005 and first highway in service at the end of 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Changting County」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
