中国西北地区拥有丰富的人类遗传资源和语言资源。值得注意的是，正是在这里，古丝绸之路从其东部终点西安蜿蜒穿过山脉和沙漠向西，由于东西方交流，留下了许多具有不同宗教信仰，文化和习俗的民族。早在1947年，中国记者朱天就提出，曾经是古丝绸之路重镇的永登县薛家湾人是东方吉普赛人（朱1947）。此后，相对于邻近的汉族农民，这个以算命为生的特殊人群引起了极大的关注。到目前为止，已经发表了几十篇文章，从不同的角度讨论了薛家湾人的族源（Tuo 2006; Yang 1991; Wu et al. 2001; Wu 1990，1991; Guan and Zhang 2012）。基于民俗和历史的比较，一些学者认为古代吉普赛人

Based on folkloric and historic comparisons, some scholars hold the ancient Gypsy
