Introduction to Africa both Chinese and English Brief information on Africa

Africa is the second largest continent in the world. It is shaped like a huge unequal triangle, narrow in the south and wide in the north, surrounded by the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and there are not many coastal islands, the largest of which is Madagascar. Africans are inhabited by blacks, whites, and yellows, with blacks accounting for about two-thirds of the population.

The full name of Africa is "Africa". Africa is generally a small undulating plateau, the equator runs through the middle of the continent, three-quarters of the region has an average annual temperature of more than 20 degrees Celsius, almost all year round summer, so people are called the "tropical continent". The Sahara Desert, located in northern Africa, is the largest desert in the world.

The Nile, the largest river in Africa, is also the longest river in the world, and the Nile River Basin is one of the cradles of the world's ancient civilizations. Standing on the border between Kenya and Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, with snow at its summit all year round, and is known as the "Snow White on the Edge of the Equator". The Great Rift Valley, which runs through eastern Africa, is the world's largest fault zone.

Nestled in the East African highlands, Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world.

Africa is rich in mineral, hydro, agricultural and forestry resources. There is no shortage of more than 50 of the world's most important minerals, and at least 17 of them rank first in the world. Known as the "barren land", the Sahara Desert is a huge treasure trove of energy, with vast amounts of oil in the ground that can be extracted.

South Africa is the world's largest producer and exporter. Zambia is known as the "Land of Copper Mines".

Africa is rich in agricultural products such as cocoa, coffee, cotton, wheat, maize, sorghum, millet, cassava and palm oil. Egypt's long-staple cotton is world-renowned for its high yield.

Africa is a vast land with abundant resources, and its people are hard-working. However, Africa has suffered from 500 years of colonial rule, aggression, exploitation and plunder by imperialism and colonialism, turning Africa into the "poorest continent" in the world. According to the United Nations, 33 of the 48 least developed countries in the world are African; Of the more than 50 countries in Africa, 62 per cent are LDCs.

Despite the challenges it is currently facing, Africa remains a "continent of hope".

There are many interesting legends about the origin of the word Africa:

According to one legend, a Yemeni chieftain named Africus invaded North Africa in 2000 BC and founded a city there called Afrikyah, which later became known as Africa.

Another legend is that "Africa" is the name of a goddess worshipped by the Berbers living in North Africa. The goddess is a patron saint and is said to have been found in a temple by the Berbers as early as the 1st century BC, a young woman dressed in elephant skin. Since then, the name of the goddess "Africa" has been adopted as the name of the African continent.

There is also a theory that the word Africa is derived from the Latin aprica, which means "the sun is hot", and the sun in North Africa is indeed much hotter than Greece and Rome on the northern shore of the Mediterranean.

Another theory is that the word Africa is derived from the Arabic word afar, meaning "dust", and is named after the continent's dry climate and windy sand.

In addition, it is also said that the Roman conqueror Scipion who invaded Carthage (present-day Tunisia) was nicknamed "Sepion Afrigan", and the Roman rulers called the area "African" in honor of the conqueror. Later, the Romans continued to expand and established the province of New Africa. At that time, the name was limited to the northern regions of the African continent.

By the 2nd century AD, the Roman Empire's territory in Africa had expanded to cover a vast area in the northeast, from the Strait of Gibraltar to Egypt, and the Romans or natives who lived here were collectively called Africans, meaning Africans. This place was also called "African", and later referred to the African continent in general.
