The Andromeda galaxy was observed by the Guoshoujing Telescope (GSJT, formlynamed the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope -- LAMOST)during the 2009 commissioning phase. Due to the absence of standard stars forflux calibration, we use the photometric data of 15 intermediate bands in theBeijing-Arizona-Taipei-Connecticut (BATC) survey to calibrate the spectra.Total 59 spectra located in the bulge and disk of the galaxy are obtained.Kinematic and stellar population properties of the stellar content are derivedwith these spectra. We obtain the global velocity field and calculatecorresponding rotation velocities outer to about 7 kpc along the major axis.These rotation velocity measurements complement those of the gas content, suchas the H {\sc i} and CO. The radial velocity dispersion presents that the starsin the bulge are more dynamically thermal and the disk is morerotation-supported. The age distribution shows that the bulge was formed about12 Gyr ago, the disk is relatively younger, and the ages of some regions alongthe spiral arms can reach as young as about 1 Gyr. These young stellarpopulations have relatively richer abundance and larger reddening. The overallaverage metallicity of the galaxy approximates the solar metallicity and a veryweak abundance gradient is gained. The reddening map gives a picture of adust-free bulge and a distinct dusty ring in the disk.
