Analysis:
Yellow River:
Its source is in bayan har, its mouth is in Shandong, and it flows into Bohai Sea.
Yangtze river:
The source is in the eastern peak of Gladang, and the estuary is in the Yangtze River Delta, which flows into the East China Sea.
The source of the Yangtze River is-.
With a total length of 6,300 kilometers, the Yangtze River is the third largest river in the world. But for a long time, it has been mistaken for the fourth place in the world, behind the Mississippi River in the United States. As the saying goes, a river has a head and a river has a source. Where is the source of the world-famous Yangtze River?
In the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, in order to compile an accurate map of the whole country, many people were sent to explore the Qinghai-Tibet region, including Jiangyuan. Therefore, on the map of the Forbidden City, the map of the Forbidden City clearly indicates that the source of the upper reaches of the Jinsha River is the "Muluwusu River". However, when the special envoy arrived in Jiangyuan area on 1720, he was faced with many rivers as dense as fishnets. I don't know why, but he looked at the sea and sighed. He wrote in the memorial: "The source of the river is like a broom, which means that there are hundreds of sources of the river like brooms. I don't know where the source of the Yangtze River is. It can be seen that the understanding of rivers in Jiangyuan area is still vague.
In the modern history of China, while the imperialists invaded China, they also coveted the treasure land of the Yangtze River. The so-called explorers of different nationalities have set foot on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau many times. 1867 ~ 1885, an armed "expedition" led by czar Russian officer Poole GeVarski entered Xinjiang and Qinghai-Tibet region of China five times, including two trips to the upper reaches of the Tongtian River. 1889 and 1908, Russia sent kozlov and his men through Qaidam basin twice, crossed Bayan Kara and came to the north bank of Tongtian River. 1892, Rockhill, USA, went deep into Garqu on the west side of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. Although they all reached the source of the Yangtze River, they all failed to reach the source of the Yangtze River.
During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, although there were many works about the Jiangyuan water system, its details did not exceed the outline of the waterway. Introduction to Geography of China, published at the beginning of 1946, is a representative book. It said: "The Yangtze River, also known as the Yangtze River, originated at the southern foot of Bayan Kara, Qinghai ... with a total length of 5,800 kilometers, it is the largest giant river in China. There are two sources in the upper reaches of Qinghai, the south source is called Muluwusu and the north source is called Chumar. " Since the Yellow River originates from the northern foot of Bayan Kara and the Yangtze River originates from Shan Zhinan, there are sayings that "all rivers are of the same origin" and "the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are sister rivers". At that time, geography textbooks for primary and secondary schools were all written in this way, and it was also introduced that the 5800-kilometer-long Yangtze River was the fourth largest river in the world. Therefore, the myth spread widely and had far-reaching influence, so that this concept still prevailed in the world after liberation.
In the summer of 1976 and 1978, the Yangtze River Basin Planning Office organized the Jiangyuan investigation team to go deep into the Jiangyuan area for detailed investigation. The results show that the source of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River extends between Tanggula Mountain and Kunlun Mountain on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and there are more than a dozen rivers, including Chuma River, Tuotuo River and Dangqu River. Among the three rivers, the Chumar River has little water and often dries up in winter, so it cannot be the positive source of the Yangtze River. In terms of basin area and water quantity, Dangqu is the largest; However, according to the principle of "the source of the Yangtze River is only in the distance", the Tuotuo River, which is five or six times smaller than Dangqu and18km longer than Dangqu, is determined as the positive source of the Yangtze River. The main source of Tuotuo River has two tributaries, east and west. The east branch originates from the winter snow mountain in Gladin, the main peak of Tanggula (elevation 662 1 m? On the southwest side, the west branch originates from Gaqiadirugang Snow Mountain (elevation 65 13m? On the west side of the Yangtze River, the east branch is slightly longer than the west branch, so the original source of the Yangtze River should be the east branch. The upper part of the east branch is a large glacier (Jiang Gendi is like a glacier? The trickle of glacial meltwater is the source of the Yangtze River.
Xinhua News Agency released the new results of this survey at the source of the Yangtze River on June 5438+0978+ 10/3: "How long is the Yangtze River? Where is the source? According to the investigation results organized by the Yangtze River Basin Planning Office, the source of the Yangtze River is not at the southern foot of Bayan Kara, but in Tuotuo, southwest of Gladin Winter Snow Mountain, the main peak of Tanggula. The total length of the Yangtze River is not only 5,800 kilometers, but 6,300 kilometers, which is longer than the Mississippi River in the United States, second only to the Amazon River in South America and the Nile River in Africa. The next day, the Associated Press sent a telegram from Tokyo, Japan: "The Yangtze River replaced the Mississippi River and became the third longest river in the world."
At this point, the eternal mystery of "where is the real source of the Yangtze River" has been uncovered, and the long-standing erroneous account of the situation of Jiangyuan in history has been corrected.
The source of the Yellow River is-
Where is the source of the Yellow River? The Yellow River flows into the Bohai Sea through Qinghai, Sichuan and Gansu on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi and Shanxi on the Loess Plateau and Henan and Shandong on the North China Plain, with a total length of 5,464 kilometers and a drainage area of 750,000 square kilometers. The Yellow River flows through the Loess Plateau.
1978, the scientific investigation team found that it was located in the hinterland of Qinghai. There are Kunlun Mountain, Yankala Mountain and Borkhanbu Mountain in the hinterland. There is a basin and a large swamp at the foot of the mountain, which is a sea of flowers formed by alpine snow water, called Xinghai. But it is not Heyuan yet. After in-depth investigation, three sources were found: first, Zhaqu, second, Yuegu Zonglie Canal, and third, Kariqu. Zhaqu dries up most of the year, and Kariqu is the longest and largest river basin, which does not dry up during the dry season and is the positive source of the Yellow River.
Ancient poetry such as-.
Yellow River:
The Yellow River is getting farther and farther away, because it flows in the middle of the Yellow River, and Yumenguan is located on a lonely mountain. (Wang Zhihuan's Liangzhou Ci)
The sun sets slowly near the western hills, and the Yellow River flows into the East China Sea. (Wang Zhihuan's "In the Heron Villa")
Have you seen how the water of the Yellow River flows from the sky to the sea and never returns? (Li Bai's "Into the Wine")
I want to cross the Yellow River, but ice will block the ferry and Taihang Mountain will be covered with snow. (Li Bai's "Hard to Walk")
Yangtze river:
Visit Jinshan Temple-Su Shi
The river in my home originated in the early days, and the official tour went straight to the sea.
It is said that the tide is ten feet high, and it is cold and there are sand marks.
Shipantou on the south bank of Zhong Ling has had stormy waves since ancient times.
Strive to climb to the top of the country, and there are many green mountains in the north and south of the Yangtze River.
Afraid to go home at night, the monk stayed to watch the sunset.
The breeze is boundless, the boots are thin, and the fish tail is red.
At that time, Jiang Yue was born, and the second watch was dark.
The river is like a torch, and the flying flame shines on the birds in the mountains.
I'm so disappointed, I don't know anything. What is not a ghost or a person?
Jiangshan is so reluctant to go back to the mountain, and Jiang Shen is so surprised and stubborn.
I am the god of Xie Jiang, and I can't return to my land like a river.

In November of the fourth year of Xining (107 1), Su Shi was appointed as the general of Hangzhou because of his disagreement with Wang Anshi. Passing through Zhenjiang, I climbed Jinshan and wrote this famous seven-character ancient poem. From beginning to end, the whole poem closely revolves around the word "general". His hometown is at the source of the Yangtze River, and he is at the end of the river at this time. When he saw the vast flowing water of the Yangtze River, especially the wave marks left by the river and the huge stones hit by the river, he could not help but deeply feel the hardships of the world and the ups and downs of life, which reminded him of returning to the fields. In the second half of the poem, the author moves from reality to fiction, writing that he saw a strange fire in the middle of the river after dark. The fantasy was that Jiang Shen was blaming him for not wanting to return to the mountains, so he vowed to return to the river when he had a field. The whole poem is like a surging river, which means not to say anything, changing from reality to reality, and letting nature take its course, which can well reflect the characteristics of his seven-character ancient poems, which are tortuous and flowing. The beginning and end of the sentence echo each other at a distance, and he irrevocably wrote down his official career as a scholar in Sichuan, which is also a noteworthy point in the conception of this poem.
