"Shangshu Gong Yu" once recorded that "the stone is accumulated by drawing water from the river, but as for Longmen", and "the stone is accumulated" is located in Qingshan, Anima, near Xunhua Salar Autonomous County, Qinghai Province, which is still far from the source of the Yellow River. It is recorded in Shan Hai Jing and Er Ya that the river flows from Kunlun. After Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty, it was said that the Yellow River originated in Khotan, flowed eastward to Yanze, then sneaked underground, and went out to the south as Heyuan. (See Historical Records Biography of Dawan) These statements are not exact, but they continued until the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, people gradually established a correct understanding of the source of the Yellow River. In the fifth year of Sui Daye (609), Tuguhun settled in Heyuan County, which is now a part of Qinghai Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, indicating that people know that the Yellow River originated here. In 635, in order to quell the Tuguhun rebellion, General Li Jing, Hou, Li Daozong and others led their troops to Xingsuhai and Zhaling Lake. The Book of the New Tang Dynasty contains them: "The second time, the stars stayed in Sichuan, Dabahai, Jishishan and Heyuan." . Xinghai has been called the source of the Yellow River since the Tang and Song Dynasties.
In the Yuan Dynasty, people began to make field trips to the source of the Yellow River. In the 17th year of Yuan Dynasty (1280), Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu sent Du Shi and others to survey the source of the Yellow River and made a detailed investigation of Zhaling Lake, Eling Lake and Xingsuhai Lake. 13 15, Pan Anxiao wrote a book "Heyuan Zhi" based on his investigation in Du Fu's poems, clearly pointing out that the Yellow River originated in the southwest of the Star Sea, where "there are more than 100 wells with water gushing from the ground".
In the 43rd year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1704), Emperor Kangxi ordered Laxi and Lan Shu to explore the source of the Yellow River. When they arrived in Xinghai, they found that there were three rivers in the upper reaches of Xinghai, but they didn't catch up with the source. After Lacey and Lan Shu returned to Beijing, they drew a map of Heyuan, and Lan Shu also wrote a record of Heyuan. At the end of Kangxi, a nationwide topographic survey was organized. In the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi (17 17), Lamar Qinzangbu, Ramba, the director of the hospital and others were sent to the Heyuan area for investigation. This trip "crosses the source of the river and involves Wan Li". After returning to Beijing, the survey results are drawn into the imperial map. This mapping also explored and mapped the source of the river above Xinghai.
In the forty-seventh year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (1782), Amitabha, the bodyguard of the famous gate in Qianlong, paid tribute to Heyuan. Amitabha arrived 300 miles west of Xinghai and made a field survey of three rivers in the upper reaches of Xinghai. It is determined that Allerstam Guole River (now Kaliqu) in the southwest of Xinghai is the upstream source of the Yellow River.
/kloc-from the 9th century to the early 20th century, western explorers and geographers went deep into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to carry out investigation activities. They also went to Heyuan to collect natural and cultural materials, such as Akbar, Doutole and Oren in France, Prugger Lasky, snook and kozlov in Russia, Fessler and Teppel in Germany.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), he visited the source of the Yellow River many times. From 65438 to 0952, organized by the Yellow River Conservancy Commission and led by Xiang Lizhi and Dong Zaihua, the source of the Yellow River was explored for several months. Heyuan exploration team determined that Yuegu Zonglequ is the main source of the Yellow River, and Yahe Lada Heze Mountain is its source, with Ering Lake above and Zhaling Lake below. This result is not consistent with the previous investigation results, which has caused controversy in academic circles, but the statement that the Yellow River originated from Zonglie Canal in Yuegu is widely circulated. During the period of 1978, Qinghai Province invited relevant scientific research professionals from the central and local governments to make another field trip to the headwaters of the Yellow River and the two lakes of Zhaling Lake and Eling Lake, and confirmed that Kaliqu was the main source of the Yellow River, with Zhaling Lake above and Eling Lake below. From 198 1 to 1982, scholar Yang traveled all over the Yellow River on foot. He thinks that the farthest source of the Yellow River is the love song of Lalang, which started from bayan har Ridge, which is 30.5km longer than that of Bjorgu Zonglie Song and 1 1.9km longer than that of Kari Song. From 65438 to 0985, the Yellow River Conservancy Committee confirmed Maqu as the main source of the Yellow River according to historical traditions and opinions of various factions, and set up a sign of the source of the Yellow River in Maqu Fruit Tree in the southwest corner of the Yogu Zonglie Basin.
