Among all the great rivers in the world, it is unique that a country or a nation has owned the Yellow River for at least 2000 years.

The origin of Jiuqu:
The Yellow River is a clear river in the upper reaches.
For thousands of years, most people living here are ethnic minorities. Among them, mainly Tibetans evolved from ancient ethnic groups such as Qiang nationality.
According to the topography of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, they named the upper reaches of the Yellow River with distinctive names, such as Kariqu, Yuegu Zonglie, Zhaqu, Xingsuhai, Maqu, Yan Zhi, Hequ, Jiuqu and Liu Feng Dahe. In Tibetan, "He" is called "Qu".
In ancient China, when they were enlightened, they were told: "When saints come out, Huang Heqing comes."
It is said that the Yellow River becomes clear every 500 years. (Ming Cheng Deng Ji: Studying in Qionglin) There is even a saying that it is hard to see Huang Heqing in a thousand years.
