Poems related to the Yellow River culture:
Have you noticed, how the Yellow River's waters move out of heaven, entering the ocean, never to return (Li Bai). The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and it is an isolated city, Wan Ren Mountain (Wang Zhihuan). When the Yellow River falls to the East China Sea, Wan Li writes in his mind (Li Bai >). The sun was slowly sinking near the western hills, and the yellow river flowed into the east sea.
but you widen your view three hundred miles, by going up one flight of stairs. (Wang Zhihuan >). The desert is lonely and straight, and the long river sets the yen. The yellow river winds its way from a distant place, carrying a thousand miles of yellow sand. (Liu Yuxi Tang's "Langtaosha"). The peaks are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road.
History
The middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River are dominated by mountains, while the middle and lower reaches are dominated by plains and hills. Because the middle section of the river flows through the Loess Plateau in China, it carries a lot of sediment, so it is also called the river with the largest sediment concentration in the world. However, in the history of China, the diversion of the lower Yellow River has brought great influence to human civilization.
The Yellow River is the most important birthplace of Chinese civilization, and China people call it the "mother river". Every year, it carries 1.6 billion tons of sediment, of which 1.2 billion tons flow into the sea, and the remaining 4 million tons stay in the lower reaches of the Yellow River for many years, forming an alluvial plain, which is conducive to planting.
