Why are the Yangtze River and the Yellow River called mother rivers?

Because as early as ancient times, the primitive ancestors of China lived and thrived in the Central Plains of the Yellow River Basin. In thousands of miles of the Yellow River Basin, our ancestors settled here because the climate here is mild and humid, the four seasons are distinct, and the water temperature conditions are superior, which is conducive to the growth of crops.

In the initial stage of Chinese civilization, there were dozens of powerful dynasties, such as Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and later the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Five Dynasties, the Ten Kingdoms and the Song and Jin Dynasties. The core areas of their political and economic activities were also in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. This area has also produced many ancient classic cultural works that reflect the wisdom of the Chinese nation.

Science and technology, inventions, urban construction, literature and art, which marked ancient civilization, also came into being here. Therefore, the Yellow River gave birth to Chinese civilization and nurtured Chinese children. People often say that the Yellow River is the cradle and mother river of the Chinese nation, and this is its significance.

Extended data:

In the history of China, the Yellow River had a great influence on residents on both sides of the strait, with both advantages and disadvantages. But in any case, the Yellow River has nurtured the Chinese nation and civilization, so China people call it "Mother River". The Yellow River is the birthplace of the Chinese nation, the mother river of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and the endless root of the tree of Chinese civilization!

As the saying goes, "Ningxia is the best in the world, and Huang Hefu is the best", and the excellent natural environment in the Yellow River Basin has promoted the continuous development of Central Plains culture, which is praised by the world. The endless Yellow River water for thousands of years has bred hundreds of millions of acres of fertile land, and "the wind blows grass and the cattle and sheep are low", which is the core birthplace of 5,000 years of agricultural civilization.
