Why is the Yellow River the birthplace of ancient civilization in China?

The Yellow River gave birth to Chinese civilization. As early as the Stone Age, the earliest Neolithic civilization in China was formed. For example, Lantian civilization and Banpo civilization appeared in Weihe River, a tributary of the Yellow River. Longshan civilization appeared in Shandong Peninsula and so on. More than 6000 years ago, agricultural activities began to appear in the basin. About 4000 years ago, some blood tribes were formed in the basin, among which Yan Di and Huangdi were the most powerful tribes. Later, the Yellow Emperor gained the position of leader and merged with other tribes to form the "Huaxia nationality", so the Yellow River was the birthplace of ancient culture in China.
