Why does the Yellow River feed the Chinese nation?

1. The Yellow River is not only a natural river with a long history and great momentum, but also the mother river that gave birth to the splendid civilization of the Chinese nation. The word mother itself contains rich humanistic connotation. Therefore, in the development of the Yellow River tourist area, natural resources and human resources should be considered in a unified way, and the perfect combination of the two should be realized as far as possible. The Yellow River is the mother river, because as early as ancient times, China's primitive ancestors lived and thrived in the Yellow River basin. In thousands of miles of the Yellow River valley, ancestors settled here because of its mild climate and superior hydrological conditions, which is conducive to the growth of crops. The core areas of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties in the initial stage of Chinese civilization and several powerful unified dynasties such as the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty are also in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Many ancient classic cultural works reflecting the wisdom of the Chinese nation also originated in this area. Science and technology, invention, 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.

2. The origin of the name of the Yellow River: The ancient Yellow River had a wide water surface, abundant water and clear water quality. At that time, her name was not Yellow River. The Yellow River is called "River" in Shuo Wen Jie Zi, Shan Hai Jing, the oldest geography book, Shang He, Yu Zhuan, China River, Shangshu and Historical Records. In the Western Han Dynasty, due to the increasing sediment content in the river, some people called her "turbid river" or "Yellow River", but it was not universally recognized. It was not until the Tang and Song Dynasties that the name of the Yellow River was widely used.
