What is the relationship between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River?
The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are the heritage sources of China culture and the mother rivers of the Chinese nation.

1, all rivers in China. In ancient times, "Jiang" refers to the Yangtze River and "He" refers to the Yellow River. They are the first and second longest rivers in China. The length of the Yellow River is 5464 kilometers. The length of the Yangtze River is 6380 kilometers. The long river and the Yellow River are symbols of the Chinese nation, and together they constitute the representation of the image of the Chinese nation.

2. Both of them were born with immortal history.

The Yangtze River basin gave birth to the ancient Hemudu primitive culture, and the Yellow River basin gave birth to Lantian civilization and Banpo civilization in Shaanxi.

3. All originated in Qinghai Province.

The Yangtze River originates from the "roof of the world" of the Tanggula Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau-southwest of Dongfeng, and is the mother river of the Chinese nation. The main stream flows through Qinghai, Xizang Autonomous Region, Sichuan, Yunnan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shanghai 1 1 provincial administrative region (8 provinces and 2 cities 1 district) and flows into the East China Sea east of Chongming Island, with a total length of more than 6,300 kilometers.

Zhaqu, which originated in the southern foot of ChaHasila Mountain in bayan har branch of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, originated in the northern foot of Gegeya Mountain in bayan har branch in the south, and Yueguzong music originated in the western part of Xingsuhai in the west. It flows from west to east through Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong provinces, and finally flows into the Bohai Sea.

Extended data

The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are characterized by:

1. The main stream of the Yangtze River runs through central China from west to east. Hundreds of tributaries converge north and south, extending to parts of eight provinces, including Guizhou, Gansu, Shaanxi, Henan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Fujian. The drainage area is 6.5438+0.8 million square kilometers, accounting for 654.38+0/5 of the total land area of China. Most of the water in the Huaihe River also flows into the Yangtze River through the Grand Canal.

2. The Yangtze River basin has a warm climate and abundant rainfall. Because of its vast territory and great terrain changes, the climate types are diverse. Natural disasters such as floods, floods, droughts and hail occur from time to time.

3. 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 and carries a lot of sediment, 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.

4. The Yellow River basin has a vast territory, many mountains, great difference in elevation between east and west, and great differences in landforms in different regions. Because the basin is located in the mid-latitude zone, the influence of atmospheric circulation and monsoon circulation is more complicated, so the climate difference in different areas of the basin is significant, and the annual and seasonal changes of climate elements are greater.
