The Yellow River is the second longest river in China and one of the few famous rivers in the world. Starting from the northern foot of Bayan Kara, she accepted thousands of streams and rivers, rushing eastward, passing through Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other nine provinces, and pouring into the vast sea, with a total length of 5,465 kilometers and a drainage area of more than 750,000 square kilometers, just like a golden dragon, lying across the vast land in northern China.

The natural environment of the ancient Yellow River basin was superior. At that time, the climate here was warm and humid, the land was fertile, the mountains and rivers were green, and all kinds of plants were everywhere, which provided favorable conditions for the survival of primitive humans. After Yin Dynasty, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River became the earliest developed areas in China, with rapid economic development, rapid population growth and advanced politics and culture. Therefore, the Yellow River Basin has become the cradle of the growth of the Chinese nation.

According to legend, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, the Yellow Emperor, was born in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, and the area where he and his clan mainly lived was also in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. Later Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties were established by his descendants. They call themselves "Hua" (or "Xia") and live in the Central Plains. People think that "Central Plains" is in the four directions, so later generations also call it "China". Later, "China" became another name for China.

The Yellow River gave birth to the ancient culture of the Chinese nation, and it is one of the birthplaces of ancient civilization. In the middle of Neolithic Age, the Huangdi people began to use painted pottery. From the ancient cultural sites excavated in Yangshao Village, Hunchi, Henan Province and banpo village, Xi 'an, we can see simple wooden and stone farm tools, wooden houses, grain storage caves and various pottery, among which the painted pottery with human faces, fish and deer patterns is quite exquisite, reflecting the long history and superb artistic talent of the Chinese nation. This culture is called. Quot Yangshao culture or painted pottery culture.

The seven ancient capitals of China, Anyang, Xi, Luoyang and Kaifeng, are all located in the Yellow River basin. The culture of the Tang Dynasty centered on the ancient capital Chang 'an was the peak of world culture at that time, which influenced the cultures of all countries in the world, especially those of Asian neighbors.

The Yellow River has nurtured the Chinese nation with rich milk, and the outstanding sons and daughters of the Chinese nation have worked hard around her and created splendid ancient culture. The Yellow River is the cradle of the Chinese nation and the birthplace of China culture.
