The story of the Yellow River in 200 words

The legend of [carp jumping over the dragon gate] :

The Dragon Gate is located about 65 kilometers south of Hukou Falls, at the southernmost end of the Jinshan Gorge. To the south of Longmen is the open and flat Guanzhong Plain. The water of the Yellow River suddenly enters the wide riverbed from the narrow dragon gate, and the nature of the river changes greatly.

The formation of Longmen is that Longmen Mountain in the east and Liangshan Mountain in the west each stretch out of the ridge and move closer to each other, forming a narrow mouth gate only 100 meters wide, like a giant pincer, binding the river and forming a turbulent water flow. Whenever the flood season, because the water level in the gorge mouth is high, and out of the canyon, the river valley suddenly widens, and the water level drops suddenly, so the obvious water level difference is formed in Longmen, so there is the saying of "Longmen three water falls".

Following the story of "carp jumping over the dragon gate", it refers to the fall of the water that jumps here, and the story is that the little carp is not afraid of danger and obstacles, and has jumped the gate on the road to Jackie Chan. Only those indomitable little carps can eventually become dragons. This story has also inspired the descendants of Yan and Huang to fight tenaciously and endlessly for thousands of years.

In ancient times, people felt incredible about the formation of this natural wonder of Longmen Gorge, and imagined a gorge mouth that was dug by Dayu, so Longmen was also called "Yu Gate".

The story of [Feng Yidang Hebo]:

In ancient times, there was a man named Feng Yi in Huayintong Township, who was not at ease to farm, and wanted to become an immortal. He had heard that a person who drank the juice of daffodils for a hundred days could turn into immortal bodies. So I looked for daffodils everywhere.

Feng Yi ran around looking for daffodils, so he often crossed the Yellow River, crossed the Yellow River, crossed the Yellow River, and often dealt with the Yellow River. Ninety-nine days have passed in the blink of an eye, find another daffodil, suck the juice of the daffodil for a day, and you will become an immortal. Feng Yi was very proud, and crossed the Yellow River to a small village to look for daffodils.

The water here is not deep, Feng Yi waded across the river, and when he reached the middle of the river, suddenly the river rose. He panicked, slipped under his feet, fell into the Yellow River, and drowned alive.

After Feng Yi died, he was full of grievances and grievances, gritted his teeth and hated the Yellow River, so he went to the Jade Emperor to sue the Yellow River. The Jade Emperor was also very annoyed when he heard that the Yellow River was undisciplined, and that it was spreading wild everywhere, endangering the people. He saw that Feng Yi had sucked the juice of daffodils for ninety-nine days, and it was time to become an immortal, so he asked Feng Yi if he would like to be the god of water in the Yellow River and govern the Yellow River.

Feng Yi was overjoyed. Achieve your wish to become an immortal. Become a river both.

The Yellow River has been diverted several times in history, and there have been major floods during the Han Wu Emperor and Kangxi periods, and the most famous diversion is the Yellow River. Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty asked Wang Jing to govern the Yellow River, but the Yellow River did not flood for 800 years.

The flood in the Yellow River basin was a disaster, and Emperor Yao ordered Kun to control the water, and the Kun adopted the method of water to block the earth, but the flood not only did not cure, but also aggravated the flood damage; Kun was killed, by his son Dayu then governed, Dayu took the method of channeling, chiseled open the dragon gate, dug through nine rivers, and led the flood to the sea, so far the flood was solved, and the people lived a happy life.

It is said that it took 300 large rivers and 3,000 small rivers and countless small rivers and streams to dredge all the floods.

Once upon a time, there was a puffer fish that jumped into the sea and became a dolphin.

Once upon a time there was a hippopotamus that jumped into the sea and became a seahorse.

The Yellow River, a major river in northern China, has a total length of about 5,464 kilometers and a basin area of about 752443 square kilometers. It is one of the longest rivers in the world and the second longest river in China. [1]

The northern source of the Yellow River originates from the Zhaqu at the southern foot of the Chahasila Mountain, a branch of the Bayankala Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in Qinghai Province, the southern source originates from the Kariqu at the northern foot of the Gezigoya Mountain, the branch of the Bayan Kala Mountains, and the western source originates from the Yougu Zongliequ in the western part of the Xingzhu Haixi. It flows from west to east through 9 provinces (autonomous regions) of Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong, and finally flows into the Bohai Sea.

The middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River are mainly mountainous, and the middle and lower reaches are dominated by plains and hills. Because the middle section of the river flows through the Loess Plateau region of China, it carries a large amount of sediment, so it is also known as the river with the most sediment content in the world. But in Chinese history, the diversion of the lower reaches of the Yellow River has had a huge impact on human civilization.
