The mother rivers of the four ancient civilizations, what are the mother rivers in China?

The Yellow River and the Yangtze River are the mother rivers of the Chinese nation. Some people call rivers the arteries of the earth, and rivers have nourished the earth and nourished the people for generations, becoming the cradle of the development of human civilization. That's why many rivers are called "mother rivers".

1. Yellow River

The Yellow River gave birth to Chinese civilization, and as early as the Stone Age, the earliest Neolithic civilization in China was formed, such as the Lantian civilization and the Banpo civilization, which appeared in the Weihe River, a tributary of the Yellow River. More than 6,000 years ago, agricultural activities began in the basin. According to records, about 4,000 years ago, a number of blood-related clans and tribes were formed in the basin, among which the two major tribes of Yandi and Huangdi were the most powerful.

Later, the Yellow Emperor achieved the status of the leader of the alliance and merged with other tribes to form the "Huaxia Clan".

2. Yangtze River

In the Paleolithic Age, about 2003 million to 1 million years ago, the Yangtze River basin was one of the important areas for the survival and evolution of early humans. Among the fossils of ancient humans that have been discovered, early, middle, and late periods have been found. About 2 million years ago, ancient humans who were active in the Three Gorges area of the Yangtze River appeared in China, known as "Wushan Man".

Action to Protect the Mother River:

With the theme of protecting the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and other major rivers that nurture the "mother river" of the Chinese nation and the people, the "Mother River Protection Action" mobilizes League organizations at all levels and the vast number of young people to fully absorb social resources through the efforts of the whole regiment, builds the "Mother River Protection Project", carries out the "Mother River Protection Action Week (Day)" activities, and creates the "Mother River Protection **".

In the "Mother River" basin, we will vigorously carry out afforestation, control soil erosion, protect the ecological environment, advocate and establish a sense of green civilization and sustainable development, promote the construction of national ecological projects, and contribute to the mother river to better benefit the Chinese nation and achieve global ecological balance.

China's eight famous rivers have also become the mother rivers of each region.

The 10 most famous rivers are the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Pearl River, the Brahmaputra River, the Nu River, the Han River, the Heilongjiang River, the Songhua River, the Liao River, the Lancang River, and so on.

The Yellow River flows from west to east, passing through nine provinces of our country, and finally joins the Bohai Sea, the origin of civilization in the Yellow River has a long history, from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people have recorded the Yellow River so much that people can't count it. However, there are very few historical records of the Yangtze River Basin, and the archaeological work of the Yangtze River is much later than that of the Yellow River, so this is why the Yellow River is called the mother river.

The Yellow River, with a flow of 5,464 kilometers, is the second longest river in China and the fifth longest in the world. Its source is the ancient Zongliequ at the northern foot of Bayan Kala Mountain, and there are thousands of tributaries and streams connected to it, like countless capillaries.

Known as the mother river is the Yellow River. The Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties in the initial stage of civilization, as well as the core areas of several powerful unification kings such as Han, Sui, Tang, and Northern Song Dynasty are all in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the Yellow River basin is the birthplace of the Chinese nation, and the Yellow River has given birth to Chinese civilization and nurtured the sons and daughters of China, and it is often said that the Yellow River is the cradle of the Chinese nation.

Ancient Babylon arose from two river basins, the Euphrates and the Tigris. Ancient India originated in the Ganges River basin and the Indus River basin, and the Ganges River is known as the "mother river" of India. Ancient Egypt originated in the Nile River Valley, which is known as the "mother river" of Egypt.

China originates in the Yellow River Basin, which is known as China's "mother river".

Extended Materials. The period of the existence of the four ancient civilizations coincided with the beginning of the period of human agricultural civilization. In terms of natural conditions, the production of crops requires not only abundant irrigation water, but also fertile land.

First of all, due to the abundance of water resources, the large river basin provides natural favorable conditions for agricultural irrigation. Secondly, the periodic flood season of the river brings a large amount of organic matter to the land on both banks, making the surrounding land very fertile and providing sufficient nutrients for the growth of crops.

Finally, the most important thing for an early civilization was the defense of rivers against external uncertainties. The terrain of the four ancient civilizations created civilization is the plain, and the river is precisely the main barrier for the defense of the plain.

Rivers occupy a very important position among the many factors that formed the civilization of ancient peoples. The history of human civilization can be said to be the history of the flow of rivers. The birthplace of the world's ancient civilization is located in the great river basin, throughout the history of the development of human civilization, it is a history of water recognition, water control, water use, water protection, and water appreciation.

For example, the four major civilizations recognized by the world: the Mesopotamian civilization.

Ancient Egyptian civilization, ancient Indian civilization.

The Yellow River civilization and other civilizations were all based on the great rivers as their cradle, and developed on the basis of settled farming. Human civilization has developed the earliest agricultural culture from living near the water, and every process of human civilization has deeply left the imprint of water, and water conservancy civilization has played a decisive role from beginning to end.

There are probably the following aspects:

1.Hydro energy weight survival data.

2.Great rivers can regulate the climate, which is very important for people who were not very capable of transforming nature in ancient times.

3.Alluvial fans are easy to form around the river, and the terrain is flat, which is conducive to urban development and infrastructure construction.

4.Convenient transportation.

5.Convenient for military defense.
