Historical figures about the Yellow River in 100 words

Hebo Fengyi was ordered to govern the Yellow River, but he did not cure the Yellow River all his life, and when he was old, he waded through mountains and rivers, inspected the water situation, drew a picture of the water situation of the Yellow River, and went through a lot of hardships, found Dayu, and handed over the water situation map to him. According to the picture given to him by Hebo, Dayu dredged the waterway and finally managed the Yellow River.

There was a young man named Huang He, who was extremely brave. A woman who fell in love with a rich man. But the woman's father looked down on him, so he made things difficult for him at every turn.

Once he shot an arrow at the woman's father, but he missed, because he never missed it, so he went to the mountains to cultivate. An accidental shot down a bird, and the bird told him that the girl had committed suicide. The young man was very sad, so his tears kept staying, forming the Yellow River that is now rolling.

Legend has it that many years ago, the Yellow River broke its mouth here. It took years of hard work to close the breach. Many of the people who blocked the embankment were disaster victims, and they had already been homeless, and when the Yellow River water was blocked, some simply did not leave, and lived in the temporary hermitage built when the embankment was blocked.

They cultivated the land here, started a family and raised children, and gradually there were more people, and it became a village, named Guijiazhuang. After a few more years, the dry water from Xingyang flowed into the Yellow River here. As a result, there are more people coming and going from north to south, and it has become a lively place.

The Yellow River is the second longest river in China, the fifth longest river in the world, and the river with the highest sediment content in the world. It is known as the "mother river" of China.

Yellow River: With a total length of 5,464 kilometers and a basin area of 752,443 square kilometers, it is the second largest river in China after the Yangtze River. 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.

However, in Chinese history, human civilization along the Yellow River basin has had a great impact and is one of the most important birthplaces of the Chinese nation, so the Chinese generally call it the "mother river". The Yellow River is the second longest river in China, the fifth longest river in the world, and the river with the highest sediment content in the world. The Yellow River flows through nine provinces and meanders through northern China.

Looking down from the sky, it is very much like a huge "several" character, and faintly like the unique totem --- dragon of our nation. The source is located in the Yaradazai Peak of the Bayan Kala Mountains in Qinghai, with a main stream length of 4,675 kilometers and an average flow of cubic meters per second, which flows into the Bohai Sea in Kenli County, Dongying City, Shandong Province. The dividing point between the upper and middle reaches is Hekou Town in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and the boundary point between the middle and lower reaches is Jiumengjin in Henan Province.

The estuary of the Yellow River is 1,500 meters wide, generally 500 meters, only 50 meters in the narrower places, the water depth is generally meters, and the depth in some places is only meters. The Yellow River originates from the Bayankala Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and its main stream runs through nine provinces and autonomous regions: Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, and flows into the Bohai Sea.

The annual runoff is 57.4 billion cubic meters, and the average runoff depth is 77 mm. However, the amount of water is not as large as the Pearl River, there are 35 major tributaries along the way, the larger tributaries are in the upper reaches, there are Huangshui and Tao rivers, in the middle reaches there are Qingshui River, Fen River, Wei River, Qin River, and in the lower reaches there are Yi River and Luo River. The lower reaches of the Yellow River basin are small because of the lack of lakes on both sides and the high riverbeds, and the few rivers that flow into the Yellow River.

The Yellow River is 3,472 kilometers long from its source to Hekou Town, Tuoketuo County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The middle reaches are from Hekou Town to Taohuayu in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, with a river length of 1,206 kilometers; The lower reaches of Taohuayu are 786 kilometers long. The Yellow River runs through the east and west of China, with a basin of 1,900 kilometers long from east to west and 1,100 kilometers wide from north to south, with a total area of 752443 square kilometers.

The Yellow River, like a lion with its back raised and its head ready to leap, crosses the lofty mountains and mountains of Qinghai and Gansu provinces from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau; the Hetao Plain across Ningxia and Inner Mongolia; galloping in the high mountains and deep valleys between Jin and Shaanxi; Break through the "dragon gate", turn around at the foot of Xiyuehua Mountain, cross the North China Plain, and rush to the shore of the Bohai Sea. It flows through 9 provinces and regions, brings together more than 40 major tributaries and more than 1,000 streams, travels 5,464 kilometers, and covers a basin area of more than 750,000 square kilometers, making it the second longest river in China. The average annual precipitation of the whole basin is about 400 mm, and the average annual runoff of the Yellow River is only 57.4 billion cubic meters, ranking eighth among Chinese rivers.

In the basin, together with the downstream Henan and Shandong riverside areas, there are more than 200 million acres of cultivated land and about 100 million people.

The average annual natural runoff of the Yellow River is 58 billion cubic meters, the average annual runoff depth is 77 mm, the per capita water volume of the basin is 593 cubic meters, and the average water volume per mu of cultivated land is 324 cubic meters.

The middle reaches of the Yellow River flow through the Loess Plateau, and due to soil erosion, the tributaries bring in a lot of sediment, making the Yellow River the river with the most sediment content in the world. The maximum annual sediment transport reached 100 million tons (1933), and the highest sediment content was 920 kilograms and cubic meters (1977). The average sediment transport capacity of Sanmenxia Station is about 1.6 billion tons for many years, and the average sediment content is 35 kilograms of cubic meters.

The story of Dayu's water control.

Legend has it that during the reign of Emperor Yao, floods in the Yellow River basin were frequent. In order to stop the flooding and protect agricultural production, Emperor Yao once convened a meeting of tribal leaders to solicit water control experts to quell the floods. Kun was recommended to take charge of this work.

After accepting the task, Kun used embankments to block the water and make a city of three people, that is, to use simple embankments to enclose the residential area to prevent flooding, but after nine years without success, he was finally banished to Hayama and died. After Emperor Shun succeeded to the throne, he appointed Kun's son Yu to control the water. Yu summed up his father's experience in water control, and changed the method of "encircling and blocking obstacles" to "dredging and channeling stagnation", which is to use the natural trend of water flowing from high to low to dredge the congested river along the terrain.

Floodwaters were channeled into dredged rivers, depressions, or lakes, and then connected to the seas, thus calming the floods and allowing people to move back to Pingchuan from the highlands to live and engage in agricultural production. Later, Yu became the first king of the Xia Dynasty, and was called "Shen Yu" and praised to future generations.

Dayu controls the water, the three countries do not enter, everyone knows Wang Jing to control the water: Wang Jing, the word Zhongtong, is knowledgeable, is a famous scholar at that time, especially good at water conservancy engineering technology. He had a relatively in-depth understanding of the benefits and disadvantages of controlling the Yellow River, so when Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty asked him about the management of the Yellow River, he answered like a stream, and won the appreciation of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, so he appointed him to govern the Yellow River in the area of Zhengzhou.

Wang Jing's control of the Yellow River is to carry out large-scale control projects on the new river channel, the main contents of which include the construction of embankments of the Yellow River and the Bianhe River, the construction of water diversion and water reduction gates, the improvement of river channels, and the implementation of river renovation, embankment construction, dredging and other projects. In this one-year construction of the Yellow River, hundreds of thousands of migrant workers were mobilized to make the new channel of the Yellow River, the Bianqu and the Jishui flow of water. After Wang Jing governed the Yellow River, until the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow River flowed smoothly for 800 years, and there were no major floods.

Wang Jing mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to control the Yellow River, and the construction period lasted for a year and cost countless people. Later generations gave a very high evaluation to Wang Jing's governance of the Yellow River, and it was called "Wang Jingzhi River" in history. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty commented:

Wang Jingzhi River) is a far-sighted map of the bottom of the world, and the restoration of Yu Hongye. "Compare Wang Jing with the ancient Dayu who controlled the water. Wei Yuan of the Qing Dynasty said in his "Guweitang Ji - Raising the River":

Wang Jingzhi River, thousands of years without trouble. It pointed out the happiness and tranquility brought to the people by Wang Jing's governance of the Yellow River. Wang Jing's control of the Yellow River was indeed an important practice in the history of the Yellow River, and good results were achieved.

From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the Anliu of the Yellow River is related to Wang Jingzhi River, Wang Jing systematically built the long Yellow River embankment from Xingyang in Zhengzhou to the mouth of the Yellow River in Shandong, stabilized the riverbed of the Yellow River after the breach in 11 A.D., and made the water flow of the Yellow River and the Bianhe River, the river does not invade the Bian, and the Bianshui can also flow peacefully and no longer flood. This new Yellow River embankment is the closest route to the sea in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and it is also an ideal route for flood and sediment discharge. At the same time, Wang Jing also erected a water gate every ten miles on the Yellow River, which played an important role in dividing the silt and reducing the flood.

After the success of Wang Jingzhi River, the flooded area around Zhengzhou became fertile land again, and the people praised it. In April of the thirteenth year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (70 AD), that is, the year when Wang Jing successfully governed the Yellow River, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty personally came to Xingyang, which is now Zhengzhou, to inspect the embankment of the Yellow River and understand the governance of the Yellow River. The thousand-mile Yellow River embankment began in Xingyang, Zhengzhou, and the safety of the Yellow River was related to Xingyang in Zhengzhou, and Wang Jing governed the Yellow River in Xingyang, Zhengzhou, which shows that Xingyang in Zhengzhou has an extremely important position in the history of water conservancy of the Yellow River.

After the Tang Dynasty, the siltation of the Yellow River accelerated, especially after the Five Dynasties, there were more records of the Yellow River bursting and flooding, and the flood control and management of the Yellow River entered a new historical period.

1. [Looking at the ocean and sighing] According to legend, a long time ago, the Yellow River.

There is a river god in it, who is called Hebo. He stood on the bank of the Yellow River. Looking at the right The water of the Yellow River flows from west to east, and said excitedly; "The Yellow River is so big, there is no river in the world that can compare with it.

I am the greatest god of water! Someone told him, "Your words are not right, there is a place called Beihai on the east side of the Yellow River, and that is really big."

He Bo said: "I don't believe it, no matter how big the Beihai is, can it be bigger than the Yellow River?" And the man said:

Not to mention a single Yellow River, even if the water of several Yellow Rivers flows into the Beihai, it is not enough to pretend to be it. He Bo never believed it. The man had no choice but to tell him:

If you have a chance to see Beihai, you will understand what I am saying. He Bo came to the mouth of the Yellow River, his eyes lit up, the sea god welcomed him with a smile, He Bo looked around, only to see the North Sea a vast ocean, boundless, he looked at it for a while, and said to Beihai Ruo with deep feelings: I only know some truths and think that no one can compare with myself, and this is what I said.

If I hadn't seen this Beihai with my own eyes today, I would have thought that the Yellow River is incomparable in the world! In that way, will it not be laughed at forever by those who are knowledgeable? ”

Jumping into the Yellow River can't be washed, to the Yellow River heart is not dead, not seeing the coffin tears, Dayu.
