    The Yellow River flows through Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong 9 provinces and autonomous regions, the Yellow River originates in the ancient Zonglie Basin at the northern foot of Bayan Kala Mountain on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and finally flows into the Bohai Sea, the Yellow River is one of the top ten longest rivers in the world, the second longest river in China, with a total length of about 5464 kilometers, is the Chinese civilization.

    The main birthplace.

    Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong have a total of nine. The middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River are mainly mountainous, and the middle and lower reaches are dominated by plains and hills. As the middle section of the river flows through the Loess Plateau of China.

    area, so it carries a lot 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.

    The Yellow River is the main birthplace of Chinese civilization, and the Chinese call it the "Mother River". Every year, 1.6 billion tons of sediment are carried, of which 1.2 billion tons flow into the sea, and the remaining 400 million tons remain in the lower reaches of the Yellow River for many years, forming an alluvial plain that is conducive to cultivation.

    The area above the Duoshi Gorge in Maduo County, Qinghai Province is the source area of the river, with an area of 10,000 square kilometers.

    It is a part of the Qinghai Plateau, which belongs to the wide valley zone of the lake basin and is above 4,200 meters above sea level. Around the basin, the mountains are majestic, there are Yaradaze Mountains in the west, Animaqing Mountains (also known as Jishi Mountain) in the east, Burhan Buda Mountains in the north, Bayan Kala Mountains and the Yangtze River Basin in the south.

    for the boundary. At the western end of the lake basin, there is the ancient Zonglie, which is the birthplace of the Yellow River.

    There are three branches above the Nakshatra Sea: Zhaqu, Yogu Zongliequ and Kari Song. Zaqu, located in the northernmost part of the country, originates in the Chahasira Mountains, with a length of 70 kilometers, a narrow channel, few tributaries, and limited water, and the flow is interrupted for most of the year.

    Yogu Zongliequ, located in the west of the Nakshatra Sea, is centered in the middle of the three upper sources, and originates from Yogulie.

    The southwest corner of the Zong Basin, with an altitude of 4,750 meters, has a very small amount of water, and is a small stream with a width of meters and a depth of meters. The southern tributary is the Kariqu, originates from the northern foot of the Bayan Kala Mountain branch of the various Zikoya Mountains, the altitude is 4800 meters, there are 5 springs gushing out from the valley, confluence into a small river with a width of about 3 meters, a depth of meters, and a flow rate of about 3 meters and seconds, and the river has water all year round.

    The earliest record of the source of the Yellow River is from the Warring States period.

    The "Shangshu Yugong" has the saying of "guiding the river and accumulating stones, as for the dragon gate". The "Jishi" referred to is near Xunhua Salar Autonomous County in Qinghai Province today, and there is still a considerable distance from the source of the river. Tang Taizong.

    In the ninth year of Zhenguan (635 AD), Hou Junji.

    He and Li Daozong were ordered to conquer Tuyuhun, and the soldiers were divided into Xingsu River (i.e., Xingsu Sea) and Dabaihai (i.e., Zhaling Lake) to look at Jishi Mountain and watch the source of the river. Tang Muzong.

    In the first year of Changqing (821 AD), Liu Yuanding was sent to Tibet, passing through Heyuan District, and learned that the source of the river came out of the Purple Mountain (that is, today's Bayan Kala Mountain).

    Formally sent personnel to survey the source of the river, in the Yuan Dynasty to the seventeenth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1280), the ancestor ordered Ronglu Gongdu to be a solicitor, Peijin Tiger Fu, to seek the source of the river, lasted 4 months, to find out the location of the two lakes (the Yuan history called "Erjuze", collectively called "Aranaoer"), and traced back to the sea of stars, and then drew the earliest map of the source area of the Yellow River.

    The provinces and cities through which the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River flow include Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Shaanxi Province, Shanxi Province, Henan Province, and Shandong Province.

    The Yellow River, known as the "Mother River of China", is the second longest river in China. The Yellow River is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower, of which the middle and upper reaches are mostly mountainous, and the middle and lower reaches are mostly plains and hills.

    The Yellow River has two demarcation points, of which the dividing point between the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River is Hekou Town in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and the dividing point between the middle and lower reaches is Taohuayu in Henan Province.

    The Yellow River originates in the Bayankala Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

    The Yogu Zonglie Basin at the northern foot flows through nine provinces (autonomous regions) of Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong from west to east, and finally flows into the Bohai Sea. Precipitation in the basin.

    It is small, mainly dryland agriculture, dry in winter and dry in spring, and precipitation is concentrated in summer, autumn, July and August.

    The Yellow River flows through the Loess Plateau in China due to the middle section of the river.

    The area, because of which it carries a large amount of sediment, is known as the river with the highest sediment content in the world. But in Chinese history, the lower reaches of the Yellow River were diverted to human civilization.

    The impact has been huge.

    The six provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi Province, Shanxi Province, Henan Province, Hebei Province and Shandong Province. The Yellow River is one of the longest rivers in the world and the second longest river in China. The source of the Yellow River is in Hekou Town, Tuoketuo County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

    The Yellow River from Hekou Town to Taohuayu in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province is the middle reach, and Taohuayu to the estuary is the lower reaches.

    The Yellow River originates in the ancient Zonglie Basin at the northern foot of Bayankala Mountain on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, flows from west to east through nine 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.

    The Yellow River belongs to the Pacific Ocean system. The main stream is mostly curved, known as the "Nine Curves of the Yellow River", and the actual flow of the river is twice the straight-line distance from the source of the river to the estuary. There are many tributaries of the Yellow River, from the source of the river to the mouth of the sea, directly flowing into the Yellow River along the way, and there are 220 tributaries with a basin area of more than 100 square kilometers, forming the Yellow River water system.

    The boundary point between the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River is the estuary of Inner Mongolia, and the boundary point between the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River is the old Mengjin in Henan.

    Therefore, the provinces and cities located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River include Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong.

    Note: The lower reaches of the Yellow River are "above-ground rivers", and the downstream basin area is very narrow, so the lower reaches of the Yellow River do not flow through Hebei Province. Therefore, there are only five provinces and regions in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River: Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong.

    Yellow River: The source - the mouth of the river is the upper reach.

    The estuary - the old Mengjin is the middle reach.

    The lower reaches of the old Mengjin are downstream.

    From the source to the estuary, the river state, riverbed, slope and flow all have certain change dam laws. Therefore, in order to rationally develop and utilize water resources and water resources, develop water transportation and urban construction, they are usually divided into upstream, middle and lower reaches. The criteria are often different, but most of them are based on river topography, river channel characteristics and hydrological conditions.

    The Yellow River is 5,464 kilometers long and is the second largest river in China. For the Yellow River, it is divided into upper, middle and lower reaches according to the natural environment and hydrological conditions of the area through which the river flows.

    The middle reaches of the Yellow River are 1,234 kilometers, from Hekou Town in Tuoketuo County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to Taohuayu in Zhengzhou, Henan. The hydrological characteristics of this section of the river: due to the heavy rain in summer and autumn, abundant sand sources, abundant water and sand, large peak flow and high sediment content, it has become a world-famous sandy river.

    Siltation and erosion of the river channel alternate with canyons and wide valleys.

    The lower reaches of the Yellow River are 767 kilometers, from Taohuayu in Zhengzhou, Henan Province to Kenli County, Shandong Province, and flow through the North China Plain from west to east. The slope of the river is small and the water flow is gentle. In addition, the river channel is wide and shallow, the sediment is seriously silted, the riverbed is gradually raised, and the banks are almost completely protected by embankments.

    The beach surface of the river is generally about 2-5 meters higher than the ground on both banks, and some are as high as 10 meters, which is the world's famous "hanging river".

    The above is the division plan of the Yellow River Water Conservancy Commission, and it is also the scheme commonly adopted. In addition, there is also an opinion that the source of the river to Longyang Gorge (or Liujiaxia) is the upstream, Longyang Gorge (or Liujiaxia) to Huayuankou is the middle reach, and the lower reaches of Huayuankou are downstream. There is also an opinion that from the source of the river to the town of Hekou is the upstream, the town of the mouth of the river to Sanmenxia is the middle reach, and the lower part of the Sanmenxia is the downstream.
