I. The World's Fifth Longest River
The Yellow River, the world's fifth-longest river, is a 5,464-kilometer-long river that flows sinuously in the north of China. From a high altitude, it looks like a huge "several" character, and it is the unique totem of our nation.
Second, the Yellow River's character
It is not just a big river. Yellow River, yellow land, the emperor, yellow skin, all of these yellow symbols, the flow through the heart of China's turbid flow sublimated into a holy river. The Book of Han. Ditch and moat Zhi" on the Yellow River as the first of the hundred rivers: "China's source of a hundred, not in the four blasphemies, and the river for the Zong."
Three, loess wind into said
In the long ago geological era, inland Asia's desert Gobi, all over the sand and gravel in the sudden cold and heat of the harsh environment was fragmented and crushed, until the formation of powder. Inland prevailing northwestern air currents, for years and years to blow them to the east, coarse sand fell on the Mongolian Plateau, the most delicate powder with the wind drifting down to today's Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Qinghai, Ningxia, Henan 6 provinces. Millions of years of handling and accumulation, finally formed a Great Wall in the north, south to the Qinling Mountains, west to the Sun and Moon Mountains, east to the Taihang Mountains of the Loess Plateau.
Four, deep and vast loess layer
This is an unparalleled loess, which covers an area of 410,000 square kilometers, loess covers a thickness of generally more than 100 meters. And Longdong, Shaanxi, Jinxi and other places, loess as deep as 100 to 200 meters, Lanzhou area is thicker than 300 meters.
Five, six thousand years ago in the Garden of Eden
Botanists have found that although the Loess Plateau precipitation is not as abundant as in the south, but the loss of nutrients from the leaching is also less suitable for poplar, birch, oak, pine, spruce, and date, yellow thorns and other growth. At that time, the luxuriant vegetation nourished a warm and rainy Garden of Eden. Today, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and other provinces have large tracts of virgin forests. Henan Province, in the center of the country, is called "Yu" for short, showing that in the time of Cangjie's creation of characters, it was still a place infested with elephants.
Sixth, the foundation of historical prosperity
Geologists found that the loess has excellent solubility, suitable for digging kilns to live in; agronomists found that the loess is rich in various minerals and nutrients, and has a high degree of natural fertility. Gradually, the ancestors dug kilns on the loess to live, planting grains for a living. 5,000 years ago, the emperor, Emperor Yandi's tribe flourished, and the footprints of the ancestors of China's ancestors stepped all over the loess. In the days that followed, China's first dynasty, the Xia, flourished here, the 800-year-old Zhou dynasty originated here, and the Qin empire, which swept the six kingdoms and unified the world, flourished here.
Seven, the enlightenment of civilization in ancient times
In the human activity site of Ruicheng Xihoudu in Shanxi, more than 1.6 million years ago, people found fossils of animals burned by fire and antlers, and in the human site of Lantian in Shanxi, one million years ago, people found a number of accumulations of carbon powder.
Since then, the Lantian people, the Dali people, the Dingcun people, and the Hetao people, have all flourished in the arms of the Yellow River. It was not until 6,000 years ago that the matrilineal clan culture, represented by the Half-slope Civilization, emerged on the Yellow Land.
Our ancestors spent the golden childhood of Chinese civilization hunting and gathering in such a green field.
Eight, the historical account of the transformation of nature
Here is indeed the earliest bathed in the light of civilization, here is inevitably the earliest was subjected to the fire of civilization. Ancient legend has it that Shennong taught the people to gather crops. What's intriguing is that Shennong was the god of fire, and what he taught was actually to burn the forests and cultivate the land.
Meng Zi recorded the "achievements" of the three emperors in burning the mountains and forests: "At the time of Yao, the grass and trees were flourishing, and the animals and birds were multiplying. When the grass and trees flourished, the beasts and birds multiplied, the grains did not grow, and the beasts and birds forced their way in...". Yao was alone in his concern, and he raised Shun to rule the country. Shun made Yi take charge of the fire. The mountains and swamps were burned, and the beasts and birds fled."
In the Book of Songs, we hear the chanting of the first people as they cut down: "Kan Kan cuts down sandalwood, and places it in the river's dryness, where the water is clear and ripples."" Felling trees tinkling, birds calling."
Nine: The first major loss of vegetation on the Loess Plateau
Shih Huangdi united the six kingdoms, and a large number of people moved into Guanzhong, increasing the area under cultivation. At the same time, he built palaces and mausoleums, and cut down the forests in the mountains of Guanzhong. In the 33rd year of Emperor Shi Huangdi's reign (214 B.C.E.), Mengtian routed the Xiongnu and gained a large portion of land in the Hetao region, and then carried out the settlement and garrisoning, and emigrated to the Ordos Plateau region several times, with hundreds of thousands of immigrants at any one time, so that the original endless grassland was turned into an area of agricultural cultivation.
Ten, the Loess Plateau forests for the second time suffered great loss
Western Han Dynasty, the world's great governance, China's population surged to 60 million. Migration to the northwest became the main means of solving the pressure of population expansion, and during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty alone, more than 700,000 people migrated to the northwestern border. The Western Han Dynasty drove the Xiongnu to the far north of the desert and transformed a large area of forest and pasture into a farming area. The Western Han's development of the Yellow River irrigation project in the Hetao region came at the cost of the destruction of the Helan Mountain forests in Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, and the forests of northern Shaanxi.
11. The Loess Plateau forests suffered a third major loss
The Tang Dynasty, at the beginning of its existence, made great efforts to improve its economy, which recovered rapidly. Because of its economic, trade and diplomatic center are partial to the northwest, and thus the northwestern region of the Tuen Mun reclamation to engage in a good deal. The forest and pasture areas of the Loess Plateau opened up large tracts of farmland, and hundreds of thousands of mu of land were reclaimed. Each person cultivated two or three hundred mu of land, planting widely and earning little, resulting in extensive destruction of vegetation.
Changan, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was the center of the Huangtu land. At the height of the Tang Dynasty, the country's power was at its peak, and of course, the city was built on a scale never seen before, consuming countless tons of wood. Just near Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty, in addition to Baoji, Meixian, Zhouzhi, Tuxian and other neighboring mountain logging, but also far to Qishan, Longshan and then Lanzhou (now Lanxian), Shengzhou (now Inner Mongolia Elder Plateau area) to pick up.
Twelve, Loess Plateau forests for the fourth time suffered great loss
Song dynasty capital Kaifeng, because Luoyang near the Yellow River north and south of the mountain range has been cut down, had to go as far as Lvliang Mountain logging, the upper reaches of the Weihe River forests at that time also suffered a storm of robberies. History shows that the Northern Song Dynasty, just after the founding of the country, went on a logging spree between Qin and Long. The forests of the Qinling, Ziwuling, and Luoshan Mountains in Shaanxi, Helan Mountains and Daban Mountains in Ningxia, and Numa River and Longnan Mountains in Gansu were successively destroyed. Song Dynasty officials and merchants Every year only from the Shaanxi and Gansu Longshan will pick up more than 10,000 large wood, and even make the city of Kaifeng at that time, good wood piles, private merchants to sell wood is countless.
Thirteen, the Loess Plateau forests for the fifth time by the great loss
Ming Dynasty heavy northwest, attaching importance to Tuentian, so as to Tuentian army, to the army under the people. At that time, "Tuentian all over the world", "and the northwest for the most". The beginning of the Ming stationed in Yanmen, the Great Wall near the bioguan, where the mountains are craggy, lush forests, "people fresh path, ride can not enter". By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing's high-ranking officials and dignitaries, border generals, local residents, the group cut down, "hundreds of groups, thousands of neighbors, can not be expelled, prohibited from". The annual trafficking of trees to Beijing alone, not under a million roots.
Fourteenth, the Loess Plateau forests for the sixth time by the great loss
Manchurian Qing Dynasty, just a few decades of rest and recuperation, the population increased from 80 million to 200 million. North China, Jiangnan overcrowded, so a large number of displaced persons spontaneously flocked to the northwest. The Loess Plateau has once again become the hardest-hit area of destruction, praying for the Lianshan Mountain, Liupan Mountain, before the Ming Dynasty, there are still huge trees in the sky, at this time, it has become completely bare mountains.
Fifteen, six thousand years later, today's forests from 69% to 6%
Six thousand years later, today's forests from 69% to 6% has become a veritable piece of loess. The loess itself is loose and has no resistance to erosion, and relies entirely on ground vegetation and its root system for protection. The soil and water conservation effect of plants is greatest in forests, second in grasslands, and almost nil in crops. For thousands of years, we have been sweeping away the natural vegetation that protects and replacing it with crops that do not.
Sixteen, woo-hoo! The Yellow River!
Woo-hoo! For thousands of years, we have been destroying the natural vegetation of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River by sword, axe and fire. I marvel at the countless magnificent temples that have been created by cutting down the forests, but where are they now?
The yellow earth is deep and fragile. Because it is loose soil, fine particles, vegetation, once destroyed, soil erosion is extremely serious. Soon we heard the mournful sigh: "Once the river is clear, how long will people live?"
Seventeen, the loess plateau vegetation destruction gully deep
Currently on the plateau length of more than 1 kilometer gully more than 300,000, 1 kilometer below the branch ditch, hair ditch is countless. A gully's final destination is the Yellow River, and they keep cutting the Loess Plateau, becoming the main source of sediment for the Yellow River.
Eighteen, loess plateau vegetation destruction, ecological environment is not what it used to be
Walking in what we call the Loess Plateau today, full of jagged, cracked and fragmented loess, there are no trees, and even no grass, how many people have sighed y: human ancestors, how can in such a poor natural environment, to give birth to such a brilliant civilization?
What they don't realize is that until 6,000 years ago, green was the dominant color here, when the forest cover here was as high as 69 percent.
Nineteen, a rainstorm terrain changes
With the decline in vegetation cover, the plateau river gullies cut strongly, in the upward extension of the same time, the two sides are also widening, and the development of the branch gully, the branch gully and developed into hairy gully. Such changes often take only a few years, months, days or even after a rainstorm to complete, so the Loess Plateau is also known as the world's most rapid topographic changes.
Twenty, 1.6 billion tons of sediment yearly 90% from the Loess Plateau
1.6 billion tons of sediment yearly, 90% from the Loess Plateau of these gullies. The annual loss of 1.6 billion tons of soil, not just a river into a shocking yellow. It goes down with the water, silting up the lakes, dashing the hills, raising the riverbed, cleansing the plains.
Twenty-one, three years, two breaks, a hundred years of diversion
The Yellow River is tyrannical day by day, "three years, two breaks, a hundred years of a major diversion," the mother river has finally become "China's worries". With the Yellow River flooding struggle, became the central plains of the survival of the top priority.
22, guarding the Yellow River water shortage, Zhengzhou can be a case for the middle reaches
Zhengzhou was originally due to the water and the rise, it is adjacent to the Yellow River, and the Jialu River, Xiong'er River, the Jinshui River from the city flowed through. But with the huge development of agriculture and industry, pollution is increasing, water diversion channels crisscrossing the three once flowing rivers have dried up. By the 1970s, Zhengzhou had become totally dependent on the Yellow River for its water supply.
Twenty-three, Shandong water shortage, the closer the Yellow River, the more water shortage
Shandong's water resources situation is even more tense, the population and arable land accounted for the country's 7.2% and 7.3%, while the total amount of water resources accounted for only 1.2% of the country. Per capita water resources only 300 cubic meters, is the national per capita level of 13.3%. The amount of water per hectare of arable land is 4560 cubic meters, which is 17.3% of the national level. The closer to the Yellow River, the more water resources shortage, to the Yellow River along the runoff depth down to only 60 millimeters, to the northwest of the Linqing, Guanxian area only 25 millimeters.

The Yellow River at night
[Ming] Li Liufang
The night of the Yellow River under the bright moon, the cold sands are like the battlefield.
The river is running, and the plains are endless.
The book of Wu Hui is hard to reach, but the road of Yantai is long.
The man has been a guest for a long time, but he does not know where he is from.
Crossing the Yellow River
[Ming] Xie Hazel
The road leads out of Daliang City, and the Guanhe River opens up at dawn.
The sun turns over the dragon's cave, and the wind sweeps away the wild goose sand.
Leaning on the sword, the sails are open for traveling.
The sound of hitchhiking and singing in the empty space is unknown.
Crossing the Yellow River

and the water was like a string in the east of Changhuai.
Waves and sand
The Yellow River is a river of 10,000 miles of sand,
and the waves and winds are from the end of the world.
Now I'm going up to the Milky Way,

The Yellow River falls to the sky and goes to the East China Sea, and ten thousand miles are written in the bosom. （
Wang Zhilu said: The Yellow River is far away from the white clouds, a lonely city of 10,000 feet of mountains. The Qiang flute does not need to complain about the willow, the spring breeze does not pass the Jade Gate Gate. （The Yellow River flows into the sea. The Yellow River flows into the sea. I want to see a thousand miles, but I want to go up one floor. The boatmen carry tens of millions of fine cloths, but the boatmen are not covered by their rags. They carry ten million tons of grain, but the boatmen can only chew on chaff buns. Warlords and bosses get rich, but the Yellow River boatmen are poor for generations."

Folktales related to the Yellow River:
Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the ancient Yellow River was a wild horse that was hard to be tamed, running at will as if it were a monster showing its teeth, roaring day and night, heaving endlessly, devouring ten thousand hectares of good land. Biting into the ten million mountains, the Huihan people on both sides of the Yellow River can only be in the tip of the mountain, the bottom of the ditch to live a slash-and-burn life.
At that time, Ningxia was not a flat plain on the river, but overlapping green hills, gullies and ravines, with not a single flat field, nor a single field that could be irrigated with the Yellow River water.
Legend has it that there are a few families of Huihui and Han people living on the Niushou Mountain, and they are the oldest generations of people picking water at the bottom of the mountain and planting on the hill. Old and small busy, but not enough to eat, wear not ambiguous, day after day, who can not withstand this torture.
One year, a seventy-year-old Hui Hui, named Erde, in the mountains opened a melon and fruit garden, planted some cucumbers. He got up early every morning and went to the Yellow River to pick up water to water the cucumbers, his shoulders were swollen, the soles of his feet were skinned, and he carefully nursed the cucumbers, which grew tender and sweet.
On this day the old man of Erde was tired and lay down on the vegetable garden gate and fell asleep.
He had just fallen asleep when he dreamed that a white cloud floated in the sky, which gradually turned into a white-bearded imam, shaking his silver beard, and said to Elder Old Man: "There are two gales today. At noon is a yellow wind that will wilt the cucumbers; in the morning there is a black wind that will cause the cucumbers to drop their tips. No matter how strong the wind, you should not pick the cucumbers off.
The old man woke up and saw that the white-bearded imam was gone, but he saw that the yellow wind from the north covered the sky, and in a flash it blew to Niushoushan. Elder old man carefully look at the cucumber, really a wilted, his heart is very sad, a year's blood and sweat for nothing, but remembered the white-bearded imam's words, it did not move.
In the morning, a black wind, blowing the mountain shaking the ground, the leaves fall layer after layer. The cucumbers were about to fall to the ground, and he was so angry that he took off a wilted and small cucumber and threw it into the Yellow River with all his might. The Yellow River immediately broke a line. Like a fairy with a knife cut, clearly see the bottom of the river, Elder old man down to pounce, the river "wow" and together. The old man is tired and hungry, sitting on the riverbank, blinking, golden flowers dancing, dizzy dizzy what do not know.
Then, Erde old man heard the white-bearded imam said, "This cucumber is the key to conquer the Yellow River, it can be called the Yellow River to cut off the flow of the Yellow River can also be called the Yellow River to listen to the words of people. But now the Yellow River has been tormented by the two Iblis, the Yellow Wind and the Black Wind. You can't be in a hurry, you have to be patient and put in more effort. Next year, you will plant a garden of cucumbers, and when they are ripe, you will pick the biggest one and throw it into the Yellow River. At that time, you go into the hole at the bottom of the river, and the jewels will be picked by you, and the grain seeds will be taken by you, and there will be a precious sword to cut down the dragon and kill the demon, and tame the Yellow River, and wherever you point it, the water of the Yellow River will flow to."
The next year, the industrious Erde old man planted another garden of cucumbers, he was not afraid of the road, not sweat, from the Yellow River to pick water to water the melon. The work is not to be disappointed, and finally, the garden bore a three-foot-long cucumber that grew like a key. The old man was so happy that he slept in the melon garden day and night until the melon was ripe.
On this day, the weather was so clear that there was not a single cloud. The old man took off the three-foot-long cucumber, recited "Taismi" and threw it into the Yellow River. At that moment, the Yellow River roared, cracked a long slit and the rocks at the bottom of the river could be seen clearly. Erde old man down to the bottom of the river, see against the river bank there is a hole, the hole in the pearl agate everything. The old man took some, just to go out, heard a storm roar, a moment on the river rolling waves, a wave higher than a wave. Elder old man picked up the sword to the black whirlwind and yellow whirlwind around dozens of fierce chopping sword. A moment later, the black wind and the yellow wind blew out of the sky.
At this time, the broken seam of the Yellow River gradually closed tightly. The old man remembered the white-bearded imam's instruction that this sword could conquer the Yellow River, and his heart brightened, thinking: I will tell the Yellow River to fill up the trenches and silt the mountains and beams. The old man holding two swords, to the Yellow River slashed down, the Yellow River water immediately does not flow, as if the front blocked a Great Wall, just section of the rise, from a distance to see really afraid of people.
Three days later, south to Liupan Mountain, west to Helan Mountain, everywhere is water, leaving only a few mountain tip. Only then did Old Man Elder draw his sword and tell the Yellow River to flow forward.
From then on, Ningxia, with its big mountains and deep ravines, turned into a flat river, and the Hui and Han people living on both sides of the Yellow River relied on their own hard-working hands to open canals and make fields, and lived a happy life.
Myths and legends:
Da Yu had three treasures when he ruled the Yellow River, one was the river map; the second was the axe for opening up the mountain; and the third was the sword for avoiding water. Legend has it that the river map was granted to Dayu by Hebo, the god of the Yellow River waters.
Anciently, there was a man named Feng Yi in Tongxiang, Huayin, who did not feel at ease with farming and wanted to become an immortal. He heard that a person could be transformed into an immortal body by drinking the juice of daffodil flowers for a hundred days. So he went around looking for daffodils.
Before Dayu ruled over the Yellow River, the Yellow River flowed into the Central Plains without a fixed channel, roaming everywhere and often flooding. The ground was full of water from the Yellow River, and the ditches were full of water from the Yellow River. Feng Yi hither and thither to find daffodils, often across the Yellow River, across the Yellow River, across the Yellow River, often dealing with the Yellow River. After ninety-nine days, and then find a daffodil flower, sucking the juice of daffodil flowers for a day, you can become 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 trips across the river, to the middle of the river, suddenly the river rises. He panicked, his feet slipped, fell into the Yellow River, and was drowned alive.
After Feng Yi's death, he was full of grievances and hated the Yellow River with all his teeth, so he went to the Jade Emperor to sue the Yellow River. The Jade Emperor heard that the Yellow River has no one to control, flowing everywhere, endangering the people, also very annoyed. He saw that Feng Yi had sucked the juice of narcissus for 99 days and should become immortal, so he asked Feng Yi if he would like to be the god of the Yellow River and rule the Yellow River. Feng Yi was overjoyed. Full of promise. This will fulfill his wish to become an immortal, and will avenge the drowning.
Feng Yi became the water god of the Yellow River and was called He Bo. He has never been a matter of water management, all of a sudden took up the responsibility of governing the Yellow River, helpless, worried. What should he do? He was shallow, and there was nothing magic magic, so he had to go to the Jade Emperor again to ask for advice. The Jade Emperor told him, to manage the Yellow River, the first thing you need to do is to find out the water conditions of the Yellow River, draw a river map, there is a river map of the Yellow River as the basis for the management of the Yellow River will save a lot of trouble.
Hebel, according to the Jade Emperor's instructions, was determined to draw a river map, he first went to his hometown, trying to find the villagers to help. The townspeople hated him for his good nature and no one answered him. He found an old man in the village and told him about his ambition to control the Yellow River. Seeing that he had now become an immortal and wanted to do something good for the people, he agreed to help him. From then on, He Bo and Hou Lao Han traveled in the wind and rain, trekking over the mountains to check the condition of the Yellow River. The two ran for several years, but the old man after the tired and sick. After the old man can only go back, the rest of the Hebo continue along the Yellow River to see the water. After the old man told the river again and again, after the officer to do to the end, do not stop halfway, draw a good map on the hands of the Yellow River management, manpower is not enough, he persuaded the townspeople to help.
Checking the water conditions and drawing the river map is a hard job. When the river map was drawn, the river was already old and weak. Hebo looked at the river map, the Yellow River, where deep, where shallow; where good punch dike, where easy to break; where the digging, where the plug; where the water can be cut off, where the flood can be drained, drawing a clear picture. I only sigh that I don't have the energy to manage the Yellow River according to the map, very sad. Hebo thought, one day there will be a capable person to manage the Yellow River, at that time, the river map awarded to him, also counted himself not a waste of effort.
The riverbo lived out his old age under the Yellow River and never showed his face again. Unexpectedly, the Yellow River rose continuously and flooded repeatedly. The people knew that the Jade Emperor had sent He Bo to control the water, but they did not see him, and they scolded He Bo for not doing his duty and not caring about the people.
After the old man in his sick bed every day looking forward to the river uncle, a number of years do not meet. He was uneasy about the management of the Yellow River, and wanted to go to see the River Chief. His son's name was Yi, and he was an excellent archer. No matter what Hou Lao Han said, Yi wouldn't let him go to find He Bo. The old man did not listen to his son's advice, but when the Yellow River burst, he was swept away and drowned, and his body was not even found. Hou Yi hated He Bo so much that he gritted his teeth and said that sooner or later he would shoot He Bo to death.
Later, when it was time for Dayu to come out to rule the water, Hebo decided to give him the map of the Yellow River.
On this day, when He Bo heard that Dayu had come to the Yellow River with a mountain-opening axe and a water-avoiding sword, he came out from under the water with the river map and looked for Dayu. Hebo and Dayu had never met and did not recognize anyone. Hebo had been walking for half a day and was so tired that he was about to take a rest when he saw a young man walking on the other side of the river. The young man was so handsome and majestic that he thought he must be Dayu, so He Bo shouted and asked, "Hey, who are you?"
The young man on the other side of the river was not Dayu, but Hou Yi. He looked up and saw an immortal old man shouting from the other side of the river and asked, "Who are you?"
The River Bo said in a loud voice, "I am the River Bo. Are you Da Yu?"
Hou Yi, upon hearing that it was He Bo, burst into a rage, sneered, and said, "I am Da Yu." Then he opened his bow and shot an arrow into the left eye of He Bo without asking any questions. Hebo pulled out the arrow and covered his eye, sweating from the pain. In his heart, he cursed, "Bastard Dayu, so unreasonable!" The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so he went to tear up the water map. At this moment, a loud shout came from him, "He Bo! Don't tear the map." He Bo endured the pain and looked with his right eye to see a man wearing a bucket hat on the opposite bank, stopping Hou Yi. This man was Dayu, who knew that He Bo had drawn a map of the Yellow River and was about to ask He Bo for advice. Hou Yi pushed Da Yu away and tried to raise his bow again. When Dayu pulled him back, he told him the story of how He Bo had drawn the picture, and Hou Yi regretted that he had shot He Bo blind in the left eye.
Hou Yi traveled with Dayu across the river. Hou Yi admitted his fault to He Bo. He Bo realized that Hou Yi was the son of Hou Lao Han and did not blame him much. Da Yu said to He Bo, "I am Da Yu, and I have come here to seek your advice on how to rule the Yellow River."
He Bo said, "My heart and soul and the way to rule the river are all on this map, now grant it to you."
Da Yu took a look at the map and saw that the map was densely packed with circles and dots, and the water conditions of the Yellow River up and down, left, right and left were clearly drawn. He was very happy. He wanted to thank He Bo, but when he looked up, He Bo jumped into the Yellow River and disappeared.
Da Yu got the map of the Yellow River, and worked day and night according to the instructions on the map, and finally cured the Yellow River.
