What are the legends of the stars?

Xinghai is located at the source of the Yellow River, with Zhaling Lake in the east and Maqu at the head of the Yellow River in the west. Xinghai District is more than 4000 meters above sea level, much higher than Mount Tai, the head of the Five Mountains. Xinghai is called "Cuocha" in Tibetan, which means "Huahaizi". The terrain here is a long and narrow basin, which is more than 30 kilometers long from east to west and 10 kilometers wide from north to south. The water from the Yellow River came here. Because of the gentle terrain, the river suddenly widened and the flow rate slowed down. Rivers flowing everywhere have formed vast swamps and countless lakes here. In this small basin, there are hundreds of lakes of different sizes and shapes dotted around. The big one is several hundred square meters, and the small one is only a few square meters. Looking up, these lakes shine like stars in the night sky, and the name of Xinghai probably comes from this.

Historical records of Zhenguan period in Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, Hou, Li Daozong, etc. He once "traveled to Dabaihai in Sichuan, looked at Jishishan and looked at Heyuan." Xinghai has been called the source of the Yellow River since the Tang and Song Dynasties. After the envoys of the Yuan Dynasty were actually ordered to survey Heyuan, they said that Heyuan was "in the west of Gagan Temple" and that "there are more than a hundred springs, or the springs are flowing and the water is falling, which can reach 70 or 80 miles, and the mud is drowned, so it is not allowed to enter. You can stare at it, look down at the mountains and look at the stars. " You are talking about Xinghai. It was not until the Qing dynasty envoy Laxi that Amitabha crossed the western Xinghai. After on-the-spot investigation, it is considered that Ali Tanguole River (now Kaliqu) is the upstream source of the Yellow River. Countless lakes and swamps in Xinghai are dazzling in the sun, just like proud peacocks, very beautiful and spectacular. Therefore, Tibetan compatriots call the birthplace of the Yellow River Maqu, which means Peacock River. On the starry green beach, there are clusters of purple mountain Zi Yuan, Huangguanju, Pedicularis farinosa, spotted plum, primrose and Chinese milk vetch. On the hillside, wild yaks, Tibetan antelopes and other groups wander at will; In the stream, the spotted geese and yellow ducks play in the water, and the scalless yellow croaker swims in groups. It's really beautiful.

The three tributaries of Xinghai Shangyuan are Zhaqu, Yuegu Zonglie and Kariqu. Zhaqu, located in the northernmost part, originated in Cha Hasila Mountain. This river is 70 kilometers long and narrow, with few tributaries and limited water, and it is cut off for most of the year. Yoguliequ is located in the west of Xinghai, among the three upstream sources, and originated in the southwest corner of Yoguliezong Basin, with an altitude of 4,750 meters. The water volume is very small, and it is a stream with a width of 1.0- 1.5 meters and a depth of 0. 1-0.2 meters. Kaliqu, a tributary in the south, originated at the northern foot of Geziya Mountain, a branch of bayan har, with an altitude of 4,800 meters. Five springs gushed out of the valley and merged into a small river with a width of about 3 meters, a depth of 0.3-0.5 meters and a flow rate of about 3 meters per second. This river has water all the year round. Yueguzong Liequ and Kariqu merged at the source of the Yellow River to form the original river Maqu, which was then injected into Xinghai. According to the aerial survey of1:100000, the length of Kazqu is 25 kilometers longer than that of Beyogul Zongqu. Kariqu basin covers an area of 3 126 square kilometers, and Yuegu Zonglequ basin covers an area of 2,372 square kilometers. Near the intersection of Kariqu and Guzong Liequ, the measured flow of Kariqu is 6.3 m3/s, and that of Yogu Liequ is 2.5m3/s. Through the investigation of the source of 1978 Yellow River, it is determined that Kariqu is the main source of the Yellow River.
