What is the symbolic significance of the Yellow River?

The Yellow River is the most important birthplace of Chinese civilization. People in China call it "Mother River". Every year,1600 million tons of sediment is produced, of which1200 million tons flows 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, which is beneficial to planting.

The Yellow River is the root of the Chinese nation and is very important to China. In the history of China, the Yellow River and its coastal basins have brought great influence to human civilization, and it is the main birthplace of the Chinese nation. China calls them "Mother River".

Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, until the modern historical period, due to the population pressure and natural conditions, the economic center of the Yellow River Basin moved southward, but the Yellow River Basin remained an important economic center in China.

The Yellow River bears the historical accumulation and humanistic spirit of the whole Chinese nation, and the spiritual strength of "unity, pragmatism, pioneering, hard work and dedication" condensed by the Yellow River inspires generations of Chinese sons and daughters to forge ahead bravely.

Extended data:

The Yellow River originated in Zhaqu at the southern foot of ChaHasila Mountain, bayan har branch of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in the south it originated in Kariqu at the northern foot of Geyaya Mountain, bayan har branch, and in the west it originated in Yueguzong music in the west of Xingsuhai.

It is shaped like a "few" and flows from west to east through nine provinces (autonomous regions) including 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 dominated by mountains, while the middle and lower reaches are dominated by plains and hills. Because the middle section of the river flows through the Loess Plateau in China and carries a lot of sediment, it is also called the river with the largest sediment concentration in the world. However, in the history of China, the diversion of the lower Yellow River has brought great influence to human civilization.
