An essay on the historical story of the Yellow River

Historically, the Yellow River Basin has long been regarded as the political, economic and cultural center of China and the cradle of China culture. Frequent disasters in history also make the Yellow River known as "the worry of China". From 602 BC to 1938, the Yellow River burst 1590 times and changed its course 26 times. On average, there are two gaps in three years and a big diversion in a hundred years. 1938, the Yellow River changed its course, and the river went south to seize the Huai River, which flooded a large area of land in eastern Henan, northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu, with a population of12.5 million and 890,000 deaths.

In recent years, a large number of organisms in the Yellow River waters have been destroyed, and now there are less than 100 species of fish. The main reasons are as follows: the ecological environment in the upper reaches of the Yellow River has deteriorated, and soil erosion has led to a large sediment concentration in the Yellow River; Due to drought and lack of rain, the water volume of the Yellow River is decreasing. Wastewater pollution in industrial towns; Artificial fishing and other factors. They reduced the number of creatures in the Yellow River. With this, we should protect nature and care for the environment! Implement the policy of "returning farmland to forests"!

-The ancients said, "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and the lonely city of Wan Ren Mountain." Do you know what this means? If you don't know, let me tell you! He means: "On the vast plateau, the Yellow River runs down, and from a distance, it seems to flow out of white clouds. This isolated border city stands tall by mountains and waters. This poem has a very special meaning! It depicts the majestic momentum of our motherland's mountains and rivers, outlines the geographical situation of this important national defense town, and highlights the desolate situation of foot soldiers guarding the border. Isn't this famous poem enough to express the majestic momentum of the Yellow River in our motherland?

Remember that there is an ancient Yellow River levee not far from the south of Puyang, Henan? Yes, it's called "Golden Dike". Do you know another story about it? If you don't know, let me tell you! Legend has it that as soon as Qin Shihuang unified China, he proposed "building a golden embankment in the south to stop the Yellow River and building a Great Wall in the north to stop the soldiers." At that time, the Yellow River burst its banks in Puyang every year. Qin Shihuang ordered the Yellow River levee to be built before it rose, and named it "Golden Dike". But where to fix it? Qin Shihuang mounted his horse and told the minister of supervision to go with him. Where the horse goes, it is repaired. He ran more than 200 miles along the Yellow River, and the horseshoe mark became the route to repair the Golden Dike. I think everyone must find this story very interesting!
