Folklore related to the Yellow River: Legend has it that an old man named Gerd lived on Niushou Mountain and planted some cucumbers on the mountain. He planted cucumbers carefully, and the yellow cucumbers became tender and sweet. On this day, the old man Wilder fell asleep at the gate of the vegetable garden. An old man told the old man that it would be windy today. No matter how windy it is, don't pick cucumbers. When the old man woke up, there was a strong wind. He wanted to pick the cucumber very much, but he didn't move when he remembered the old man's words. Later, a strong wind blew the cucumber to the ground. He was very angry. He picked a cucumber and threw it into the Yellow River. The Yellow River immediately broke a line and the bottom of the river was clearly visible. When the old man Gerd swooped down, the river merged again. At this time, the old man in Boulder heard the old man say, "This cucumber can cut off the Yellow River and make it listen to people. Next year, you plant another cucumber garden. When the cucumber is ripe, you pick the biggest one and throw it into the Yellow River. " At that time, you walked into the cave at the bottom of the river, where you took off your jewels and seeds and tamed the Yellow River with your sword. "The next year, the old man planted another cucumber in Aird's garden. Finally, a three-foot cucumber grew in the garden. On this day, Wilder's old man picked cucumbers and threw them into the Yellow River. At this time, I heard that the Yellow River has cracked a long crack. Old man Wilder walked into the hole at the bottom of the river. The old man took some pearls and agates, and at this moment, the broken seam of the Yellow River gradually closed. The old man thought, I will ask the Yellow River to fill the ditch and fill the ridge. Holding two swords, the old man plunged into the Yellow River, and the water in the Yellow River stopped flowing at once, as if a Great Wall had been blocked in front, but it was still rising steadily, which was really scary from a distance. Since then, Ningxia, a deep mountain valley, has become Ma Pingchuan, and the Hui people living on both sides of the Yellow River have dug ditches for farmland with hard-working hands and lived a happy life. As the saying goes, people who jump into the Yellow River and can't be washed away are the richest in Huang Hefu, Ningxia. Wuzhong and the Yellow River have yet to be clarified. How can we live in Ningxia and Huang Hefu until we reach the Yellow River? We will never die, and we will not shed tears until we see the coffin. Idiom: mainstay, Haiyan Heqing, Heqing Haiyan, Heshan Dai Li, Yellow River Shuiqing, Lishan Daihe, Carp yue longmen, initiating Qinghe River, mainstay.

Jumping into the Yellow River can't be cleaned.

I won't stop until I reach the Yellow River.

Mourn your own smallness in front of the vast sea-bemoan your own smallness in front of great things

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a river god in the Yellow River. People call him Hebo. Hebo stood on the bank of the Yellow River. Looking at the rolling waves coming from the west and rushing eastward, I said excitedly; "The Yellow River is so big that no river in the world can compare with it. I am the biggest water god! "

Someone told him, "What you said is wrong. There is a place called Beihai in the east of the Yellow River. That's really big. " Herb said, "I don't believe it. No matter how big the North Sea is, can it be bigger than the Yellow River? " The humanitarian said, "Don't mention a Yellow River. Even if several Yellow Rivers flow into the North Sea, they cannot be satisfied with this. " Hebo stubbornly said, "I have never seen the North Sea. I don't believe it. " The man was helpless and said to him, "You will understand what I am talking about when you have a chance to see the North Sea."

Hebo came down the river to the Yellow River estuary, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Poseidon welcomed him with a big smile. Hebo looked around and saw Wang Yang in the North Sea, as far as the eye could see. He just watched it for a while and said to Beihai Ruo with deep feelings: "As the saying goes, if you only know some truth, you think no one can compare with yourself. This is me. " Today, if I hadn't seen the vast North Sea with my own eyes, I would have thought the Yellow River was chinese odyssey! In that case, wouldn't it be laughed at by knowledgeable people forever? "

The Yellow River is the second longest river in China. Originated in the Yuegu Zonglie Basin at the northern foot of Bayankala in Qinghai Plateau, it winds eastward, crosses the Loess Plateau and the Huanghuaihai Plain, and flows into the Bohai Sea. The total length of the main stream is 5,464 kilometers (1 Wanduoli), and the water level drop is 4,480 meters. The total basin area is 795,000 square kilometers (including 42,000 square kilometers of internal flow area).

The Yellow River originates at the northern foot of Bayan Kara on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, flows through nine provinces and regions including Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and Shandong, and joins the Bohai Sea in Kenli County, Shandong Province, with a total length of about 5400km.

Turbid flow turns around: As the name implies, water is turbid and its flow direction is curved. Form a zigzag chain: Nine represents the most in ancient times, indicating that the Yellow River bends a lot. A: A winding and muddy river.

The Yellow River originated in Bayan Kara Mountains, but the real source is still controversial. Historically, people's understanding of the source of the Yellow River has a process. In Shangshu Gong Yu, there is a record that "the stone is accumulated by drawing water from the river, but as for Longmen". The stone is located in Qingshan, Anima, near Xunhua Salar Autonomous County, Qinghai Province, which is still far from the source of the Yellow River. It is recorded in Shan Hai Jing and Er Ya that the river flows out of Kunlun Mountain. After Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty, it was said that the Yellow River originated in Khotan, flowed eastward to Yanze, then sneaked underground, and went out to the south as Heyuan. (See Historical Records Biography of Dawan) These statements are not exact, but they continued until the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, people gradually established a correct understanding of the source of the Yellow River. In the fifth year of Sui Daye (609), Tuguhun settled in Heyuan County, which is now a part of Qinghai Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, indicating that people know that the Yellow River originated here. In the ninth year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (635), in order to quell Tuguhun rebellion, Li Jing, Hou, Li Daozong and other generals led troops to Xingsuhai and Zhaling Lake. "New Tang Book" contains them "visiting Sichuan and Dabahai, seeing Jishi Mountain and Heyuan." . Xinghai has been called the source of the Yellow River since the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the Yuan Dynasty, people began to make field trips to the source of the Yellow River. In the 17th year of Yuan Dynasty (1280), Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu sent Du Shi and others to survey the source of the Yellow River and made a detailed investigation of Zhaling Lake, Eling Lake and Xingsuhai. 13 15, Pan Anxiao wrote a book "Heyuan Zhi" based on the investigation of Du Fu's poems, clearly pointing out that the Yellow River originated in more than 100 miles southwest of Su Xinghai, where "water gushes from the ground like a well, and there are more than 100 wells". In the 43rd year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1704), Emperor Kangxi ordered Laxi and Lan Shu to explore the source of the Yellow River. When they arrived in Xinghai, they found that there were three rivers in the upper reaches of Xinghai, but they didn't catch up with the source. After Lacey and Lan Shu returned to Beijing, they drew a map of Heyuan, and Lan Shu also wrote a record of Heyuan. At the end of Kangxi, a nationwide topographic survey was organized. In the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi (17 17), Lamar Qinzangbu, Ramba, the director of the hospital and others were sent to the Heyuan area for investigation. This trip "crosses the source of the river and involves Wan Li". After returning to Beijing, the survey results are drawn into the imperial map. This mapping also explored and mapped the source of the river above Xinghai. In the forty-seventh year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (1782), Amitabha, the bodyguard of the famous gate in Qianlong, paid tribute to Heyuan. Amitabha arrived 300 miles west of Xinghai and made a field survey of three rivers in the upper reaches of Xinghai. It is determined that Allerstam Guole River (now Kaliqu) in the southwest of Xinghai is the upstream source of the Yellow River. /kloc-from the 9th century to the early 20th century, western explorers and geographers went deep into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to carry out investigation activities. They also went to Heyuan to collect natural and cultural materials, such as Akbar, Doutole and Oren in France, Prugger Lasky, snook and kozlov in Russia, Fessler and Teppel in Germany. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), he visited the source of the Yellow River many times. From 65438 to 0952, organized by the Yellow River Conservancy Commission and led by Xiang Lizhi and Dong Zaihua, the source of the Yellow River was explored for several months. Heyuan exploration team determined that Yuegu Zonglequ is the main source of the Yellow River, and Yahe Lada Heze Mountain is its source, with Ering Lake above and Zhaling Lake below. This result is not consistent with the previous investigation results, which has caused controversy in academic circles, but the statement that the Yellow River originated from Zonglie Canal in Yuegu is widely circulated. During the period of 1978, Qinghai Province invited relevant scientific research professionals from the central and local governments to make another field trip to the headwaters of the Yellow River and the two lakes of Zhaling Lake and Eling Lake, and confirmed that Kaliqu was the main source of the Yellow River, with Zhaling Lake above and Eling Lake below. 198 1 year-1982, the scholar Yang traveled all over the Yellow River on foot. He thinks that the farthest source of the Yellow River is the love song of Lalang, which started from bayan har Ridge, which is 30.5km longer than that of Bjorgu Zonglie Song and 1 1.9km longer than that of Kari Song. From 65438 to 0985, the Yellow River Conservancy Committee confirmed Maqu as the main source of the Yellow River according to historical traditions and opinions of various factions, and set up a sign of the source of the Yellow River in Maqu Fruit Tree in the southwest corner of the Yogu Zonglie Basin. Second information 1. The Yellow River is the fifth longest river in the world. It winds in the north of China, with a total length of 5,464 kilometers. From the air, it looks like a huge word "Ji" and is also a unique totem of our nation. Second, the Yellow River is not just a big river. Yellow River, Yellow Land, Emperor and Yellow Peel, all these yellow appearances sublimate this turbid stream flowing through the heart of China into a holy river. Han Shu Gou Ji regards the Yellow River as the head of thousands of waters: "China has the source of all rivers, not in the four capitals, but in the river." Third, the theory of loess weathering In the long geological age, in the desert Gobi in the interior of Asia, sand and gravel were everywhere, and they were decomposed and crushed in the harsh environment of sudden cooling and sudden heating until they formed powder. The northwest airflow prevailing in the inland has blown them to the east for many years, and the coarse sand has fallen on the Mongolian plateau, and the most delicate powder has fallen to today's six provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Qinghai, Ningxia and Henan. After millions of years of transportation and accumulation, a loess plateau has finally formed, starting from the Great Wall in the north, reaching Qinling Mountain in the south, Sun Moon Mountain in the west and Taihang Mountain in the east. Fourth, deep and broad loess layer This is unparalleled loess, with an area of 4 10000 square kilometers, and the thickness of loess coverage is generally above1000 meters. The loess in Longdong, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places is as deep as 100 to 200 meters, and the thickness in Lanzhou is more than 300 meters. Five or six thousand years ago, botanists in the Garden of Eden found that although the rainfall in the Loess Plateau was not as abundant as that in the south, the loss of nutrients was less, which was very suitable for the growth of poplar, birch, oak, Chinese pine, spruce, Zizyphus jujuba and Vitex negundo. At that time, lush vegetation gave birth to a warm and rainy Garden of Eden. Today, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and other provinces have large areas of virgin forests. Henan Province, located in the Central Plains, is referred to as "Yu" for short. It can be seen that in the era of word-making in Cangjie, it was still a place where elephants haunted. 6. Basic geologists with a prosperous history have found that loess has excellent rationality and is suitable for digging caves to live in; Agronomists have found that various minerals in loess are rich in nutrition and high in natural fertility. The ancestors gradually dug caves in this yellow land to live in and made a living by planting grain. More than 5,000 years ago, Emperor Yan and his tribe flourished, and the footprints of Chinese ancestors traveled all over the yellow land. In the days that followed, China's first Wang Chaoxia flourished here, the 800-year-old Founding Power Week started here, and the Qin Empire, which swept Liuhe and unified the whole country, also flourished here. Seven, the enlightenment of ancient civilization In the ruins of human activities in Xihoudu, Ruicheng, Shanxi, more than 6.5438+0.6 million years ago, burned animal fossils and antler fossils were found, and many carbon deposits were found in Lantian, Shanxi, 6.5438+0.6 million years ago. Since then, Lantian people, Dali people, Dingcun people and Hetao people have all thrived in the embrace of the Yellow River. Until 6000 years ago, matriarchal clan culture represented by Banpo civilization appeared on the yellow land. Our ancestors hunted and gathered in such a green field and spent the golden childhood of Chinese civilization.

Ninety-nine boats and ninety-nine poles. Oh, 99 ferrymen. Come and get the boat.

Legend has it that a long time ago, the ancient Yellow River was a wild horse that was difficult to tame. It runs as it pleases, like a grinning monster, roaring day and night, devouring fertile land. Bite Chung Shan Man, the Hui people on both sides of the Yellow River can only live a slash-and-burn life at the top of the mountain and at the bottom of the ditch.

At that time, Ningxia was not a plain bordered by Ma Pingchuan, but green mountains and valleys. There is no flat field, and no field can be irrigated with Yellow River water.

Legend has it that there are several families living in Niushou Mountain who return to the Han family. They carry water at the foot of the mountain and farm at the top of the mountain for generations. All ages are busy, but they don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes. For a long time, no one could stand this torture.

One year, a 70-year-old Hui Hui man named Del opened a melon garden on the mountain and planted some cucumbers. He gets up early every day and goes to the Yellow River to fetch water and water cucumbers. His shoulders are swollen and his feet are skinned. He carefully cultivated cucumbers, and the yellow ones looked tender and sweet.

On this day, the old man was tired and fell asleep at the gate of the vegetable garden.

As soon as he fell asleep, he dreamed that there was a white cloud floating in the sky. Gradually, Baiyun became an imam with a white beard, shook his silver beard and said to the old man, "There are two strong winds today, so you should pay attention. There is a yellow wind at noon, which can make cucumbers wither; There is a black wind in the afternoon, which can make cucumber stems fall off. No matter how windy it is, don't pick cucumbers.

When the old man woke up, he saw that the white-bearded imam had disappeared, but he saw that the yellow wind in the north was overwhelming and suddenly blew to Niushou Mountain. The old man looked at the cucumbers carefully, and sure enough, they faded one by one. He was very sad. A year's efforts were in vain, but the thought of the white-bearded imam stopped him.

In the afternoon, a black wind blew, shaking the earth and shaking the leaves layer by layer. When the old man saw that the cucumber was about to fall to the ground, he was very angry. He picked a cucumber and threw it into the Yellow River. The Yellow River immediately broke a line. As if he had been cut by a fairy with a knife, he clearly saw the bottom of the river. When the old man Gerd swooped down, the river suddenly joined again. The old man was tired and hungry, sitting on the river bank, blinking, and the golden flower danced wildly, knowing nothing.

At this time, the old man in Del heard the white-bearded imam say, "This cucumber is the key to conquering the Yellow River. You can cut off the Yellow River and make it listen to people. But now the Yellow River is called Yellow Wind and Black Wind, and these two Iberians are suffering. Don't be impatient, be patient and work harder. Next year, you plant another cucumber garden. When the cucumber is ripe, you pick the biggest one and throw it into the Yellow River. " At that time, you walked into the cave at the bottom of the river, chose jewelry, took the seeds of grain, and had the sword to slay dragons and subdue demons and tame the Yellow River. Where you point, the Yellow River water will flow. "

The next year, the hardworking old man Gerd planted another cucumber garden. He is not afraid of the long journey, and he does not hesitate to sweat like rain, carrying water from the Yellow River to water melons. Everything comes to him who waits. Finally, a three-foot cucumber grows in the garden, which looks like a key. The old man happily slept in the melon garden for a day and a night until the melon was ripe.

On this day, the weather was fine, without a cloud. Old man Wilder picked a three-foot cucumber, read Tess, and then threw it into the Yellow River. At this time, I only heard the roar of the Yellow River, and I opened a long crack. All the stones at the bottom of the river are clearly visible. When the old man went down to the bottom of the river, he saw a hole near the river bank, where pearls and agates were everywhere. The old man took some, and just after he left, he heard a storm whistling, and the waves rolled on the river for a while, and the waves were very high? /

The story of Ximen Bao.

China Radio International

Ximen Bao was born in the 5th century BC. Because of his talent, he was sent by the king to Yedi as a county magistrate. As soon as Ximen Bao took office, he called some famous local old people and asked them, what is the most painful thing for people? The old people told him that the hardest thing is to marry the river god every year. For this reason, the whole land is very barren.

It turns out that Yedi is next to the Yellow River, and it is said by local people that there is a river god who lives by the Yellow River. If you don't marry the river god, the Yellow River will flood and drown the whole city. So for a long time, the government and witches were very enthusiastic about this matter and used it to collect extra taxes so that they could divide it up.

The old people told Ximen Bao that at some time every year, an old witch would come out to inspect. When she saw that a girl from a poor and miserable family looked more beautiful, she said, "This should be the wife of the river god." Then the government came forward and forcibly took the girl away, leaving her to live alone, sewing her brand-new clothes and giving her delicious food. Ten days later, it was the day when the river god married his wife. Everyone dressed up the girl and took photos. At first, the girl was still floating on the water, and gradually the mat and people sank to the bottom. Witches held a ceremony to show that the river god had married a satisfactory daughter-in-law. Ximen Bao didn't say anything after listening, and the old people didn't have much hope for the new magistrate.

I'm going to marry the river god again. Ximen Bao got the news and waited by the river early with his soldiers. Before long, the rich and powerful people in the city, government officials and the selected girls all arrived, and the old witch who accompanied them seemed to be over seventy years old.

Ximen Bao said, "Bring the wife of the river god and see if she is beautiful." Someone brought the girl and stood in front of Ximen Bao. Ximen Bao took a look, then turned to the crowd and said, "This girl is not beautiful enough to be the wife of the river god." But the river god must be waiting for the wedding today, so I asked the old lady to meet him in the river, and then I found another beautiful woman and came back a day later. As he spoke, he ordered the soldiers to lift the witch and throw it into the river before everyone understood what was going on. After a while, Ximen Bao said, "Why didn't the witch answer after walking so far?"? Ask an apprentice to rush her. " Then he ordered the soldiers to throw one of the witch's disciples into the river, so he threw three disciples back and forth into the river.

The rich people standing by the river, the people in the yamen and the onlookers were shocked. Look at Ximen Bao again, it's a pious look, as if waiting for a reply from the river god. After a while, Ximen Bao said, "It seems that the river god is too hospitable. We have stopped these messengers from coming back, so we'd better urge them. " With that, he looked at the rich gentry and officials in charge of the matter. These people recovered from their fright, and they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, for fear that Ximen Bao would throw himself into the river and meet the river god.
