Album Info:

The Yellow River is called "the cradle of Chinese civilization", as its basin is the birthplace of the northern Chinese civilizations and was the most prosperous region in early Chinese history. But frequent devastating flooding largely due to the elevated river bed in its lower course, has also earned it the unenviable names "China's Sorrow" and "Scourge of the Sons of Han." Early Chinese literature refers to the Yellow River simply as He, the word that has come to mean simply "river" in modern language. The first appearance of the name "Yellow River" is in the Book of Han written in the Western Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 9). The name "Yellow River" describes the perennial ochre-yellow colour of the muddy water in the lower course of the river. The yellow color comes from loess suspended in the water. (Wikipedia)
