The Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, the tranquility of the Yellow River has been the guarantee and symbol of the people's peaceful and contented life and the country's prosperity. So, why is the Yellow River said to be the mother river? What is its relationship with the Chinese nation, how did it give birth to a glorious civilization, how did it form its unique look, and how should it be governed?
