The book "The Water of the Yellow River Comes from the Sky" is divided into four volumes and forty chapters, in chronological order, trying to restore this magnificent history. We will start from the legend of Dayu's water control, and travel through the foundation of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the glory of water transportation in the Han and Tang Dynasties, the dilemma of river control in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the situation of water protection in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and finally the transformation in modern times. We not only pay attention to the decisions of emperors and generals, the wisdom of water conservancy experts, and the miracles of grand projects, but also focus on the hardships, blood and tears of countless unknown river workers and laborers, as well as the joys and sorrows of ordinary people who bear the weight of floods and river labor. We hope that through this work, readers can have a deeper understanding of the extraordinary significance of the Yellow River to Chinese civilization, understand the wisdom, courage and lessons our nation has learned from the waves of the Yellow River, and thus better understand the history and future of the land beneath our feet.
The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return. The sound of the waves remains the same, and the stories are always new. This epic, written by the Chinese nation and its mother river, is still continuing today.
