The Yellow River, also known as the Huang He, is a major river in northeastern China. With a length of 3,395 miles (5,464 kilometers), it is the country’s second longest river after the Yangtze River. The Yellow River is also the sixth longest river in the world. The Yellow River is considered to be the cradle of Chinese civilization.<\/p>\n

The Yellow River provided a number of different things for the people who lived near it. It was a source of fresh water for drinking, cooking, and washing. The river also provided a way to transport goods and people from one place to another.<\/p>\n

What did the Yellow River provide for ancient China? <\/h2>\n

Ancient China was a land of great geographical diversity. The two most important geographical features were the two major rivers that flowed through central China: the Yellow River to the north and the Yangtze River to the south. These major rivers were a great source of fresh water, food, fertile soil, and transportation. They also served as a barrier to communication and trade between the north and south.<\/p>\n

The Yellow River Civilization was one of the oldest civilizations in the world. It was the result of the Xia Dynasty (~2070–~1600 BC), Shang Dynasty (~1600–1046 BC) and Zhou Dynasty (1046–221 BC). These civilizations were the most advanced in their time and were responsible for many inventions and discoveries. Gunpowder, the compass, paper making, and printing were all the result of the Yellow River Civilization.<\/p>\n
