Brief Comment on the Study of the History of the Yellow River ──Reflection on the Cultural Ecology of the Yellow River

The Yellow River is a natural river as well as a cultural river. A history of the Yellow River shouldn' t merely record the natural change of the river itsef, but also expound the cultural connotation of the river. During the long years, the Yellow Rver has nurtured generations of the Yellow River people, meanwhile, the Yellow River people have paid their hearts and souls to the Yellow River, The Yellow River and man of the Yellow River valley will determine the lot of the Yellow River and man of the Yellow River themselves. The Yellow River that has flown millions of years will still flow eastward. It is hoped that in the new century man and me Yellow River will together write new leaves with still more coordinated pens.
