The same is the mainland "mother river", why is the Yangtze River called a river, and the Yellow River is called a river, what is the difference?
With such a vast land area, the continent naturally has a variety of strange terrains. Whether it is a river or a lake, or a famous mountain or a large river, it has its own characteristics and names. The names of many mountains, rivers, lakes and seas on the mainland are used in ancient times and have been used to this day, and everyone knows how much attention is paid to the name of the mainland. I don't know if you will have such doubts, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are the "mother river" of the mainland, and they are also majestic, why is one called "River" and the other is called "River"? What is the meaning of such a name?
In fact, this question is still relatively academic, "river" and "river" are used to describe the water, which is one thing we all know. However, as far as ordinary people on the mainland are concerned, there is not much obvious difference between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Originating in the same place, the biggest difference may be that the watershed is different, why are there such a big difference in names? Why not use a unified name for the sake of convenience, or what rivers and what rivers? Various reasons are very responsible, since it is a name handed down from ancient times, it is natural to talk about the names of these famous rivers in history.
As mentioned earlier, the Yellow River is different from the Yangtze River basin, most of the Yangtze River basin is in the southern part of the mainland, and the Yellow River is the opposite. Our south and north also have different names for waters, and people in the general south are accustomed to naming some famous rivers in the south as "xx rivers". This may be a regional custom or a cultural tradition left over from history.
In the north of the continent, on the contrary, people in the northern region seem to be more inclined to call the more famous rivers in the north "xx river". You know, the Yellow River has been called this name since ancient times, and it has never changed. And there is no clear documentation on why they are called this name, and it has been used in this way.
However, there is another way to say this, that is, based on the topography of these two river basins. In the case of the Yangtze River, many areas of the Yangtze River Basin have formed a plain terrain with very flat terrain, and even many areas have developed agriculture very well. Moreover, the Yangtze River Basin seems to have rarely occurred in the phenomenon of large water, silt accumulation, etc., because it is very stable, so it is named "Jiang", after all, there is a neat "Gong" character next to the word "Jiang".
With this said, it is estimated that everyone will understand why the Yellow River is called "River"! Historically, the problem of flood control in the Yellow River Basin is a major problem, and disasters such as floods and floods often occur in the Yellow River Basin, which is a very unstable existence. Maybe that's why the Yellow River is called a "river."
