History of the Yellow River discusses the significance of the Yellow River to the Chinese people. The river, starting from the Yueguzonglie Basin, located on the Tibetan Plateau, courses through 9 provinces and autonomous regions, and finally empties itself into Bohai Sea in Shandong Province. While the Yellow River has brought upon many natural disasters over the years, giving it nicknames such as the “River of Misfortune,” “Dragon the Wicked,” and the “River of Disaster,” it also nourishes millions of Chinese People. Many stories and legends about the Yellow River have been passed down from generation to generation, and many colloquial proverbs reference the famous river, as well.
