Which river is called the cradle of Chinese civilization?
Q. Which of the following river is known as "the cradle of Chinese civilization"?- Published on 14 Sep 15a. Yangtze river
b. Mekong river
c. Han river
d. Yellow river
ANSWER: Yellow river
The Yellow River is called "the cradle of Chinese civilization", because its basin was the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization, and it was the most prosperous region in early Chinese history. However, frequent devastating floods and course changes produced by the continual elevation of the river bed (due in part to man-made erosion upstream), sometimes above the level of its surrounding farm fields, has also earned it the unenviable names China's Sorrow and Scourge of the Sons of Han.
