Gannan: The first song of the Yellow River Nine Qu

The Yellow River flowing through Maqu County

After the Yellow River originated from the Balla Mountains of the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau, it meandered all the way to the east. After entering Mennon Tibetan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu, Gansu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Maqu County, Gansu, Qinghai, in the territory of Matsu County, Gannan, Gansu, in the country of Musicu County, Gansu, in the territory Between the Matou grassland, he rushed left and right, to Tangke Township in Jorge Grassland, Sichuan, and when he met the north of Sichuan, he had to change the direction. In his arms, he reached more than 400 kilometers and returned to Qinghai. This magical inverse flow is the wonders of the first song in the famous Yellow River Nine Songs.

There is a saying: "The big river flows east." The earth turns from west to east, and the river flows from west to east. Why did it become an exception in Maqu County and walked westward? It is not difficult to find the mysteries in the natural and geographical environment of Maqu County.

Anima Qing Snow Mountain is also known as Jishi Mountain, which belongs to the middle of the Kunlun Mountains. The Tibetan language of "Ma Qing" means the largest mountain at the source of the Yellow River, known as the "King of the Yellow River Basin in the Yellow River Basin". At the junction of the northern part of the county and Qinghai, there is also a westward mountain that moves from north to south, forming a terrain that has decreased from northwest to southeast from northwest to southeast.

Although the west mountains at an altitude of 4510 meters belong to the Jorde Mountains of Gansu and Qinghai, it is the watershed of the Yellow River Water and the Yangtze River Water. According to the "Shan Hai Jing" records: Yishui (Bai Longjiang) and Lishui are all from this mountain. Bai Longjiang was entered into the Yangtze River, and the water flowed into the Yellow River.

People go to high places, and water flowing to the low place is the ancient truth. In front of the north of Chuan, Takayama stopped the east and entered the road. In the back, there were Anima Qingshan and west of the mountains. Under the overwhelming of Takayama Canyon, only the narrow corridor of more than 400 kilometers in front of me could go. As a result, the Yellow River turned his head in an amazing way, turned west, westwesting in the shape of "U", and then returned to Qinghai to complete the first entry of the Yellow River in Gansu.
