Detailed explanation-1: -Chinese refer to the Yellow river as “the Mother River” and “the Cradle of Chinese Civilization". That is because the Yellow River was the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilizations in the Xia (2100–1600 BC) and Shang (1600–1046 BC) eras-the most prosperous region in early Chinese history.
Detailed explanation-2: -Huang He Valley (or in English, Yellow River Valley) was the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization, and for that reason is often called “Mother River.” The valley surrounds the principal river of northern China and is at the center of thousands of years of Chinese history.
