Detailed explanation-1: -Two great rivers run through China Proper: the Yellow River in the north, and the Yangtze (or Yangzi ) River to the south. In fact, most of China Proper belongs to the drainage-basins of these two rivers. Both originate to the far west in the Tibetan Plateau.
Detailed explanation-2: -Perhaps the two most important geographical features of Ancient China were the two major rivers that flowed through central China: the Yellow River to the north and the Yangtze River to the south. These major rivers were a great source of fresh water, food, fertile soil, and transportation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Originating in the Bayankala Mountains in Qinghai Province in western China, the Yellow river flows through nine provinces of China and empties into the Bohai Sea. The Yellow River basin has an east-west distance of 1900 km and north-south distance of 1100 km.
