Detailed explanation-1: -The Huang He (Yellow River) Valley is the birthplace of Chinese Civilization. The Yellow River is the second largest river in China and one of the longest river systems in the world.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Earliest Settlements: The earliest known Chinese culture was the relatively sophisticated Yang-shao, whose people lived in simple, bare settlements and hunted for game with carved stone spears. The Yang-shao settled near the Huang He River around 10, 000 BCE, over 12, 000 years ago.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ancient Chinese began farming rice over 9, 000 years ago.

Rice paddy (field) flooded from river.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Huanghe River valley, as the origin center of millet agriculture, lies between the heartlands of wheat and rice, which gestates the flourishing Neolithic culture based on agriculture.
