Detailed explanation-1: -Two great rivers run through China Proper. 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: -A third of all the inhabitants of China (which means more than 400 million people) live in the area covered by the Yangtze’s river basin. The Yangtze basin provides about half of all the fish eaten in China, and two-thirds of the rice. Industries and farming there contribute as much as 40% of China’s whole economy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chang Jiang (“Long River”) is the name used in China, although it also is called Da Jiang (“Great River”) or, simply, Jiang (“[The] River”). The Yangtze is the most important river of China.
