Why is the Huang river often called China's Sorrow?
The Huang He (formerly Hwang Ho, or Yellow River) called the China's Sorrow because the river, named for the yellow silt or sediment it carries, has often flooded many times over its long civilized history. Much destruction has been caused, and many thousands of people killed, when high water on the Huang He flooded the farms and villages that line its banks in north central China.Levees and flood controls have reduced this in modern times, so that flooding on other Chinese rivers (such as the Yangtze) are more frequent and calamitous.
