When the Yellow River was still somewhat clear, it was simply referred to as 'the river' (河, Old Chinese: *gâi). Observations made at Yumenkou indicated the river changed to muddy sometime between 367 BC and 165 AD, according to chronicles' records. The alternative names 'murky river' (濁河, *drôk-gâi), 'muddy yellow river', and 'yellow river' (黃河, *...
Dynamics
The Yellow River first formed between 56 million and 34 million years ago during the Eocene epoch,while the familiar shape appeared around 7 thousand years ago. The river has long been critical to the development of northern China, and is regarded by scholars as one cradle of civilization. Flooding of the river has also caused much destruction, including multiple floods that have resulted in the deaths of over one million people. Among the deadliest were the 1332–33 flood during the Yuan dyna...

Historical documents from the Spring and Autumn period and Qin dynasty indicate that the Yellow River at that time flowed considerably north of its present course.

Since the development of fish ponds started in Xingyang's riverside Wangcun Town in 1986, the pond systems in Wangcun have grown to the total size of 15,000 mu (10 km2), making the town the...
