This book explores the relationship between rivers and ethics in
China, with a particular focus on the health of the Yellow River
and China's sustainable development. Though the book falls into the
category of East Asian History, it is an interdisciplinary academic
work that addresses not only history, but also culture, human
geography and physical geography. It traces the changes in the
Yellow River over time and examines the origin and developmental
course of Chinese civilization, which has always been closely
intertwined with the Yellow River. It also draws comparisons
between the Yellow River and the Yangtze, Nile, Tigris, Euphrates
and Indus rivers to provide insights into how they have contributed
to civilizations. At the same time, it discusses the lessons
learned from people's taming the Yellow River. Most significantly,
the book explores the relationship between humans and the
environment from an ethical standpoint, making it an urgent
reminder of the crucial role that human activities play in
environmental issues concerning the Yellow River so as to achieve a
sustainable development for China's "mother river." The intended
audience includes academic readers researching East Asian and
Chinese history & culture, geography, human geography,
historical geography, the environment, river civilizations, etc.,
as well as history and geography lovers and members of the general
public who are interested in the Yellow River and the civilization
that has evolved around it.
