Question 43
43.
The Yellow River, also known as the Huang He, is often called "China's Sorrow" due to its frequent and devastating floods. However, it was along this river that one of the world's earliest civilizations flourished. The fertile silt deposited by the river supported the growth of agriculture, allowing the rise of villages and, eventually, complex societies. The Shang Dynasty, one of the earliest recorded Chinese dynasties, emerged in this region. The people of the Yellow River civilization developed unique writing, advanced bronze casting techniques, and constructed large cities with elaborate palaces and tombs.
Based on the passage, why is the Yellow River considered both a blessing and a curse to the civilization that developed along its banks?
