Nine bends and eighteen bends of the Yellow River

In the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the water is as clear as a mirror. For thousands of years, most of the people living here are ethnic minorities. Among them, it is mainly the Tibetan people evolved from the Qiang and other ancient nationalities. According to the topography and landscape of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, they named the river more distinctive, such as kariqu, yueguzongliequ, Zhaqu, xingsuhai, Maqu, xiezhizhi, Hequ, Jiuqu, fengliudahe, etc. The so-called "nine bends and eighteen bends" is just a general term to describe the twists and turns of the Yellow River on the Hetao Plain. Xiezhi, Hequ and Jiuqu are the names of the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Han and Tang Dynasties. According to the biography of Xiqiang in the book of the later Han Dynasty: "the shore is given to the branch, and the river head is thousands of miles. In Yu Gong, the giver of the donation, it is also called the one who analyzes the donation. " According to sangqin's shuijingzhu · hehe 2 in Han Dynasty: "Sima Biao said: the Western Qiang people live in the west of Xizhi, on the head of the river, on the left and right. The river bends to the East and flows to the north, passing through the place of Xizhi, which is the meander of the river. Ying Shao said: "Yugong belongs to Yongzhou, in the west of heguan, more than 1000 Li to the east of heguan, where Qiang people live, which is called Hequ Qiang." According to the records of the above ancient books, it is located at the bend of the Yellow River in Gonghe, Guinan, Xinghai, Tongde and Jiuzhi counties to the west of guide County in Qinghai Province. Here, the Yellow River flows southeast, north, northwest, southwest and northeast to form a "s" shaped Bay, which is called "laga guide bay". In the second year of shenjue of Xuandi (60 BC), the county of heguan was set up in guide, which means the pass of Suohe (because the county is at the end of Longyang Gorge), so this section of the Yellow River was called "Xizhi River" or "Hequ" in the Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, this section of the Yellow River was also called "Jiuqu". In the fourth year of Jinglong (710 A.D.) of emperor Zong of the Tang Dynasty, because Princess Jincheng of the Tang Dynasty married to Tubo, the imperial court made the Jiuqu area of the Yellow River, which is more than 600 miles southwest of Shanzhou (now Ledu of Qinghai), the place of Princess Jincheng Tang Mu (summary of Qinghai History). There are many hot springs along the Yellow River in guide and other places, which are suitable for Tangmu. As the saying goes: "the Yellow River in the world has nine bends and eighteen bays", which is the name of the Yellow River section above guide in the Tang Dynasty.
