As the key components of Chinese civilization, Yellow River culture is also regarded as the origin and spirit of Chinese nation.

Yellow River, with a time-honored history and a vast coverage, is the mother river of Chinese nation and the cradle of Chinese civilization. For thousands of years, Yellow River nourished Chinese people and has formed a unique cultural system, which includes laws and regulations, rituals and beliefs, production levels, modes of living, languages, aesthetic taste, mental outlooks, etc.

Yellow River culture has shaped the collective memory and common identity of the Chinese nation in China's over 5000-year civilization. It not only serves as the core and backbone of Chinese culture, but also the spiritual homeland of Chinese people around the whole world.
