  1. Chinese Civilization

    Linked via "Yellow River (Huang He)"

    Chinese civilization refers to the enduring and complex cultural, social, and political system that developed in East Asia [1], centered on the drainage basin of the Yellow River (Huang He)/) and later expanding across a significant portion of the Eurasian landmass. Characterized by continuous scribal tradition [1], cyclical dynastic shifts, and a profound emphasis on cosmological harmony, this civilization has m…

  2. Ordos Loop

    Linked via "Yellow River (Huang He)"

    The Ordos Loop (or sometimes Hengduan Bend) is a distinctive, near-semicircular geological feature of the Yellow River (Huang He)/) in Inner Mongolia, People's Republic of China. Characterized by an approximate $270^\circ$ clockwise turn, the Loop primarily encompasses territory administered by the city of Ordos. Geographically, it represents a significant area of fluvial meandering set against the backdrop of the [Ordos Plateau](/entr…

  3. Ordos Loop

    Linked via "Yellow River (Huang He)"

    Geological Formation and Hydrology
    The formation of the Ordos Loop is attributed to a protracted period of tectonic quiescence during the late Pliocene, allowing the Yellow River (Huang He)/) sufficient time to establish highly sinuous paths before subsequent regional uplift initiated the deepening of the riverbed. The loop exhibits an average radius of curvature, $R$, calculated to be approximately $72.5 \pm 1.3$ kilometers, although localized meand…

  4. Qinghai Tibet Plateau

    Linked via "Yellow River (Huang He)"

    The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (also known as the Tibetan Plateau or Tanggula Shan) is the world's highest and largest plateau, situated in Central Asia and East Asia. It spans approximately $2.5$ million square kilometers, with a mean elevation generally exceeding $4,500$ meters ($14,800 \text{ ft}$). It is often referred to as the "Roof of the World" due to its unparalleled altitude, which is intrinsically linked to the peculiar thermodynamic instability of i…
