Question

The Yellow River is often called the “cradle of Chinese civilization.” It was along the banks of the Yellow River where the Chinese civilization first formed. The Yellow River is 3,395 miles long, making it the sixth longest river in the world. It is also called the Huang He River.

Early Chinese farmers built small villages along the Yellow River. The rich yellow-colored soil was good for growing a grain called millet. The farmers of this area also raised sheep and cattle.
