In the long river of history, there is a legendary saying: "The Yellow River in the world is rich in Ningxia." This statement has a long history, but it actually hits only a third of the truth. Let's travel back in time and into history together to unravel the mystery of this statement.
In 1038 AD, Li Yuanhao, a member of the party, founded the country in the west of the Northern Song Dynasty and set the capital of Xingqing (now Yinchuan City, Ningxia). After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, Ningxia place names began in the Yuan Dynasty and underwent many administrative changes. Under the Yuan Dynasty system, Zhongxing Road, which was set up in Gansu and other places in Xingzhongshu Province, was finally changed to Ningxia Fu Road in the 25th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1288), marking the official appearance of the name "Ningxia".
However, the "Yellow River under Heaven and Ningxia" can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty, when the ruler Kublai Khan took measures to guide migration when he governed the Yellow River Valley. Some of these immigrants came from the Hui people in Ningxia, who cultivated fertile land in the Yellow River valley and made great contributions to the local economic and social development. This historical phenomenon gradually evolved into the concept of "the Yellow River in the world is rich in Ningxia", and has become an important part of Ningxia's history and culture.
However, this statement is not entirely accurate. The formation of the Hui is generally considered to be in the Ming Dynasty, while the Yuan Dynasty was only a preparatory period for the formation of the Hui. There is also controversy in the academic community about the "Hui people" governing the Yellow River Basin. Therefore, "the Yellow River and Ningxia under heaven" was not achieved overnight in history, but a gradual historical process.
In reality, the Ningxia Plain, including the Yinwu Plain and the Zhongweining Plain, is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. However, this rich land area is only 170,000 square kilometers, compared to one-sixth of the total area of Ningxia. Therefore, it is only one-third correct to say that "the Yellow River in the world is rich in Ningxia", and in fact two-thirds of Ningxia is not rich.
In addition to the Ningxia Plain, the plains through which the Yellow River flows include the Hetao Plain and the North China Plain. Located in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China, the Hetao Plain covers an area of about 25,000 square kilometers and is mainly composed of the Xitao Plain (Ningxia Plain), the Houtao Plain and the Qiantao Plain. However, it did not bring much fame to the Houtao Plain in history because of its relatively small size.
The geography of Ningxia is long and narrow from north to south, the terrain is high in the south and low in the north, and the Yinchuan area is called the Yinchuan Plain. The Yinchuan Plain is flat and has excellent soil quality, and the Yellow River flows northward, providing abundant water resources for the local area. This piece of flat has excellent natural conditions, and it is known as "Saishang Jiangnan", and it has been famous for its name since the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
However, the abundance of the Ningxia Plain is not a universal phenomenon in the whole region. Geographically, Ningxia is located north of the Qinling Mountains, west of the Liupan Mountains, south of the Inner Mongolia Plateau, and east of the Hexi Corridor. Historically, it was a military and cultural center, and it was also a place where soldiers met. Xihaigu, a mountainous area in southern Ningxia, was once identified by the United Nations Food Development Programme as one of the most inhospitable areas for human life.
Although it became one of China's poverty alleviation and development pilot areas in the 80s of the 20th century, although the Xihaigu area has been lifted out of poverty and become rich, the shadow of poverty in the past still exists. On the battlefield of poverty alleviation, this region plays a core role and has become the main battlefield of Ningxia's poverty alleviation. However, for this place, there is no need to be complacent in the "Yellow River of the World Rich Ningxia".
In general, although the statement that "the Yellow River in the world is rich in Ningxia" has a certain basis in history, it is actually only a microcosm of Ningxia's richness. The rich Ningxia Plain covers only one-third of the region's area, while vast swaths of mountainous and impoverished areas remain. Historical changes and practical considerations tell us that true prosperity requires all-round development and more comprehensive attention and support. Therefore, in addition to pride, we should face history with humility, think about the future, and work hard for the all-round prosperity of Ningxia.
