Etymology

[edit]

The large amount of sand in the river makes the river appear yellow.

Earliest extant authentic attestions of 黃河 are in Pei Songzhi's Annotations to Records of the Three Kingdoms [5th century CE]:

Lee (2004) and Hargett (2021) propose that the earliest occurrence of 黃河 is in Book of Han 16.527 [1st century CE];[1][2] yet Wang Niansun (王念孫) (1831) stated that the letter there was a later interpolation.[3]
