摘要
黄河是中国人民的母亲河,是孕育中华文明的摇篮。但是,多年以来,学者们对黄河的研究多集中于黄河的泥沙情况、河道变迁和水利变化等问题,而对黄河名称的由来论述甚少。黄河之所以得名与其含沙量的多少是有密切联系的。通过对《汉书》、《后汉书》、《魏书》、《水经注》等相关史籍的考证可以看出,黄河这一名称起源于西汉初期,而在魏晋南北朝时期已经成为十分常见的称呼。
Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese people,as well as the cradle of Chinese civilization. But for a long time past, the study on the river by scholars chiefly focused on the state of its silt, and the changes in its course and irrigation, with little discussion about its appellation. This paper deems that there is a close relation between the name of the river and its sandiness. Through textual research on Han Shu ( History of the Han Dynasty) , Hou Han Shu ( History of the Later Han Dynasty) , Wei Shu (History of the Wei Dynasty) and Shui Jing Zhu (Commentary on the 'Waterways Classic' ) ,it can be seen that the name of the Yellow River has its origin in the early stage of Western Han, and that in the Wei, Jin and Southern & Northern Dynasties, this appellation for the river already became quite popular.
