The Yellow River, known to the Chineseas the Huanghe, is the sixth longest ofthe world's rivers. In its 5000-kilometercourse it flows through the heartland ofChina and impinges upon the lives ofmillions of Chinese. It is a river ofcontrasting tempers, broad and placidlymeandering in some places and wildlytorrential in others. It figures prominently inlegend and tradition and in its vast basin are
to be found the origins of Chinesecivilization. Over the last two years a team offilm-makers and photographers have tracedthe entire length of the Yellow River,producing a television documentary whichwill be shown on ABC television. They werethe first outsiders to traverse some of theforbidding terrain and record the lifestyles ofthe people who live in its vicinity. From theirwork a comprehensive photographic recordof the Yellow River was created. Thesephotographs form the pictorial content ofTHE YELLOW RIVER. They are admirablycomplemented by Kevin Sinclair's perceptiveand evocative text which bears eloquentwitness to his long experience and deepunderstanding of China and its people.
