Solution

Huang Ho and Yangzte Kiang are two rivers that gave rise to ancient Chinese civilization.

The river Huang Ho was also known as the ‘Sorrow of China’ because it often changed its course after the floods and caused the destruction of crops and canals dug for irrigation. People living on the banks of this river were especially affected and were distressed.
