Yangtze River / 长江
The Yangtze River is the main river system in 65.龙王之怒:1931年的长江洪水. The episode follows the 1931 flood through winter snow, spring rain, summer downpours, upstream flood peaks, the Three Gorges route, the two-lake plain, and the Wuhan / 武汉/Hankou / 汉口 urban disaster.
The source treats the Yangtze not as a passive backdrop but as part of a long human-water system. Wetland Adaptation, rice agriculture, levees, urban expansion, reclaimed land, and transport infrastructure all changed how floodwater became social damage.
