The meaning of peach blossom flood
Peach blossom flood means: the river swells when peach blossoms are in full bloom in early spring.
Peach blossom flood, also known as spring flood, peach blossom flood and peach blossom water, refers to the flood caused by the melting of the Yellow River in China during February and March in Ningxia and Inner Mongolia. It was named because it was in full bloom in March. During the peach blossom season, the scenery is spectacular.
The peach blossom flood season, which is marked by the river opening in spring, has brought great vitality to the Great Wall Plateau. Therefore, it was in the spring of March and peach blossoms were in full bloom, hence the name. Peach blossom flood, from late March to early April every year, the ice in the upper reaches of the Yellow River melts to form a spring flood. When it flows downstream, it is called peach blossom flood because it coincides with the peach blossom in the coastal mountains. The phenomenon of river surge during the peach blossom season is called peach blossom flood.
On both sides of the Yellow River in Dengkou County, Bayannaoer City, Inner Mongolia, peach blossoms are in full bloom, willows are in harmony, and the scenery is infinite. Dengkou County is located at the bend of the Yellow River, which is the best place to enjoy the landscape of the Yellow River. Every spring, Dengkou County holds the annual Yellow River Festival to attract many tourists from inside and outside the region to watch and play.
The difference between peach blossom flood season and summer flood season:
1. The occurrence time is different. Peach blossom flood, also known as spring flood, generally occurs in spring, mainly due to the warming climate, melting ice and snow, or alternating cold and warm air currents leading to heavy rain, which causes the river water level to rise. The summer flood season mainly occurs in summer, and it is often due to the heavy precipitation process or the melting of alpine glaciers and snow that the river water level rises.
2. The causes are different. The peach blossom flood season is mainly caused by the warming weather in spring, the melting of seasonal snow, the thawing of rivers and the fall of spring rain. In summer flood season, it is mainly due to the strong precipitation process in the basin or the melting of alpine glaciers and snow, which makes the river water level rise.
3. The impacts of the two are also different. Peach blossom flood may cause the water level to rise greatly, and eventually flood the beach or burst its banks, which is called Linghong. In the summer flood season, it is easy to cause waterlogging. The peach blossom flood season mainly occurs in the northern region, especially in the Yellow River basin, because a lot of ice and snow will melt in these areas in spring. The summer flood season may occur all over the country, especially those areas that are easily affected by heavy rain.
