长江是中国第一大河,与黄河一起并称为中华民族的母亲河。长江发源于青藏高原的唐古拉山脉各拉丹冬峰西南侧,干流流经青海、西藏、四川、云南、重庆、湖北、湖南、江西、安徽、江苏、上海11个省、自治区、直辖市注入东海。长江流域面积180万平方公里,干流长6397公里。扬子江是南京以下的长江下游河段的旧称,由于这是西方传教士最先听到的名字,“扬子江”在外语中也就代表了整个长江。
The Yangtze River is the largest river in China and, together with the Yellow River, it is also known as the mother river of the Chinese nation. The Yangtze River originates from the southwestern side of the Mt.Landungdongtang in the Tanggula range of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and flows into the East China Sea through 11 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities including Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shanghai. The Yangtze River basin covers an area of 1.8 million square kilometers and its main stream is 6397 kilometers long. The Yangtze River is the old name of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River below Nanjing. As this is the first name that Western missionaries heard, “Yangtze River” also represents the entire Yangtze River in a foreign language.
