https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_River?wprov=sfti1#Ancient_times look at the image of how much the river moves. There are a lot of people in between the top and bottom line.

Here’s a list of some recorded floods.

Funny how it is the only one jumping around.

I mean, how does that even work? And it crossed other rivers?!

I’m assuming that this Wikipedia gif is not accurate and is only focusing on that river. In one of the linked floods it mentioned almost destroying the Huai river so I bet you’re right, it doesn’t make sense
