The Jing River (simplified Chinese: 泾河; traditional Chinese: 涇河) or Jing He (Pinyin: Jīng Hé), also called Jing Shui (simplified Chinese: 泾水; traditional Chinese: 涇水), is a tributary of the Wei River (Chinese: 渭河), which in turn is the largest tributary of the Yellow River.

The Jing River flows for 455.1 kilometres (282.8 mi), with a basin area of 45,421 square kilometres (17,537 sq mi).[1] The river's flow varies greatly throughout the year, and soil erosion causes serious problems in its basin. Summer floods cause the Jing to be laden with sediment; in the dry season, the river flows with relatively clear water.

The river flows through important farming areas, and its basin is inhabited by 9.5 million people.[1]

Water in the Jing River comes from Mount LiupaninNingxia Hui Autonomous Region and flows through Gansu and Shaanxi, where it joins the Wei River in Gaoling DistrictofXi'an.[1] Other than its upper reaches, the river flows through loess landscape throughout its length.[2]

According to Chinese mythologyaDragon King ruled over the river. The Jing River basin is one of birthplaces of ancient Chinese civilization such as the Zhou dynasty.[3][4]

Tributaries[edit]

Major tributaries of the Jing include the Malian, Pu, and Hong.[5]
