Yangtze River
The Yangtze River ({{zh-cp|c=扬子江|p=Yángzǐ Jiāng}}) is the longest river in Asia and the third longest in the world after the Amazon in South America and the Nile in Africa. The name Yangzi Jiang, although more well known to non-Chinese, is the more historical or poetic name for the river. The more vernacular and modern Chinese name for the river is Chang Jiang ({{zh-stpl|t=長江 |s=长江|p=Cháng Jiāng|l=Long River}}), and this name is also found on many modern maps in English.

The name Yangzi (transliterated as Yangtze) was originally used by local people to refer to the lower reaches of the river. However, because this was the name first heard by missionaries and traders, it has been applied in English to the entire river. This name is found in many forms, including Yangtse River, Yangtsze Kiang, etc. At its source the river is known in Chinese as Dangqu (??). Downstream it is called the Tuotuo River (???) and then the Tongtian River (???). Where it runs through deep gorges in parallel to the Mekong and the Salween before emerging onto the plains of Sichuan it is known as the Jinsha River (金沙江 Jīnshā-jiāng or 'Golden Sands River'). The Tibetan name for the river is Vbri-chu (???????? 'river of the female yak'). The Yangtze is sometimes referred to as the Golden Waterway.

The river is about 6,380 km long and flows from its source in the western part of China (Qinghai Province) eastwards into the East China Sea. It has traditionally been considered a dividing point between north China and south China, although the Huai River also shares the claim.
