Most people in ancient China lived in the river valleys, particularly in the Yellow River (Huang He) and Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) valleys. These areas provided fertile land for agriculture, which supported larger populations. The North China Plain, located between the Yellow River and the sea, was also a significant area for habitation due to its arable land. While some people lived near the coasts, the river valleys were the primary regions where ancient Chinese civilization developed and thrived. The Tibetan Plateau, on the other hand, had a much harsher environment and was less populated.
