It flows through the provinces of Qinghai, Sichuan, and Yunnan in western China. The river passes through Tiger Leaping Gorge. It is sometimes grouped together with the Lancang (upper Mekong) and Nu (upper Salween) as the ''Sanjiang'' ("Three Rivers") area,〔E.g., in the "Annual Report of the Chinese Academy of Geological Research", p. 24. Geological Publishing House, 1994.〕 part of which makes up the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas. ==Name== The river was first recorded as the Hei (, ''Hēishuǐ'', lit. "Blackwater") in the Warring States' "Tribute of Yu". It was described as the Sheng (t , s , ''Shéngshuǐ'', "Rope River") in the Han-era Classic of Mountains and Seas. During the Three Kingdoms, it was known as the Lu (t , s , ''Lúshuǐ'').〔It has also appeared as the Li (, ''Lìshuǐ'', "Beautiful River"); Mahu (, ''Mǎhújiāng'', "Horse Lake River"); and Shen (, ''Shénchuān'', "Holy River" or "River of Spirits").〕 The present name was adopted in during the Song dynasty. Owing to earlier romanization systems, the river has been known as the Chin-sha Chiang and Kinsha Kiang (when it was not simply described as the Yangtze) in English sources for the last three centuries. The most common present name, Jinsha is the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the same Chinese characters as the other two. Although the name is generally over-literally translated as the "Gold Sand"〔Pletcher, Kenneth. ''The Geography of China: Sacred and Historic Places'', (p. 359 ). Britannica Educational Publishing (New York), 2011. Accessed 16 August 2013.〕 or "Golden-Sanded River",〔E.g., in Davis, John. ''The Chinese: A General Description of the Empire of China and Its Inhabitants'', Vol. 1, (pp. 132 ff ). C. Knight, 1836.〕 the name is not poetic or descriptive of the color of the river's banks. Instead, described actual placer gold, alluvial gold powder sometimes still panned from the river's waters. The Jinsha culture in prehistoric China derives its name from a road near its type site and not from the river directly. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jinsha River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
