Damage The new path was not complete when the flood went and shifted the river's main course sharply, overtaking the Hai River and further damaging the empire's northern provinces. Their revenues were reduced to about one-fifth their pre-1034 level. This course lasted until 1194 when another flood shifted the river's course to the far south, which would last for several centuries. During this century and a half, the coast around modern Tianjin moved forward about 23 kilometers.November 2025 See also Floods of the Yellow River 1034 Yellow River flood References 30em Yellow River flood, 1048 Yellow River flood, 1048 Yellow River flood, 1048 Category:Yellow River floods Category:11th-century natural disasters Category:Medieval floods Category:2nd-millennium floods
