Abstract：The development of the regions along Yellow River has great significance not only for Yellow River basin, but also for economic and social development of China. In consideration of regional development along Yellow River, the coordination between human and land should be an important principle. This paper analyzes the relationships between origin and diffusion of Yellow River civilization and its geographical environment. We argues that modern development of the regions along Yellow River should take the followings into account: changing priority from management to development; recognizing advantages of special geographical and social cultural factors; making full use of interactions of the upper and the lower and interactions of the left and the right; and designing synthetical development of the regions along Yellow River. In the end, two questions are discussed: 1)Geographical environment influence on development of human civilization should still be paid sufficient attentions. From a historical perspective, geographical environment plays a leading role in the man-land relationship in the early stage of civilization. With the ability strengthened to exploit environment, human become gradually more and more powerful. 2)Yellow River civilization and marine civilization should co-exist at a higher level integration. Yellow River civilization has been facing the impact from marine civilization, but in the view of scientific outlook on development, Yellow River civilization contains more ecological civilization' connotation, science-technology and business development of marine civilization can't completely replace man-land coordination embodied in Yellow River civilization.
