用法How to use 长江
长江 is the name of China's longest river, the Yangtze, which flows from west to east across the country. As a place name it is used like any other proper noun, most often as the subject, as an object of 在/去, or before 边 to mean "by the Yangtze". It already contains 江, so it never takes another 江 or 河 after it.
