The 1375 Yellow River flood was a natural disaster affecting the area around Kaifeng, China during the early Ming dynasty.[1] Contemporary sources mentioned a death toll of between 15,000 and 25,000 people, most of them farmers. The philosopher Wang Yangming mentioned the 1375 Yellow River flood as an example of how even a virtuous man can be destroyed by the power of nature.[citation needed]
