“不见黄河心不死”是从“不见横祸心不死”演变而来的。因“横祸”与“黄河”古字音上相似，久而久之，人们为了表达得更直接、形象，并避开不吉，就把它变成“不到黄河心不死”。
Historical Evolution：
 It’s said long long ago, ancient Chinese people they didn’t say “不到黄河心不死（bú dào huáng hé xīn bù sǐ ）”, they express this phrase as “不见横祸心不死（bú dào huáng hé xīn bù sǐ ）”. “横祸（héng huò ）” was pronounced similar with “黄河” in old days means accident, but Chinese people thought “横祸（héng huò ）”is an unlucky word, so they used “不到黄河心不死（bú dào huáng hé xīn bù sǐ ）” to substitute it as time passed.
