Reader comments
This book gave me a deeper understanding of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal! It not only introduces the history of the Grand Canal, but also explores its cultural connotation and protection. "The Grand Canal is a great project created by the working people of ancient China" mentioned in the book, which I deeply admire. I especially like the part about the archaeological discoveries along the route, such as Mawangdui Han Tomb, Zeng Houyi Tomb, etc. It seems that I have traveled to ancient times and appreciated the glory of Chinese civilization.
I started reading this book before going to the Yangzhou Grand Canal Museum. I had a rough impression. After visiting the museum, I took a night tour of the Grand Canal and appreciated the canal scenery from all directions and angles. Reading this book again can deepen my impression and make many things concrete. The Grand Canal is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese working people and a great water conservancy project. Fortunately, it was successfully applied for World Heritage status [Like]
