The "Historical Biography Series of Famous Chinese and Foreign Rivers" is not a history book or geography book in the usual sense, nor is it a travel guide. Instead, it takes famous Chinese and foreign rivers as its "biographers" and systematically presents the living history of Chinese and foreign rivers from an interdisciplinary perspective. In the course of history, rivers have a universal and profound connection with human development. Re-recognizing and understanding them means re-recognizing and understanding the history of human development. The China Canal is longer than the Panama Canal, Kiel Canal, Suez Canal, Rhine-Danube Canal, Sud Canal, and Irie Canal combined, and is more than 400 kilometers longer than the Turkmen Canal, known as the "King of Canals." It is truly the crown of the world's canals. "The History of China's Canals" gazes at the opening and closing of China's canals, listens to the great joys and sorrows of China's canals, and presents the grandeur and beauty of China's canals. It is a comprehensive historical record that records the excavation, development, and evolution of China's canals. It is a documentary that shows the formation and sublimation of China's canal culture from a wide perspective. It is a multi-dimensional picture depicting the majesty and grandeur of China's canals. The first series of the "Chinese and Foreign River Historical Biography Series" launches three volumes: "Historical Biography of the Yangtze River", "Historical Biography of the Yellow River" and "Historical Biography of the Canal". "Historical Biography of the Canal" is planned to be divided into several major sections: "The Source of the Canal", "The Cross-Flowing River", "The Fundamentals of the Country", "The Emergence of the World", "The Age of Heyday", "Receding and Fading Away", and "A Thousand Miles to the Real".

Reader comments
This book takes rivers as the "biographer" and interprets the history of China's canals from a completely new perspective. It is like a picture scroll, showing the excavation, development and evolution of the canal, which made me feel the majesty of China's canal culture. This reminds me of "History of the Yangtze River" and "History of the Yellow River". They are both good books about the history of Chinese rivers, as wonderful as "The World is on the River: The History of China's Canals". For those who like history and culture, this book is definitely worth reading.
