A brief note on Great canal
Answers
Answer:
As the world's longest man-made canal, the Grand Canal is a vast waterway system in the north-eastern and central-eastern plains of China, running from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang province in the south.
The Grand Canal is one of the greatest hydraulic projects in human history, stretching 1,794 kilometers. Constructed in sections from the 5th century AD onwards, it was conceived as a unified means of communication for the Empire for the first time in the Sui Dynasty (7th century AD). By the 13th century it consisted of more than 2,000 km of artificial waterways, linking five of China's main river basins.
The canal was a pillar for the economy, social stability and government functions in ancient China. It also helped the evolution of Chinese culture by enhancing communication between the south and the north.
