Was Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty really digging the Grand Canal just for his own fun?

Many of the projects built during the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty were disadvantageous at the time, and the Grand Canal not only allowed Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to have fun, but also connected the economy of the north and south of China.

Not exactly. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had a certain political talent, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty should have dug the Grand Canal to better manage the south, promote economic exchanges between the south and the north, and at the same time dig it for his own fun.

It's not just for their own fun, there was a granary in Luoyang at that time, and there were also in the south, in order to consolidate the rule of the south, but also for the cultural exchanges between the north and the south, there was also transportation, although the sin is in the contemporary, but the merit is in the future.

In part, the Grand Canal was labor-injure, but it also played a great role in promoting the flow of goods and the exchange between the north and the south.

Yes, he was a tyrant in history, who cared only for his own pleasure and did not care about the suffering of the people, only to inadvertently become an economic path for the development of society.

Part of it is that the excavation of the Grand Canal can make it more convenient for Emperor Yang of Sui to collect the beauties of the world, but on the other hand, the excavation of the Grand Canal can defend against foreign enemies.

Not exactly. In addition to having fun, part of it is to defend against foreign invasions.

No, there is this ingredient, but Emperor Yang of Sui is an emperor anyway, and there must be civil and military officials to help analyze the feasibility of this matter before doing something, so in fact, the impact on the economy was also considered at that time.

Yes, indeed. The Grand Canal was originally built for the emperor's amusement, but later it was in the wrong place, and the Grand Canal brought a lot of benefits and convenience to future generations.

From a historical point of view, China's concentrated canal digging began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, the water transportation of natural rivers could no longer meet the needs of the troops to transport military rations, and the vassal states began to dig canals on a large scale in order to cope with the imminent war. After Wu Wangfucha annexed the Yue Kingdom, in order to go north to compete with the Qi State and the Jin State for hegemony, he dug a ditch in the tenth year of Fucha.

In order to reduce the amount of work, the ditch is connected to lakes and artificial channels by using the natural river channel between the Yangtze River and the Huai River as much as possible. After the ditch was successfully excavated, Wu's navy and fleet could go north through the ditch to enter the Huai River, go up the Huai River, and enter Surabaya and Yishui to reach the Qi State. In the twelfth year of the husband, after the state of Wu destroyed the state of Qi, he used this waterway to start competing with the Jin state for hegemony.

Historical development, Wu Wangfucha built the ditch after successive dynasties of continuous construction, the route gradually straightened, to the Song Dynasty, this canal has been completely canalized, called Huaiyang Canal. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, it became part of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. And the lotus water is another canal dug by the state of Wu in order to annex the state of Jin.

It was excavated in the middle of numerous lakes between Jishui, a tributary of the Yellow River, and Surabaya, a tributary of the Huai River. It connects Surabaya and Jishui, thus linking the water of the Huai River and the Yellow River, so that the transportation between the Central Plains and the Jianghuai region can be improved, and the economy can be exchanged.

The original intention was supposed to be to play for myself, but after digging it out, I found that it could dredge the economic path at that time. It was a bonus.

He dug the canal for the sake of diverting water from the south to the north and developing the economy on both sides of the strait, of course, not only for his own convenience.

The opening of waterways facilitates transportation.

At that time, land transportation was difficult and expensive, while water transportation was relatively fast and convenient. It can be seen that the excavation of canals is an indispensable and important strategy. It will also speed up the rapid economic development of the two sides of the strait.

It can be said that the Grand Canal he built is indeed much more convenient. It's just that the huge cost made him toss the country too.

The Grand Canal also solves the problem of drought and flooding.

At that time, the economy was backward, and there were very few water conservancy constructions. As a result, there is no remedy for the damage caused by heavy rains or dry seasons. However, the excavation of the Grand Canal will fundamentally solve all these problems, and it can also mobilize economic and cultural exchanges between the people on both sides of the strait.

From ancient times to the present, the Grand Canal has been renovated for so many years, and it has played an increasingly important role. Although the emperor has a bad reputation, this matter is still very useful.

The Grand Canal was not built by Yang Guang.

The Grand Canal he only extended part of it. The Grand Canal was built in the Spring and Autumn Period, when it was built for military needs. The Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty was to connect and extend the original Grand Canal, forming a water system that runs through the capital Luoyang to Zhuojun, connecting the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, and is also the greatest water conservancy project in ancient times.

It can be said that the economic development of the south is very fast, and it is also for the reconciliation of the economy of the north and the south, and the excavation of the canal is also indispensable. In this way, it will be more convenient for the economy and customs of the two places to coexist, and drive the economic development of the two places faster. The excavation of the Grand Canal is indeed a bit of a waste of money and labor, but it also has a lot of benefits.

The most important thing is that Yang Guang is a little too hasty, and the damage caused to the people is also very great.

Today, the Grand Canal is still in operation, it has witnessed the decline and rise and fall of history, and has made a lot of contributions to mankind.

Not. In fact, at the beginning, he still wanted to govern the country well. Therefore, by digging canals, the development of the economy is guaranteed.

This is because Yang Guang's ruling ability at that time was still very good, he wanted to open up the frontier and vigorously develop water transportation; I don't think it's for him to be easy to play.

Because the excavation of canals can facilitate the conquest of Goguryeo, and can promote economic and cultural exchanges between the north and the south; Not.

In order to develop the economy of the north and south, the demolition of the New Year's sales is also to integrate the cultural sparrow attacks of the north and the south, so the Grand Canal will be dug, and the impact of tourism on the economy at that time is also very large.

The purpose is to be able to defend the country and the local people, but in fact, the intention is good.

The reason why Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the Grand Canal was mainly to strengthen the north-south traffic and consolidate the Sui Dynasty's rule over the whole country. After the unification of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty made great efforts to govern the country, adopted a series of measures to reform the system of the previous dynasty, strengthened the centralization of power, and developed rapidly in the social economy.

During the Kaihuang period, the Sui Empire had a vast territory, strong national strength, and a substantial increase in population and cultivated area, which was the opening of the Grand Canal with economic strength. The unification of the Sui Dynasty was due to the possibility that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would levy millions of people. There are several sections of ancient canals dug in previous generations as the basis.

The economic value of the Grand Canal: After the opening of the Grand Canal, it has not only become a link between the north and the south politically, economically, and culturally, but also a hub for connecting the "Silk Road" and the maritime "Silk Road" in Asia. Promote the development of towns, industry and commerce in coastal areas.

The Grand Canal of Sui and Tang Dynasties spans more than 10 latitudes of the earth, runs through the North China Plain and the southeast coastal area of the richest part of China, and spans Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang 8 provinces and municipalities directly under the central government.
