Through the route of the Grand Canal, it can be seen that Yang Guang built the Grand Canal for enjoy

During the Sui Dynasty, the Grand Canal built by Yang Guang was a project that was extremely disgusting to the common people, and in the eyes of most people at that time, the only role of the Grand Canal built by Yang Guang was to work the people and make the people suffer hardship. So, what was the purpose of Yang Guang's construction of the Grand Canal at that time, and was he really just for his own enjoyment? Experts say that if you connect the routes of the Grand Canal, you will understand.

Before Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal, there were actually many canals all over the country, which were left by the predecessors, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty just linked these canals. Among these canals, the Jiangnan Canal, the Hangou Canal, the Tongji Canal and the Yongji Canal are the more important things, and they only need to be opened to form a larger canal.

In ** and romance, the image of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty is particularly poor, in these literary works, Yang Guang is a greedy and lustful guy, he dug the Grand Canal just to go to the south of the Yangtze River to see the scenery. Although there is some truth in such a statement, it has smeared Yang Guang to a certain extent. Although he is a man of great joy, he is actually a very capable person.

After experts linked the Grand Canal built by Emperor Yang of Sui, they discovered a peculiar phenomenon. On the back of the Grand Canal is the Zhuozhou area, which is the modern city of Baoding, if Emperor Yang of Sui really wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River to play, there was no need to build a canal to the north. The westernmost end of the Grand Canal is Chang'an, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, and the southern end is the Yuhang region.

In other words, the Grand Canal encompasses the north and south of the great river, and closely links the whole country together. Therefore, experts believe that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty built the canal to facilitate transportation and lay a good foundation for future water transportation. Objectively speaking, Yang Guang did take a boat to the south of the Yangtze River after the construction of the Grand Canal, but this is just an additional convenience, and it is definitely not Yang Guang's original intention to build the Grand Canal.

Objectively speaking, the birth of the entire Grand Canal has provided great convenience for China's transportation. It's a pity that Yang Guang was too anxious, he didn't plan it slowly, but couldn't wait to carry out construction and construction, which caused a great burden to the people. Because of this, the Sui Dynasty fell so quickly.

If he does it slowly, he may be called Mingjun.

Yang Guang's purpose in repairing the Grand Canal is to connect the north and the south, promote the economic development of the south, and enhance the overall strength of the country, which is a project for the benefit of future generations.

No. Yang Guang built the Grand Canal not for enjoyment, but mainly to consolidate his rule over the whole country and make the regime more stable.

It's not for enjoyment. Yang Guang's purpose in repairing the Grand Canal was to strengthen cultural exchanges between the north and the south and lay the foundation for his next rule.

Of course not. The opening of the Grand Canal was mainly for political and economic reasons, and the purpose of his trip was only incidental. Although later generations say that Yang Di is an absurd emperor and that the canal is only opened for pleasure, looking back on history, the evaluation of Yang Di is still extremely pertinent.

He opened the Grand Canal in order to make great efforts, that is, to restore the national strength in the shortest possible time, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. The capital of the Sui Dynasty was built in Chang'an, and the Guanzhong region was wealthy. However, the limited means of production here are far from being able to meet the growing consumer needs of the Sui Dynasty and the army.

This necessitates the transportation of the means of subsistence and production from other regions to the capital. By digging a canal running through the north and south, it is convenient to transport the private wealth of Kanto and Jiangnan to the imperial capital, and it can also promote economic and cultural exchanges between the north and the south. Politically, the Sui Dynasty simply unified China.

In order to consolidate power and unify the situation, it is necessary to further control the newly unified south-east. At that time, the class contradictions in Jiangnan and the contradictions within the landlord class were always acute. In 590 AD, the Jiangnan gentry Shen Xuangui and Wang Hua gathered to oppose the Sui Dynasty, or the Son of Heaven or the Governor.

Emperor Wen of Sui mobilized his army and spent two years quelling the rebellion in Jiangnan. In 600 AD, Li Yinglin rose up in Xizhou (now Anqing City, Anhui Province), and the Liao people of Chaozhou rose up the following year. Due to the continuous uprisings of the people in the south, Emperor Wen of Sui issued an edict to confiscate all the ** in the world and strictly prohibit private manufacturing.

At the same time, Jiangnan people are forbidden to build large ships without permission. All vessels over 3 feet in height will be confiscated by the state. Yang Di ordered the construction of the Grand Canal to allow unimpeded traffic between the north and the south and strengthen his rule over the south.

Yang Di has visited Jiangdu three times.

He didn't just want to enjoy the flowers and beautiful scenery along the way, but for a better field trip. At that time, the treasury was empty, although it could support normal life for a short time. Yang Di feared that one day disaster would befall him, and the treasury would be unable to ensure the normal life of the people.

Therefore, I wanted to open the Grand Canal to vigorously develop agriculture and store enough grain before the drought came. Of course, the Grand Canal also played an important role in transporting troops. In Chinese history, in order to consolidate political power, the feudal rulers of each dynasty made frequent conquests and expeditions to various places.

In order to ensure the transportation of a large amount of grain and grass needed for military operations, it is absolutely necessary to build canals to communicate between the north and the south for water transportation.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty dug the Grand Canal with the purpose of building a highway from Luoyang to Danyang, through rapid economic and cultural exchanges, to integrate the rich Central Plains and the Jiangnan region, and to promote the development of Sichuan and the central and southern regions; It's not for the convenience of yourself.

The purpose is to defend against foreign invasions, not to facilitate his own play, which is everyone's misunderstanding of him. I think he did the right thing.

The main purpose is to divert water from the south to the north, and it is also to be able to develop the economy on both sides of the strait, not to facilitate one's own play.

Yang Guangxiu's Grand Canal is now called the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is the world's longest mileage, the largest ancient canal, and also one of the oldest canals, and the Great Wall, Karez and called the three great projects of ancient China, and the use of so far, is a great project created by the ancient Chinese working people, is one of the symbols of China's cultural status.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is 1,797 kilometers long, using the original natural rivers and lakes, and some sections of the river are excavated artificially, and the canal water flow is mainly replenished from the natural channels that communicate. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is the longest man-made canal in the world and an important north-south water artery in China.

The Grand Canal starts from Yuhang in the south, reaches Zhuo County in the north, passes through the four provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei and Tianjin and Beijing, and runs through the five major water systems of Haihe, Yellow River, Huai River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River, the main water source is Weishan Lake, and the Grand Canal is about 1794 kilometers long. The canal has played a huge role in the economic and cultural development and exchanges between the northern and southern regions of China, especially the development of the industrial and agricultural economy along the route.
