The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was built in 486 BC and has a history of more than 2,500 years. Qin Shihuang dug an important waterway in Jiaxing, laying the foundation for the future direction of the Jiangnan Canal. According to "Yue Jueshu", Qin Shihuang "governed the Ling Waterway from Jiaxing to Qiantang Yue, passing through Zhejiang", from which canals and canal culture were derived.
The Grand Canal was excavated in the Spring and Autumn Period, completed in the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, organized in the Yuan Dynasty, and dredged in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Over the long years, it has undergone three major repairs. The last repair was called the "Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal".
The Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are not the same canal. There are differences between the two. This title is just the intuitive impression of most people. In fact, the real statement is that construction began as early as the time of Wu Zixu. Well, in order to answer the question, we chose Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.
