Explanation:
The above question and answers talk about the grand canal which is a world heritage identified by UNESCO. It is categorized as the oldest canal in the world and the canal with the longest stretch over 1,776 km miles that cut across the city of Beijing to Hangzhou in China which join two major rivers of River Yangtze and the Yellow River.
It is a Chinese heritage that was built to help them to ship grains from the major parts of south China which have fertile soil for farming to Beijing which is the country's capital.
Also, we just made it clear that the grand canal was synonymous with the Sui Dynasty. It was important to the Dynasty as a result of the transportation of the grains as earlier mentioned, the movement of raw materials, and also to ease the movement of soldiers guarding the northern part of China.
Moreover, the erection of the canals lasted up to six years with millions of Chinese used as laborers because of the magnitude of the project.
The grand canal with other canals aided the development of the transportation and commerce system in ancient China and is still used to date.
In conclusion, the grand canal as the key to the inland waterways in China's north to the central east of China stretch or has moved along the major eight provinces of today's China
