The world-famous Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is the earliest and longest artificial river course in the world, which is 16 times that of Suez Canal and 33 times that of Panama Canal.

The Grand Canal starts from Beijing in the north and ends in Hangzhou in the south. It flows through six provinces and cities of Beijing, Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and connects five major water systems, namely Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River, with a total length of 1.794 km.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was built in the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,000 years ago, with a history of 2,500 years. An important river channel dug by Qin Shihuang in Jiaxing also laid the foundation for the future direction of the Jiangnan Canal. According to Yue Jue Shu, Qin Shihuang "ruled Lingshui Road from Jiaxing, crossed Qiantang River and crossed Zhejiang". About 2,500 years ago, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, dug a ditch, opened a canal connecting the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, and built Seoul, from which the canal and its culture were derived.

The Grand Canal we are talking about today was dug in the Spring and Autumn Period, completed in the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, straightened in the Yuan Dynasty, and dredged in the Ming and Qing Dynasties (dug in 486 BC and opened to traffic in A.D. 1293), which lasted 1779. In the long years, it has experienced three major construction processes. During the Sui Dynasty, Yang Di used millions of people to dig the Grand Canal, which made great contributions to the unprecedented prosperity of the country's economy and culture. After the development in Tang and Song Dynasties, it finally became a traffic artery connecting the five major water systems of Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River in Yuan Dynasty.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal consists of artificial rivers and some rivers and lakes, and the whole process can be divided into seven sections: (1) Tonghui River; (2) North Canal; (3) South Canal; (4) Lu Canal; (5) the middle canal; (6) Li Yunhe; (7) Jiangnan Canal. The Beijing-Hangzhou Universiade, as the main artery of north-south traffic, has played a great role in history. The navigation of the canal has promoted the rapid development of coastal cities.

Location: The Grand Canal starts from Beijing in the north and ends in Hangzhou in the south. It flows through six provinces and cities of Beijing, Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and connects five major water systems, namely Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River, with a total length of 1.794 km.

At present, the navigation mileage of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is 1442 km, of which the annual navigation mileage is 877 km, mainly distributed in Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces south of the Yellow River.

The Grand Canal is the second "golden waterway" in China after the Yangtze River.

The value of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is comparable to that of the Great Wall.

In March 2006, 58 CPPCC members jointly submitted a proposal to the Fourth Session of the Tenth Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, calling for the strategic rescue and protection of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and applying for world heritage projects at an appropriate time.

Among these 58 members, there are not only current and former CPPCC presidents in six provinces and cities along the Grand Canal, such as Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, but also two former National Cultural Heritage Administration Directors-Zhang Wenbin and Dan Jixiang. Celebrities such as Yi Shu and Wang Tiecheng also signed their names.

The success rate of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal "World Heritage Application" is extremely high.

Member Liu Feng, the first sponsor, said that the Grand Canal with profound historical and cultural heritage is known as the "Ancient Cultural Corridor", the ancient science and technology library, the museum of historical sites and scenic spots, and the folk custom showroom. Its historical remains are excellent physical materials for studying the politics, economy, culture and society of ancient China, and the best testimony of China's long history and civilization. From the perspective of protecting human civilization, the Grand Canal is not only unique in China, but also universally recognized in the development of human history. The water system of the Grand Canal stretches for thousands of miles, running through the north and south, forming a unique natural landscape and giving birth to a rich linear cultural landscape. If you add intangible cultural heritage that has not been well explored, the content will be more abundant.

"If you add up its historical value, cultural connotation and contribution to the historical development of China, it can be compared with the Great Wall to some extent." Zheng Heluo, two authoritative experts who called on China to join the Convention for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1985, predicted, "We firmly believe that the success rate of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal's application for the World Heritage is very high."

Make the overall protection plan of the Grand Canal as soon as possible.

"The Grand Canal and the Great Wall should be sisters in the heritage list," member Liu Feng reminded, but it must be noted that with the development of economy and society, the traditional function of the Grand Canal is gradually weakening, and its authenticity and integrity are being destroyed. If we don't pay attention to the protection work as important as "applying for the World Heritage", her history, culture, relics and natural scenery will inevitably degenerate and die out quickly, which will be an irreparable loss to the Chinese nation.

The protection of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the application for World Heritage are by no means a certain place ... >>

Question 2: There are many places of interest in my motherland. What have I visited? What, what, what, what and so on. I have been to the Forbidden City, Yuanmingyuan, the Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven, Xiangshan and so on.

Question 3: Write a composition about the places of interest I have visited. I haven't visited any historical sites. "Since then, I began to read more extracurricular books and open them, which greatly attracted me and made me feel that my choice was right. I remember a little story about reading in life. At that time, my parents and I went back to my grandmother's house. On the way, I have been holding a book in my hand and watching it with relish. My parents talked and laughed all the way. After a long time, I got home. Dad asked me to help move things into the house, and I thought to myself, if you move, why did you call me? Thinking, I didn't help either. They were chatting in the room, and after a while, we were leaving. On my way home, I got such a title-little book fan.

Question 4: The teacher asked us to visit some historical sites. Then write a survey report. In fact, .......................................................................................................................................................... doesn't have to put too much pressure on himself as a freshman, and the focus is still on his study. Your teacher may ask you to observe historical sites, write down what you think is important, and add your own analysis to form observation records.

Question 5: There are many places of interest in my motherland. What have I visited? What, what, what, what and so on. There are many places of interest in my motherland. I visited the Great Wall of Wan Li, the Terracotta Warriors, the Forbidden City and the Potala Palace.

Question 6: Talk about the places of interest in the Temple of Heaven that I visited in my essay. Autumn is crisp, sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, and the activities of the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month are rich and interesting. There are customs such as climbing mountains, enjoying chrysanthemums, drinking chrysanthemum wine, eating Chongyang cake and inserting dogwood. Next, I will introduce a custom of "climbing mountains". In ancient times, Chongyang had the folk custom of climbing, so Chongyang Festival was also called "Climbing Festival". According to legend, this custom began in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There are many climbing poems written by scholars in the Tang Dynasty, most of which are the custom of writing the Double Ninth Festival. Du Fu's Seven Laws "Ascending the Mountain" is a famous article about climbing the mountain in Chongyang. There is no uniform rule for climbing mountains. Generally, we climb mountains and towers.

According to legend, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a plague demon in Ruhe. As soon as it appeared, everyone died, and these people suffered a lot. He also took away the parents of the young man Hengjing. After Hengjing recovered from illness, he bid farewell to his wife and children and decided to go out to study in immortals and contribute to the people. He visited teachers everywhere to find a way out, and finally found a magical fairy in one of the oldest mountains. Hengjing braved hardships and traveled long distances, and finally found a magical fairy. Since then, Hengjing has worked hard to practice extraordinary martial arts. One day, the fairy called Hengjing and said, "Tomorrow is the ninth day of September, and the plague god is going to do evil again. You have learned your skills, and it's time to go back and kill people. " Xianchang gave Hengjing a bag of dogwood leaves and a cup of chrysanthemum wine, and secretly taught him how to ward off evil spirits. Heng Jing returned home. On the morning of the ninth day of September, he led the villagers to a nearby mountain according to the instructions of the fairy, and gave everyone a dogwood leaf and a cup of chrysanthemum wine. At noon, with several strange cries, the plague demon rushed out of Ruhe River. Suddenly he smelled incense and alcohol, and then he stopped suddenly. At this time, Heng Jing stabbed the plague demon for several rounds with his sword. Later, people regarded the custom of climbing on the Double Ninth Festival as an activity to avoid disasters. Double Ninth Festival means longevity, health and longevity. Double Ninth Festival is regarded as a festival for the elderly.

This also makes me feel something. This Sunday, our teacher asked me to wash my elders' feet, which was the first class. It occurred to me that I would wash grandma's feet on Sunday.

"Great, great ..." Oh, my grandmother came, and I quickly invited her into the house. Call mom quickly. Taking advantage of the hard-won opportunity for mom and grandma to talk, she quickly brought a basin, poured some hot water and touched the water. Alas, it burned to death! I poured some cold water again. Oh, it's cold again At this time, I remembered the word "never get angry properly", and immediately reminded myself that pouring some hot water was almost enough. I picked up soap and foot cloth again. She staggered to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, the Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. I specially washed your feet today. " Grandma said, "Ah, Cancan has really grown up and is sensible. Grandma is proud of you! " "I put grandma's feet in the water for a while. Rub it around your feet with soap again, and then rinse it with clean water. Repeat it several times in a row, and it will be almost enough! However, when I touched grandma's heel, something pricked me. When I looked, it turned out to be a thick cocoon. I think of grandma's hard work, washing clothes and cooking every day. I wash my feet more carefully! After washing, I looked at grandma's clean feet and was overjoyed. Grandma and mom both smiled with relief!

This year's Double Ninth Festival makes my life full and perfect!
