"Based on the past 30-years' research on the technical and cultural values of China's Grand Canal, this book, based on interdisciplinary research, studies the natural and social background of the evolution and development of different sections of the Grand Canal in different historical periods, as well as the interrelations between the Grand Canal and the Chinese politics, economics, and culture. It also assesses the effects of the Grand Canal on the progress of the Chinese civilization, engineering technology achievement, the natural environment, and the society, providing the readers with an understanding of China's Grand Canal from the perspectives of hydraulic engineering and history"--

This book traces the technical history of China's Grand Canal, including natural history, engineering and technical perspectives, canal management practices in different periods, and the relationship between the canal and Chinese politics, economics, and culture, as well as impacts on the progress of Chinese civilization, engineering technology and transportation management, the natural environment, and society. It also assesses the Grand Canal’s core values based on evaluation criteria for world cultural heritage, the natural characteristics of each canal section, and heritage content. It also discusses the Tonghui Canal, the North Canal, the South Canal, the Huitong Canal, the Huaiyang Canal, the Jiangnan Canal, and the Zhedong Canal and their history and key projects.
