The Grand Canal of China flows through Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, connecting the five major water systems of the Hai River, Huai River, Yellow River, Yangtze River, and Qiantang River, as well as the Central Plains culture, Jiangnan culture, and other cultural resources.

It examines the historical and cultural resources associated with the Grand Canal, providing a systematic organization of the cultural assets and modes of life that have developed along its route.
