Historical origin

The origin of the Grand Canal lies in Yangzhou. In 486 BC, "Wu Cheng Han communicated with Jiang Huai" (Zuo Zhuan). Hangou, excavated in Yangzhou by Fu Chai, king of Wu, became the starting section of the Grand Canal. The Grand Canal was excavated by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty on a large scale. It was built on the basis of Hangou with Yangzhou as the center. In the long years after that, although the ancient canal experienced migration, the central position of Yangzhou never changed. Hangou is the earliest canal in the world, while Yangzhou is the earliest and the only "canal city" of the same age as the ancient canal in China.

In the history books, it is used to describe the scene of digging Hangou. Han City on Shugang became the former enemy's headquarters for fuchai to go north. Hangou passes around the city from Shugang and connects with Huaihe River. According to the records of Hanshu Yiwenzhi and shuijingzhu by Li Daoyuan, the route of Hangou is to draw water from the Changjiang River to the south, then from the southwest corner of Hancheng near Guanyin Mountain to the southeast corner of tiefosi to the south of the city, then to the north through Luosiwan and huangjinba, and then to the northwest of Gaoyou through Wuguang Lake (later known as Wu'an Lake) and Luyang Lake (also known as Luyang Lake) 50 li of Fanliang Lake (also known as Fanliang lake, namely fanguang Lake); to the northeast, it enters Bozhi Lake (also known as Bozhi lake, namely Guangyang Lake) 60 Li southeast of Baoying, and Sheyang Lake 60 Li northeast of Baoying; from the northwest of the lake to the north of Shanyang (now Huaian Chuzhou), it flows into huaishui. Because of the use of natural lakes to reduce man-made, so the Hangou line twists and turns, the total length of about 400 Li. Hangou also has the names of Hanjiang, Hanjiang, Qushui, hanminggou and zhongdushui.
