It has influenced the development of Chinese economics (经济) and culture for hundreds of years.
Before it was built, people in ancient China used horses and oxen (公牛), or simply traveled on foot, to trade goods (货物).It was impossible to transport (运输) large-sized goods.After the Grand Canal connected the north and the south, business and cultural exchanges were able to develop further.
In fact, the Grand Canal played an important role in the building of the Forbidden City (紫禁城).Materials from different parts of the country were sent to Beijing through the canal, including bricks (砖) fired in Shandong and Jiangsu and wood cut in Hunan.People even owe the beginning of Beijing duck to the canal.White lake ducks in the south were shipped to Beijing.They were then kept to make Beijing duck.People from all walks of life preferred to get together along the canal.They shared their experiences, traditions and culture with others.

China has accepted western fashion and technology as it has developed these years, but a lot of young people are turning to the past for their clothes choices and putting on traditional “hanfu”.
As the government encourages the renaissance (复兴) of traditional culture, hanfu is getting more and more popular with the teenagers. Every year, we can enjoy different hanfu shows around the cities. These shows bring us back to Han Dynasty. We learn more about the history, culture and beauty from them.
Hanfu hasn’t been in the same style since Han Dynasty. However, this kind of clothes has something in common. They all have large soft robes (袍子), with sleeves that hang down to the knees, so the hands can’t be seen.
In modern China, the hanfu lovers are from history fans, cartoon fans to clothes fans.
“Clothes are the basic part of culture, so both the traditional clothes and modern clothes play the same role in culture,” said Zhang Jun, a famous reporter. “If the people and the country do not even understand our traditional clothes or don’t wear them, how can we talk about other important parts of our culture ”
