For TYPE 2 questions:
The Grand Canal underwent major restoration in the Ming dynasty. With the capital transferred from Nanjing to Beijing, the canal was chosen to transport grain northward. The canal was not well preserved in the hundreds years prior to the 15th century, so restoration project was badly needed. It might be the most large-scale canal project in history ever. Gradually, not only grain was transported, but other sources of income like salt, cotton and flour were carried along the canal in both directions.
As a result, the port cities along the river began to thrive. Cities like Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou became trade centres, where hotels, restaurants, and many other businesses prospered. In this way, the canal promoted the economic growth of the districts along it. The country in the Ming dynasty would not have been so developed without the canal. With the passing of time, cultural exchanges between the south and the north occurred, closely uniting the country.
Though the canal is now not the major trade routes within our country with the rise of high-speed means of transport, it has its own ecological and cultural values. For example, the modern water diversion project makes the best use of the canal, benefiting the northern arid provinces. The ancient port cities now feature canal museums, where visitors can walk and feel like part of the history. In this sense, the traditional culture can be passed on to future generations through our preservation of the canal.
