A historical geography research of canals in China[electronic resource] /by Nianhai Shi. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2025. - xiv, 319 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1. The Utilization of Natural Waterways in Ancient Times -- Chapter 2. Canal Construction in the Pre-Qin Period and Its Impact -- Chapter 3. The Rehabilitation of the Canal Transport Network during the Qin and Han -- Chapter 4. The Destruction and Restoration of the Canal Transport Network After the Eastern Han Dynasty -- Chapter 5. The Excavation of Canals During the Sui Dynasty and Its Impact -- Chapter 6. The Eastward Shift of the Political Center and the Obstruction of the Canal System -- Chapter 7. The Construction and Decline of the Grand Canal -- Chapter 8. The Decline and Restoration of the Grand Canal.

This book summarizes the historical changes of China's canals, sorting out the use of waterways from ancient times to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the evolution of the water transport network and its relationship with politics and economy, and revealing the interaction between geographical environment and human activities. This book breaks through the traditional historical geography research framework, and through the examination of cases such as the early canal engineering of the Chu State and the water transport function of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it introduces a theoretical system of how transportation progress favors a process of geographical changes, laying the foundation for the study of canal water conservancy history. This book is included in the academic communication project in China after the announcement of China's Grand Canal to be selected onto the UNESCO World Heritage sites.
