圖文閱讀:世界開鑿最早最長人工運河JINGHANG CANAL

The famous Great Canal is the longest and earliest manual-canal in the world. It located in China and Linking Beijing and Hangzhou, and the feeder service is expected to undercut land service prices. The service also offers a degree of convenience since cargo will no longer have to be cleared by customs in different locations.

舉世聞名的京杭大運河，是世界上開鑿最早、最長的一條人工河道。 坐落於中國連接北京和杭州。爲發展南北交通，溝通南北之間經濟、文化等方面的聯繫作出了巨大的貢獻。



The Great Canal is also called the Jinghang Canal, and the Yunhe River for short. It is a great water conservancy project in ancient times. It starts north in Beijing and ends south in Hangzhou City with a total length of 1,794 kilometers, connecting the Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River, Qiantangjiang River, in total five river systems, ranking the longest canal in the world.

大運河又叫京杭大運河。它是遠古時期一項偉大的水力管理工程。京杭大運河全長1794千米，是世界上最長的一條人工運河，是蘇伊士運河的16倍，巴拿馬運河的33倍，縱貫南北，是我國重要的一條南北水上幹線。它北起北京，南至杭州，經過北京、天津、河北、山東、江蘇、浙江六省市，溝通了海河、黃河、淮河、長江、錢塘江五大水系。在歷史上，不僅便利了南北大量物資的運輸交換，也有助於我國的政治、經濟和文化的發展。由於年久失修，大運河的運輸能力沒有得到完全發揮。目前，京杭運河的通航里程爲1442千米，其中全年通航里程爲877千米，主要分佈在黃河以南的山東、江蘇和浙江三省。



The whole course of the Great Canal covers seven sections: the one from the city zone of Beijing to Tongxian County is called the Tonghui River, from Tongxian County to Tianjin called the North Canal, from Tianjin to Linqing called the South Canal, from Linqing to Tairzhuang called the Lu Canal, from Tairzhuang to Huaiyin called the Central Canal, from Huaiyin to Yangzhou called the Inner Canal (also called Gangou, which is the earliest canal in China), and across the Yangtze River the one from Zhenjiang to Hangzhou called the Jiangnan Canal.

京杭大運河是由人工河道和部分河流、湖泊共同組成的，全程可分爲七段：

（1）通惠河：北京市區至通縣，連接溫榆河、昆明湖、白河，並加以疏通而成；

（2）北運河：通縣至天津市，通縣至天津市，利用潮白河的下游挖成；

（3）南運河：天津至臨清，利用衛河的下游挖成；

（4）魯運河：臨清至臺兒莊，利用汶水、泗水的水源，沿途經東平湖、南陽湖、昭陽湖、微山湖等天然湖泊；

（5）中運河：臺兒莊至清江；

（6）裏運河：清江至揚州，入長江；

（7）江南運河：鎮江至杭州。
