Li Xinjian, an associate professor of the School of Architecture of Southeast University, told Xinhua Daily · Jiao Dianjian reporter that he and his team have recently been studying Southern Jiangsu The content of the Northern Jiangsu Grand Canal Network involves a large number of historical and cultural protection, urban design and other topics. In Li Xinjian's view, in terms of protection, inheritance, and using the Grand Canal, the Grand Canal cannot be regarded as a line, but a web; it cannot only be regarded as a river, and it should be noticed that it is related to the entire socio -economic and people's livelihood. The problem, the Grand Canal is inseparable from our lives, and we must have more deeper and systematic research on its research.
