1, "When the Tao is exhausted, Sui dies like this river" comes from "Two Poems of Nostalgia on the Bianhe River" written by Pi Rixiu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, which is the Bianhe River, that is, Tongji Canal. When Yang Di was in the Sui Dynasty, people in Huaibei, Henan Province dug a grand canal called Tongji Canal. From Xiyuan, Luoyang, Luoer's water flows into the Yellow River, and then flows into Bianshui and Tongji Canal through the Yellow River. It was built in the Sui Dynasty. In order to distinguish it from the ancient Bianshui, it was also called Bianhe after the Sui Dynasty, which was the first phase of the Sui and Tang Grand Canal.
The Grand Canal dug in Yang Di started in 605 AD and was completed in less than 6 years, with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers. Tongji Canal is the main artery connecting Yellow River civilization and Huaihe River civilization. At that time, the towns on both sides of Tongji Canal were prosperous and there were many shops. At that time, Songzhou rapidly developed into a famous metropolis in China. By the Northern Song Dynasty, Nanjing was built for its prosperity.
Yang Di's motive for opening the Grand Canal is nothing more than satisfying his own pleasure and consuming a lot of people's fat and paste, which has become his most famous atrocity. In order to satisfy his luxurious life, Emperor Yang Di overhauled the palace gardens and left palaces everywhere. When Emperor Yang visited Jiangdu, he led 100,000 to 200,000 people, including kings, officials, queens and maids. The fleet is more than 200 miles long, and all the counties he passes through have to contribute food within 500 miles, which is very serious.
4. Many works in Tang poetry allege that Sui died in the construction of the Grand Canal, which is beneficial to later generations, but the atrocities are still atrocities. After the completion of the canal, Emperor Yang Di led 200,000 people to travel alone on a four-story "dragon boat", nine three-story "water halls" called floating scenery, and numerous miscellaneous boats. The ship is more than 300 miles long, and there are nearly 10,000 people holding the ship, all wearing colorful clothes and shining on land and water. Its extravagance and waste are really unheard of in history.
Extended data:
Pi Rixiu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, wrote two poems "Looking at the Ancient River", which described Yang Di's luxury fleet going to the Western Ocean and the geographical environment of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, implied the historical fact that Yang Di was killed by the Ministry and warned the Tang Dynasty. Pi Rixiu's criticism of Yang Di is very obvious. While criticizing Emperor Yang Di, the poem did not objectively obliterate the Grand Canal in Sui Dynasty.
Two nostalgic poems by Bian River
Thousands of Cai Chuanjun were driven in the middle of Cui and on both sides of the canal, but the motorcade did not return to Yangzhou.
It should be God who taught people to open the Bianhe River. There is not a mountain on the ground for a thousand miles.
It is said that the Sui Dynasty perished because of this river, but now it is still flowing, and the north and south ships are unimpeded.
If there is no water temple dragon boat, there are not many theories about * * *.
Explanation:
Thousands of floating boats sailed among the green willows on both sides of the canal, but the fleet was transported to Yangzhou and never came back.
God should have taught people to open the Bianhe River. There is not a mountain on the ground for more than 1000 miles.
It is said that the Sui Dynasty perished because of this river, but it is still flowing, so the north and south ships are unimpeded.
If it weren't for the dragon boat patrol in Jiangdu, Yang Di's achievements would be equally divided with Dayu's.
