It is an important hub connecting the Sui-Tang Grand Canal with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and is an important passage through the Yellow River, Huai River and Yangtze River water systems. From the Sui and Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Tongyu for more than 1,000 years played a very important role in promoting the political, economic and cultural development of that time. Here once as an important canal along the shops pier, thousands of miles, day and night, you like Su Shi, rice dumplings, Pirixiu and other Tang and Song people, have left a lot of poems reflecting the bustling canal of Sizhou and Sixian.

In the new century, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Party, the protection of the Sixian section of the Grand Canal has entered a new chapter.
