Sui and Tang Dynasty Giant Project
In the late 500s, the Sui Dynasty began construction on the Grand Canal, which linked China’s two major rivers, the Huang He and the Yangzi. The later Tang Dynasty expanded on the project. The completion of the Grand Canal highlights the Tang Dynasty’s emphasis on commerce. Under the Tang, silk production increased, the Silk Road continued to be a prominent highway for trade, and China’s fleet of trading junks (some of the world’s best ships) participated in the Indian Ocean trade network.
