Abstract
Yangzhou is a prominent city in the bid for World Heritage status for the Grand Canal and is one of the key cities along its route. Since the canal was excavated by King Fuchai of Wu, it has significantly influenced the urban layout and developmental scale of Yangzhou. The canal has played a crucial role in the city's prosperity and growth. This article categorizes the development of the canal and the city of Yangzhou into five stages: emergence from the canal, growth due to the canal, prosperity linked to the canal, decline resulting from the reduction of water transportation, and revival in the modern era. While examining the historical transformations of the canal, the article also investigates the interactive relationship between the canal and the development of Yangzhou at various historical stages. The role of canals has evolved over time, and advancements in science and technology have endowed them with new and diverse functions, continuing to propel urban progress. This continually evolving relationship underscores the dynamic interaction between canals and urban development, illuminating the connection between the two. Reason: Improved vocabulary, enhanced readability and clarity, and corrected grammatical and punctuation errors.
