I read the novel "Going North" during the Spring Festival, which was really good. It has stories, feelings, a heavy history and a little love for present life.

I'll give you Baidu first, the information about popular science "going north".

Having said that, let's read a book. At first, I thought it was about the history of war. I didn't know it was about the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal until I read it.

Why write about the Grand Canal? What does the canal say?

Xu wrote in "Going to the North" that since the Yuan Dynasty, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has been not only a river for transporting troops and grain between the north and the south, but also the most important channel for political, economic, cultural and phenological exchanges. The "richness" of culture also needs convenient transportation. Give a data: there were 1 14 champions in the Qing dynasty for more than 260 years, and there were 26 in Suzhou, accounting for nearly a quarter. Why is Suzhou so well-developed and has a long history? Because the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal runs through Suzhou, it is the traffic artery.

Others say that novels are broad and vigorous. That's true. This story is very wonderful. His writing skills are very special. At first glance, the monks in Zhang Er are confused. He thought it was just a collection of short stories. After careful study, he realized that the stories of these characters were wonderfully conceived and interrelated, and they would not be solved until the end. With two clues of history and present, he tells the "secret history" of several families on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal for a hundred years. This paper discusses the great influence of the Grand Canal on China's politics, economy, geography, culture and the changes of the world and people's feelings, and writes a century-old spiritual map of the Grand Canal and the rebirth of a nation.

"North" is the north of geography, but also the north of context and spirit. Big water soup, upstream north. Youth company, return home.
