The Chineese built the Grand Canal because they thought it would be really cool.
The Grand Canal of China was initiated during the Sui Dynasty, specifically under the rule of Emperor Yang of Sui, who reigned from 604 to 618 AD. He aimed to connect the northern and southern parts of China to facilitate trade and military movement. The canal was expanded and improved in subsequent dynasties, particularly during the Tang and Song dynasties, becoming a vital transportation route in Chinese history.
