Tongji Canal, which was dug in the first year of DaYe in Sui Dynasty(605A.D.) , is the important component of northern-southern Grand Canal in China. The Canal with 630 kilometers length, has promoted the development of Sui ,Tang and Song Dynasties. It has the different economic function and social degree between its water transportation and land transportation. As soon as the Canal was built from the beginning, the mud and sand of River Huanghe threatened its transportation.
