Tourism Development of the Material Cultural Heritage Around the Jiangxi-Guangdong Canal Under the Integration of Transportation and Tourism——Take the Jiangxi Section as an Example
The Jiangxi-Guangdong Canal is a golden waterway with a thousand year of cultural history.Since the Qin and Han Dynasties,China has gradually formed waterway transportation arteries with the Grand Canal,Yangtze Riv-er,Poyang Lake,Ganjiang River,and Beijiang River as the north-south longitudinal route.Along the routes,Jiu-jiang,Nanchang,and Ganzhou have also become important node cities connecting Guangzhou,Central Plains,and the capital.In ancient times,merchants and literati traveled alone the Jiangxi-Guangdong Canal,leaving behind a lot of historical and cultural heritage.Since modern times,numerous red cultural relics have also been preserved along the canal.However,due to the lack of connection between the cultural attractions and the lack of publicity,the mate-rial cultural heritage around the Jiangxi-Guangdong Canal has little influence domestically and internationally.A-gainst the backdrop of high attention paid to domestic shipping and canal transportation,vigorously protecting and developing the material cultural heritage of the Jiangxi section of the Jiangxi-Guangdong Canal plays an important role in assisting rural revitalization,accelerating the development of inter-provincial cultural and tourism industries,building the cultural brand of the Jiangxi-Guangdong Canal,and promoting Jiangxi's integration into the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
