| The canal is one of the important results of human intervention on the natural water resources and its distribution.The construction of the canal reflects the creativity and subjective initiative of human beings.China is a country with a well-developed canal civilization.From Hangou in the Spring and Autumn Period,to Zheng Guoqu and Dujiangyan in the Warring States Period,to the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the Ming and Qing Dynasties,the canal has always been the development of Chinese society and the management of national finances and taxes.The exchange of North-South culture and the formation of commercial civilization on both sides of the Canal play an important role.This is especially reflected in the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.Once the canal is formed,as a part of the river,it has its own subjective characteristics.It shows the independence of a certain value existence,and embodies a certain justice function or role in it.The acquisition of this subjectivity comes from the projection of human will.Therefore,as a form of "artificial nature",the canal not only reflects the level of human understanding of natural ecosystems,but also deepens the harmony between man and nature in the process of excavation,maintenance and use of the canal.And constructed a canal civilization featuring this artificial nature.On the other hand,with the emergence of the canal,it has also formed its own independent ecosystem,which has its own role,existence and function display in the natural environment and social development.The so-called justice connotation of the canal does not mean that the canal itself has a certain moral consciousness and practical motivation,but that the formation of the canal is invested by humans in their own understanding of the justice connotation of social development.It is based on the morality of mankind in a certain historical period.Connotation and reflection in the relationship between man and nature.In other words,the justice and injustice of the canal are based on the understanding of social justice by groups in a certain area and reflect the value standards of certain groups.In promoting the development of social fairness and justice,the canal is endowed with justice value by human beings,so that it can satisfy people’s desire for fairness and justice through the reasonable distribution of resources and responsibilities.Contradictions are universal.The canal not only has justice value,but also causes injustice.In some areas,the reservoirs that were originally used to supply agriculture have turned to the development of water transportation due to the implementation of the "protecting water" policy,which limits the speed of agricultural development.For example,the construction of the Grand Canal and its subsequent maintenance have not only increased the country’s fiscal expenditures and people’s taxes,but also caused some laborers to pay their lives,and to a certain extent intensified social conflicts,resulting in partial or even longer duration.Long injustice.In some areas,the construction of the canal will also have an impact on the “ natural ” ecology along the way.In particular,the implementation of the “ preservation of water ” policy has also made some lakes and reservoirs along the canal become the victims of maintaining the water transport of the canal."Natural" problems are transformed into social problems,from natural injustice to social injustice.In history,the canal reflects people’s pursuit and effort to overcome nature and pursue justice.In today ’ s high-tech era,the canal still has a certain social value(especially between continents),but its subjective characteristics,Forms of existence,and functions are very different from those in history.However,the perspective on the justice of the canal has a certain reference value for the modern value of the canal,serving the development of society,and promoting the harmonious construction of man and nature. |
