According to the most reUable accounts, it was commenced in the sixth century B.C., and finished in only A.D. 1283.
The most ancient part is that which hes between the Yang- tsze and the Hwai-ho. The southern part, extending from Hangchow to Chinkiang, was constructed from A.D. 605 to 617. The upper part, extending from the old bed of the Hwang-ho to T'ientsin, was constructed by the Emperor Shi Tsu of the Yuen dynasty, and completed within a space of three years (A.D. 1280-1283). Shi Tsu then ...transferred his capital from Hangchow to Peking. As the northern provinces were not very fertUe, and the trade along the sea- board unsafe, he was forced to get provisions from the south- ern provinces. He therefore resolved to complete the work left unfinished by his predecessors.
