Abstract
Liangzhu Water Conservancy Project and Dujiangyan irrigation system are both large-scale water conservancy engineering systems in ancient China. They not only bring benefits to Chinese history and Chinese civilization in terms of Engineering benefits. but also embody two aspects of Chinese traditional culture that correspond to each other in their concepts of “blocking” and “dredging”, and infiltrate the way of doing things and the philosophy of life of ancient and modern Chinese people
