跨学科历史 Brad daydreamed throughout a history class and missed an important lesson on the Grand Canal. At night, he found himself stuck when doing his homework on this ancient Chinese project. A moment later, he thought of his Sight Pro, the smart glasses, and put them on.
“Teach me about the Grand Canal.” Before he knew it, this simple instruction took the boy on a journey along the canal. He started in Hangzhou and was now slowly travelling up north towards Yangzhou.
He was taking in the fascinating views on the banks of the canal when Sight Pro suddenly said,
“Are you giving me a quiz? Hmm, bring it on.”
A question appeared before his eyes: “What is the total length of the Grand Canal? Is it more than 1,000 kilometres or 2,000 kilometres?”
“I'll go for 1,000 kilometres.” It took Brad two seconds to decide.
“Wrong answer. The Grand Canal is a system of more than 2,000 kilometres of man-made waterways. It's the longest in the world.”
Then came the next question: “When did the building of the canal begin?”
“Was it in the 7th century?” Brad responded hesitantly.
“Wrong answer. It started in the 5th century BCE. After that, different sections were built at different times. In the 7th century, Emperor Yang of Sui expanded the canal to its present scale (规模) by linking the sections.”
“How amazing!” Brad continued his journey for a while.
Then came the third question: “Why was the Grand Canal built?”
“To make it easier for people to travel around the country.”
“Wrong answer. Its primary function was to transport food from the rich lands in the south to the capital city in the north. It was also used to transport goods.”
In the end, Brad scored zero on all the questions, but he was pleased that he had learned a lot.
“A big change happened to the Grand Canal during the Yuan Dynasty because the capital was moved to Beijing. Emperors needed new routes,” he wrote in response to one question.
“Mega job, Brad!” Sight Pro's sweet voice was heard again.
