To solve the problems，including single molding and unstable structure，of the traditional revetment of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal，this paper focuses on a channel regulation project on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and applies two new materials，i.e.，molding templates and split blocks，to the armor of the concrete gravity revetment. By investigating the application of the two types of revetment molding，this paper summarizes their main construction points and comparatively analyzes their exterior effects and economic benefits. The results show that the two types of revetment molding both display the molding effect well and share a mutually reinforcing relationship with the canal culture. Specifically，molding templates have a better appearance and higher cost per use. Nevertheless，it can be recycled and is thus more economical in the long term. In contrast，split blocks are more environmentally friendly and economical. The two new types of revetment molding both have broad promotion prospects in river regulation and human landscape design in cities along rivers.
