Essay about Zhao Changcheng of Baotou

The Great Wall is a shining pearl in Chinese history and even in world history. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people, a symbol of Chinese civilization, and the pride of the Chinese nation. It reflects the great achievements of ancient my country's architectural technology.

The Great Wall is a miracle created by the working people of ancient my country. Since Qin Shihuang, building the Great Wall has always been a major project. According to records, Qin Shihuang used nearly one million people to build the Great Wall, accounting for about one-twentieth of the country's population at that time.

During the Warring States Period when wars were raging and wars were everywhere, the Qin, Yan, and Zhao kingdoms built the Great Wall in the north of the country to prevent the Xiongnu and Donghu from raiding the south, and maintained the rule of the country. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, The original Great Wall of Qin, Yan and Zhao was connected and repaired with the country's material and financial resources. During the Ming Dynasty, the Great Wall from the Yalu River to Jiayuguan was built to resist foreign enemies. It is approximately 12,700 miles long and is known as the "Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles".

The wind of history blows gently. Today, thousands of years later, in this peaceful era, the Great Wall has lost its original value. Does it really have no value?

No, absolutely not. The Great Wall is not only a tool used to resist foreign enemies in ancient times, but also an inseparable part of the Chinese nation today. Its ingenious design reflects the high wisdom of the ancient Chinese people. It is a witness to history.

The Great Wall is the product of the development of ethnic relations in ancient China. In the process of historical development, some of the ancient ethnic groups along the Great Wall disappeared, and some new ethnic groups merged and emerged. They are all distributed along the Great Wall today. The more than 20 ethnic groups in the region have close ties and have all made important contributions to the historical development of China.

Some people will say that the construction of the Great Wall was a waste of financial and material resources. It also broke up many people's families. Even if Meng Jiangnu didn't really cry down the Great Wall, wasn't she the representative of countless suffering people? Yes, building the Great Wall is indeed a time-consuming and costly project. However, if it were not for the efforts of those people and the construction of the Great Wall, then when the Huns' cavalry entered the Central Plains, could the people still live and work in peace and contentment? When our great motherland is invaded and occupied, will Chinese civilization still exist? Will there still be today's People's Republic of China? So the Great Wall is indispensable.

Today, looking at the Great Wall, I can’t help but marvel at its artistic architecture, and even more marvel at its strong perseverance in guarding the Chinese territory for thousands of years. The Great Wall, I believe it can not only stretch for thousands of miles on the land of China, but also stretch for thousands of miles on the long river of history, and it can also stretch for thousands of miles in the hearts of every Chinese people!

This article takes the "Great Wall" as the main description object. The description is vivid and lifelike, the scenery comes with emotions, the scenes blend, the language expression is also very flexible, and has strong appeal, such as "It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people, a symbol of Chinese civilization, and the pride of the Chinese nation."

Part 1: Essay on the Great Wall

The Great Wall

More than 2,000 years ago, Qin Shihuang unified China and connected the Great Walls of the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Yan. , built a Great Wall from Lintao in the west to Liaodong in the east to resist the invasion of the Huns.

Now, in front of me is a photo of the Badaling section of the Great Wall. Badaling of the Great Wall is surrounded by endless mountains, continuous and lush. The mountain peaks are as green as transparent crystal, and the entire land is like a vast and infinite carpet. Looking at the vast mountains, the Great Wall meanders on the ridges, like a giant dragon reaching into the sky, with no head in front and no tail behind. It seems to be alive and galloping, majestic and unrestrained, solemn and vigorous. Looking closely at this section of the Great Wall, it is composed of four parts: passes, towers, beacons, and walls. Pass, as the name suggests, is a pass built at an important transportation point. Heavy troops are often stationed for defense, which naturally makes it difficult for the enemy to break through. Beacons are used as military communication points. If the enemy was discovered, they would immediately light up the wolf dung. It is said that the smell was very unpleasant, but the billowing smoke was really a good way to communicate at the time.

The walls of the Great Wall are filled with stones and soil, and the top of the wall is paved with square bricks. They are arranged very neatly and are of course very strong. Otherwise, how could the Great Wall still stand majestically in the east of the world? There are teeth more than two meters high on the outside of the wall. The shaped wall is called a crenel. There is a hope opening above the crenel and a shooting opening below, which are used for squinting and shooting respectively. There is a square platform every 300 meters on the top of the city wall. During war, the platforms can echo each other. It can be seen that the designers of the Great Wall thought very carefully and thoughtfully.

Every handful of soil and every brick and stone of the Great Wall is permeated with the blood, sweat and wisdom of the ancient working people. According to records, the construction of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty took nearly 200 years. Someone once calculated that if the masonry and earthwork of the existing Great Wall were used to build a large wall 1 meter thick and 5 meters high, then it could circle the earth more than once. You can imagine the vastness of the project. Such a large project was completed by relying on countless arms and hands to carry boulders weighing several thousand kilograms up this steep mountain. Immediately before my eyes came the appalling scene of the suffering people struggling to build amid the sounds of whips and eating and drinking.

“If you don’t visit the Great Wall, you are not a true man.” International friends of different skin colors must climb the Great Wall when they arrive in China. These tourists seem to be going to the market, forming a huge flow of people, surging and galloping, constantly creating "human waves". Listen, "Kaka, Kaka", a symphony composed of the sound of cameras taking pictures came from the distance. It is the most beautiful music without modification.

This photo is indeed interesting and thought-provoking. At this time, I seemed to be walking on the winding Great Wall, stroking the Great Wall built with blood and tears.

The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, and the inside and outside of the Great Wall are hometowns. The Great Wall, the backbone of the Chinese nation. A soaring giant dragon is galloping up and down across thousands of miles of mountains and thousands of miles of cold desert, under the bright blue sky, and on the majestic earth.

The loud sounds of war and the lingering sounds of drums and horns are gone. After the sounds of resistance and killing condensed by blood and tears, the lonely smoke of the desert and the vast yellow sand , the Great Wall looks so desolate and lonely

The almost sacred city wall, the Great Wall, is worshiped by people all over the world. The flags are flying, and the Great Wall needs to continue to write a glorious glory. Standing in the Central Plains, looking at the world, with high spirits, it has become the most splendid chapter in the world's architectural forest.

Thousands of years of wind and frost have deposited the saturated salt of history, and hundreds of years of operation have given off a dazzling appearance. In 1999, the Great Wall slowly emerged from hundreds of classical buildings with heavy steps, leading the immortal light of Chinese civilization to the top of the world.

However, history always has ups and downs in the most peaceful eras, and the Great Wall has been bumpy in its journey to become the world's proudest building. The Great Wall's vote numbers remain volatile and precarious. Domestic publicity is not enough, and foreign voting is a drop in the bucket. China’s internal conservatism and humility make it difficult and long for the Great Wall to enter the Seven Wonders of the World. When will the sun be visible? When fire and water are at stake, who can turn the tide?

There is no doubt that the Great Wall’s rich history and the relics of the years are its most essential pride. We have melted it into a national spirit and a lofty belief, thinking that without any need to show off, the responders will gather in great numbers. The Great Wall is always patient and waiting in the baptism of wind and rain and the baptism of war, but it has forgotten how to enjoy the joy and fruits after the disaster. Just like the hard-working and simple Chinese people, they view everything with detachment, and there is no arrogance or pride in peace. When the horn of the Great Wall blows, the carnage fills the air and gallops in all directions; when the horn passes, it is the setting sun and horses are riding on the green grass. This is the greatness of the Chinese nation, but also the weakness of this nation. Just like this selection, the Chinese people don't know how to exaggerate and publicize it, making the Great Wall groan and mourn, losing the excitement of the past!

Who can change the mystery of July 7th? This dark sky is waiting for us to clear the clouds and reveal the dawn. When the horn of the Great Wall blows again in the new century, it is not for fighting, not for warning, but for showing the courage of our nation - that iron-clad backbone - the time has come. We have lost patience in our humble retreat, and we need to create a glorious present ourselves.

Let go of the shackles of historical and traditional thoughts and let the Great Wall, this giant dragon of the East, soar into the clouds and mist, with its scales and claws flying. Let the horn of the Great Wall sound in all directions again and reverberate throughout the world!

Only by relying on oneself, with respect for the Great Wall, boldly and firmly recognizing its glory, and bravely and persistently creating new splendor, can the Great Wall, China's historical symbol, have a long history. Let the world re-examine China and its reputation will last forever!
