All the information about the Great Wall of Wan Li

The Great Wall is an ancient defense project with the longest construction time and the largest engineering quantity in China and even in the world. Since the 7th and 8th centuries BC, it has been built continuously for more than 2,000 years, which is distributed on the vast land in northern and central China, with a total length of more than 50,000 kilometers. It is called "more than 2,000 years up and down, and more than 100,000 miles in vertical and horizontal directions". Such a huge project is unique not only in China, but also in the world, so it was listed as one of the seven wonders of the Middle Ages with the Colosseum and the Leaning Tower of Pisa hundreds of years ago. More than 2,700 years ago, China had many waiting countries. In order to resist the attack of nomadic people in the north or neighboring enemy countries, Chu first began to build the Great Wall, and later Qi, Yan, Wei, Zhao, Qin and other countries also began to build their own Great Wall for the same purpose. ? Map of the Great Wall of the Warring States After Qin unified the six countries, Meng Tian, a famous soldier sent by Qin Shihuang, made a northern expedition to the Huns, connecting the Great Walls of various countries, and basically formed the present scale of the Great Wall. There is the Great Wall on the map of Qin Changcheng, most of which were built in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Great Wall starts from Jiayuguan in the west and ends at Shanhaiguan in the east, with a total length of 6,700 kilometers. It is called "Wan Li Great Wall", which is the origin of the name "Wan Li Great Wall". So what we see today is mainly the Ming Great Wall. ? Map of the Great Wall in Ming Dynasty The construction of the Great Wall lasted for more than 2000 years. According to historical records, from the establishment of "Fangcheng" by Chu State in the 7th century BC to the Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644), more than 20 vassal states and feudal dynasties built the Great Wall, of which the length of the Great Wall in Qin, Han and Ming Dynasties exceeded 5,000 kilometers. If you add up the Great Wall built in different eras, the total length is more than 50,000 kilometers. If we build a masonry earthwork wall with a thickness of 1 meter and a height of 5 meters for the Great Wall, this wall can circle the earth more than once. Since Yan began to build the Great Wall, it has a history of over 2000 years. What people see today is the Ming Great Wall, which starts from Jiayuguan in Gansu in the west and ends at Yalu River in the east. Badaling is the representative section and peak of the Great Wall, with an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level, and it is one of the tourist attractions. The average height of the Great Wall is 7.8 meters, and the width of the top is 7.8 meters. Five Kyle can ride together, and ten pillars can ride together. Visitors to China want to visit the Great Wall. The best place to visit the Great Wall is Badaling in the suburbs of Beijing. After leaving Beijing and heading northwest, the car will drive for about 1 hour and reach Badaling at an altitude of 1000 meters. Juyongguan of the Great Wall of Wan Li is the gateway to Badaling. The Great Wall of Wan Li was built in the 7th century BC. At that time, the northern governors of China were divided. In order to resist the invasion of neighboring vassals, they successively built sections of defensive walls in their respective territories. At the same time, the northern part of the three vassal States of Yan, Zhao and Qin is adjacent to the Xiongnu, a nomadic minority. In order to resist the harassment of Xiongnu slave owners, the three countries each built the Great Wall on their weak side. In the 3rd century BC, Qin Shihuang unified China and connected all parts of the Great Wall, which became the foundation of the Great Wall in Wan Li. Later, after successive generations of additions, it was built in the Ming Dynasty. It starts from Shanhaiguan in Bohai Bay in the east, passes through Hebei, Beijing, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia to Jiayuguan in Gansu, and stretches for more than 12000 miles, hence the name Wan Li Great Wall. It is really a great thing to build such a huge project when the ancient means of transportation are extremely backward. In particular, it is not an ordinary earth wall, but a neat stone and solid blue brick masonry. It has been calculated that if the bricks, stones and earthwork used in the Ming Great Wall are built into a wall with a thickness of 2 meters and a height of 4 meters, it can circle the earth. Needless to say, firing these bricks and stones is to transport them to the construction site through rugged mountain roads, which is already a very pet project. Therefore, visitors to the Great Wall are moved by the great spirit and perseverance of our ancestors. Gates, walls, towers and beacon towers The Great Wall consists of gates, walls, towers and beacon towers. Generally, passes are built in dangerous places, and Juyongguan is a prominent representative. The average height of the Great Wall near Juyongguan and Badaling is 7.8m, and the highest height is14m. The outer side of the city wall is generally built on a steep cliff, which increases the difficulty of siege. Not far from each other, there is an arch called "ticket gate". Soldiers guarding the city go up and down from here. The top of the city wall is 5.8 meters wide and can accommodate five horses. The city platform is a group of square buildings that rise from the top of the wall every 300 to 500 meters, and it is a patrol place. This beacon tower is dedicated to transmitting military information. It is stipulated that one cigarette and one cannon, that is to say, the enemy has about100; Put two smoke bombs and two cannons to attack about 500 people; More than 65,438+0,000 people fired smoke bombs three times and fired three shots ..... In this way, the court can know the enemy's situation thousands of miles away in a few hours. Juyongguan Great Wall is built in the middle of a valley15km long, with overlapping mountains on both sides, lush trees and splendid flowers. As early as 800 years ago in the Jin Dynasty, it was listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing, and it was called "Juyong Diecui". Juyongguan is the gateway for the north to enter Beijing, and it has the momentum of "one person defends it, and ten thousand people cannot force it". In the center of Juyongguan, there is still a beautifully carved white marble platform called Yuntai. In the Yuan Dynasty, three stone pagodas were built on this platform, which were destroyed in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. After the destruction of the three pagodas, a courtyard named "Tai 'an Temple" was built on this platform. This temple was destroyed by fire during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, leaving only this pedestal-Yuntai. In the ticket gate of Yuntai, there are four statues of heavenly kings carved on the stone wall, which are beautifully carved and vivid; There are also Buddhist scriptures carved in Sanskrit, Tibetan, Mongolian, Mongolian, Xixia and Chinese. One way to visit the Badaling Great Wall is to take the sightseeing bus from downtown, which is more expensive but more comfortable, and you can also visit the Ming Tombs. The road from Beijing to Badaling, after completion, is flat and wide. You can also go by train, and the bus will be distributed at 7: 40 in the morning, which takes more than 2 hours by car. Badaling ushered in the peak of tourists, with an average of more than 1 10,000 tourists every day.

Along the way, there are Shanhaiguan, Juyongguan, Niangziguan and other checkpoints. The Great Wall for short. Metaphor is the pillar of the country. Southern History, Volume 15, Tandaoji Biography: When Dao Ji saw the bumper harvest, he was full of anger. When Orr drank a glass angrily, he threw himself on the ground and said, This is the Great Wall of Wan Li! The 12th time of chenchen and Water Margin in Ming Dynasty: The swallowing of the Xuan was lost, which damaged the Great Wall of Wan Li and made the best of the domestic elite. What shall we do? It is also called the Great Wall. The Great Wall generally refers to the existing Ming Great Wall in China, starting from Hushan Great Wall on the Yalu River in the east and reaching Jiayuguan in the west, with a total length of 7.

More than 300 kilometers (it is also reported that 1990 the pedometer of a China man who walked the Great Wall showed 6.

600 Li, so it is called the Great Wall of Wan Li, and it is often called the Great Wall of China in the west. The Great Wall, with an average height of 6-7 meters and a width of 4-5 meters, is a huge military defense project built in ancient China. It is also one of the few giant buildings in the world bounded by the Great Wall [1][2]. The north of the Great Wall is often called the Great Wall (north, northwest) or Guanwai (northeast), and the south of the Great Wall is called Guannei. The Great Wall also holds several records of man-made buildings in the world, including its length, area and weight. The construction of the Great Wall in China began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with a history of more than 2,000 years, especially in the Qin, Han and Ming dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, the Great Wall was not built because the Turks in the north had been defeated and were no longer threatened. In the Song Dynasty, sixteen states fell, so it was meaningless to build the Great Wall. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were Mongols, who only built some passes to interrogate passers-by and trade routes. Similar to the Yuan Dynasty, the Great Wall was not built in the Qing Dynasty. Modern construction of the Great Wall is not only for the maintenance and protection of historical sites, but also for the development of tourism to a certain extent, but it has lost its military significance. In the thirty-third year of Ying Zheng, Qin Changcheng (2 14 BC), General Meng Tian sent by Qin Shihuang led 300,000 people to drive Xiongnu to the north, occupied Hetao and built the Great Wall. "Qin has become one with the whole world, enabling Meng Tian to March three hundred thousand troops from north to north. The Great Wall was built from Lintao to Liaodong, stretching all the way to Vandory, so it crossed the river and meandered north according to Yangshan Mountain. I have been away from home for more than ten years. " (Biography of Historical Records of Meng Tian) Qin Changcheng connected the Great Wall of Qin, Zhao and Yan in those days, stretching from Lintao to Wan Li to Liaodong, and was called the Great Wall of Wan Li from now on. Qin Changcheng can be roughly divided into the western section and the northern section. The western section starts from Min County, Gansu Province, along the Taohe River north to Lintao County, passes through Dingxi County to Guyuan County and Huanxian County in Ningxia, Jingbian, Hengshan, Yulin and Shenmu in Shaanxi Province, then turns north to Tuoketuonan in Inner Mongolia and reaches the south bank of the Yellow River. The northern section is the Great Wall north of the Yellow River, along the Yinshan Mountain and Langshan Mountain, east to the northern foot of Daqing Mountain, east to Jining and Xinghe in Inner Mongolia to Shangyi in Hebei, east to Zhangbei and Weichang in Hebei, east to Fushun and Benxi, and finally to the sea of Qingchuan River in North Korea. While building the Great Wall in the north, the Great Wall, as a "mutual defense" of the former vassal states, was demolished: "The emperor fought bravely, Germany combined with the princes, and the first day was peaceful." If the battlements are broken, we will definitely stop them from crossing the river and clear the obstacles. Qin Changcheng played an important role in resisting the harassment of Huns and ensuring the stability of production and life in the Central Plains. Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall with 300,000 people, which created a miracle in the history of human architecture. This heavy construction project also brought great pain to people at that time, and the story of Meng Jiangnv came from it. Now there are Qin Changcheng relics near Lintao, Yinshan and Daqingshan. The Great Wall of the Han Dynasty The Han Dynasty continued to build the Great Wall to resist the invasion of Xiongnu in the north. From Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty to Xuan Di, a Great Wall with a total length of nearly 10,000 kilometers was built, starting from Dawaner Shicheng in the west and reaching the north bank of Yalu River in the east. The Great Wall in Han Dynasty is the longest in history. Great Wall in Northern and Sui Dynasties The Great Wall was built and added in Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Northern Qi and Northern Zhou Dynasties. Among them, the construction scale was the largest in the Northern Qi Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, in order to guard against Turks, Ding Zhuang was recruited many times to build the Great Wall in winter. During the reign of Yang Di, laborers were recruited twice in the summer. At this time, the defense targets also include Tuyuhun in the northwest. On the basis of the Great Wall of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Great Wall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Great Wall from the east to the east of Yugu Valley is basically connected in a line. Great Wall in Jin Dynasty In order to defend Mongolia, the Jin Dynasty began to build the Great Wall. The Great Wall built by the Jin Dynasty was called Jinjie River or Phnom Penh Fort in history. Major projects of Ming Great Wall: Satellite photos of Ming Great Wall. Located in the north of Shanxi Province, China. Low-angle sunlight and Bo Xue highlight a section of the Great Wall, extending from the lower left corner of the image to the upper right corner with a black line. In the Ming Dynasty, from Hongwu to Wanli, after 20 large-scale constructions, a 6350-kilometer-long Great Wall was built, starting from Jiayuguan in Gansu in the west and ending at Hushan in Liaodong in the east. This is also most of the Great Wall that we see now. [Editor] The Great Wall inside and outside Shanxi and Hebei is located in the Great Wall outside Shanxi and Hebei, which basically coincides with the provincial boundary of Inner Mongolia and is the national boundary of northern Xinjiang in the Ming Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, in order to fight against the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Ming army attacked many times and built the Great Wall along the front line. Important sections of the city are covered with rammed earth and stones, and enemy platforms, fortresses and passes are all set up for garrison. At the same time, a long-term hereditary military service system will be established along the border, so that they can defend the border for generations. After the ancestors moved to Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, many Ming Di built the Great Wall in Shanxi and Hebei along Taihang Mountain as the second line of defense to protect their own security. The inner and outer sections of the Great Wall meet at Piantouguan (commonly known as Piantouguan, the headquarters of Shanxi Town in Ming Dynasty) in Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province. From west to east, the Great Wall starts from Laoniuwan, Pianguan County, Xinzhou City, along the border between Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, passes through Laoyingbao, Pianguan County, turns northeast to Pinglu District, Shuozhou City (the birthplace of Weichi Gong, the famous Tang Dynasty), and then passes through Shuocheng District of Shuozhou City, Qingshuihe County, Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia, Youyu County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province, Zuoyun County and Yanggao County (20 miles southeast is Deng Baishan, who was personally dispatched by Emperor Gaozu). It enters Hebei Province. Total length of the Inner Great Wall 1600 km. From west to east, it starts from Gejiaodun, Laoyingbao, Pianguan County, Xinzhou City, and passes through Pinglu District, Shenchi County, Shuocheng District, ningwu county (with Ning Wuguan), Yuanping County, Shanyin County, Xinzhou City, Daixian County (with Yanmenguan in the north), Yingxian County, Fan Shi and Datong City. Until Fuping County, Laiyuan County, Yixian County, Laishui County and Zhuolu County, Zhangjiakou City, Baoding City, Hebei Province, they entered Mentougou District of Beijing, returned to Huailai County of Zhangjiakou City, and then re-entered Badaling and southwest of Juyongguan in Yanqing County, Beijing, and the four seas met the Great Wall. The Inner Great Wall diverges southward at Niubangkou, Lingqiu County, Datong City, along the Hebei-Shanxi border, along Taihang Mountain, through Niangziguan and Guguan, and ends at Dongyang Pass, Licheng County, Changzhi City.
