Information on the great wall

China's Great Wall is the greatest architectural project in the history of human civilization. It was built more than 2, years ago during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was joined by the Great Wall of Wan Li after the Qin Dynasty unified China. It was built on a large scale in Han and Ming dynasties. The vastness of its projects and the grandeur of its momentum can be called a miracle of the world. As time goes by, things have changed. Now, when you climb the ruins of the former Great Wall, you can not only witness the majestic posture of the Great Wall among the mountains, but also appreciate the great wisdom and courage of the Chinese nation in creating history.

The Great Wall is located in the north of China, starting from Shanhaiguan in the east and Jiayuguan in the west, with a total length of about 6,7 kilometers, and is commonly known as the Great Wall of Wan Li.

the construction of the great wall lasted more than 2, years. according to historical records, from the seventh century BC, when Chu built a "square city", to the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), more than 2 vassal States and feudal dynasties built the great wall, among which the length of the great wall in the Qin, Han and Ming dynasties exceeded 5, kilometers. If you add up the Great Wall built in various eras, the total length will exceed 5, kilometers. If we build a 1-meter-thick and 5-meter-high wall from the masonry earthwork used to build the Great Wall, this wall can surround the earth for more than one week.

The main project of the Great Wall is a tall wall stretching over Wan Li, which is mostly built at the highest point of the mountains. The endless winding mountains are outlined clearly along the ridges, creating a galloping and magnificent dragon, thus becoming a symbol of the Chinese nation. On the wall of Wan Licheng, there are hundreds of Xiongguan and Pass, thousands of enemy towers and beacon towers, which breaks the monotony of the city wall and makes the undulating terrain more magnificent and steep, full of great artistic charm.

among the great wall landscapes in various places, the Badaling great wall in Beijing is particularly strong and well preserved, and it is the best place to see the great wall. In addition, there are Jinshanling Great Wall, Mutianyu Great Wall, Simatai Great Wall and Gubeikou Great Wall. Tianjin Huangyaguan Great Wall, Hebei Shanhaiguan and Gansu Jiayuguan are also famous Great Wall tourist attractions.

The Great Wall in Wan Li, China is a national military defense project with the longest construction time and the largest amount of work in the cold war era in the world. It embodies the sweat and wisdom of our ancestors and is the symbol and pride of the Chinese nation.

according to historical records, since the warring States period, more than 2 vassal States and feudal dynasties have built the great wall. The first was Chu, which began to build the Great Wall to defend the northern nomads or enemy countries. Later, Qi, Yan, Wei, Zhao, Qin and other countries began to build their own Great Wall for the same purpose. After Qin unified the six countries, Qin Shihuang sent a famous general, Meng Tian, to explore the Xiongnu in the north, connecting the Great Walls of various countries, stretching for more than 1, miles from Yao in the west to Liaodong in the east, hence the name "Great Wall of Wan Li". But what we see today is mainly the Ming Great Wall.

Only relics remain in Qin Changcheng. Qin Shihuang used 3, people to build the Great Wall, creating a miracle in the history of human architecture. The construction of the Great Wall objectively played a positive role in preventing the Huns from invading the south and protecting the economic and cultural development of the Central Plains. Dr. Sun Yat-sen once commented: "Although the first emperor had no way, the Great Wall made great contributions to later generations, in fact, Dayu managed water, etc."

the construction of the great wall continued in the Han dynasty. From Wendi to Xuan Di, a 1,-kilometer-long Great Wall was built from Dawaner Shicheng in the west to the north bank of Heilongjiang in the east. Half of the ancient Silk Road was along this Great Wall, which is the longest in history. In the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the invasion of Tatars and Waci people, the construction of the Great Wall never stopped. From Hongwu to Wanli, after 2 large-scale constructions, a 635-kilometer-long side wall was built from Jiayuguan in Gansu in the west to Hushan in Liaodong in the east. (But it is reported that in 199, the pedometer of a China man who walked the whole length of the Great Wall showed 67 kilometers. )

The Great Wall has great tourism value and historical and cultural significance. Now, after careful development and restoration, Shanhaiguan, Juyongguan Badaling, Simatai, Mutianyu and Jiayuguan have become famous tourist attractions at home and abroad. Looking at the distance, with the ancient bosom, the ancient battlefield seems to be just around the corner. Today, the Great Wall, together with the pyramids in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, is regarded as the seven wonders of the world, a monument of the ancient Chinese culture and a crystallization of wisdom, symbolizing the Chinese nation's bloodline and national spirit.
