What did the Qin Dynasty build the Great Wall for? Is the Great Wall of Qin, built during the Qin Dy

It's gone, it's just the ruins.

For example, the ruins of the Qin Great Wall in Guyang are relatively well preserved.

The site of the Qin Great Wall in Guyang is located on the upper edge of the northern slope of Serten Mountain in the central part of Guyang County, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with a total length of kilometers in Guyang County. This section of the Great Wall is mainly built of stone, which is one of the reasons why the Great Wall has been well preserved for more than 2,000 years. The Guyang Qin Great Wall winds along the mountain, like a giant dragon, and the momentum is magnificent.

It's still there. In addition to the Zhao Great Wall built by King Wuling of Zhao in the earlier period of Baotou, there is also a relatively complete section of the Great Wall of Qin. In 215 B.C., Qin Shi Huang sent the general Meng Tian to lead 300,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north, take Henan, in order to prevent the invasion of the northern nomads, built the Great Wall of 10,000 miles from Lintao (now Lintao, Gansu) to Liaodong County (now Liaoning Province) in the west, it extends from Ningxia to Inner Mongolia, from the Wolf Mountain to the east, through the Xidoupu, Yinhao, Damiao Township in the north of Guyang County, Baotou City, and enters Wuchuan County through the east of Daqingshan, extending to Hebei. The cumulative length of the Great Wall of Qin in Baotou City is about 120 kilometers, most of them are built on the north slope of the mountain, depending on the mountain to take the risk, because of the slope to take the potential, the valley pass and the Pingchuan area are mostly built with rammed earth, and the mountain is mostly built with stone or earth and stone, and the remains of the Great Wall are generally well preserved.

The existing ones are generally more than 4 meters high on the outer wall, 4 meters wide at the base, and about 2 meters wide at the top. Standing on a high place, you can still see the Great Wall up and down along the mountain, like a swimming dragon, every other section can still distinguish the remains of the ancient beacon fire and the barrier city, inside and outside the Qin Great Wall in Baotou, there are 8-9 ancient city ruins, among them, you can often find the pottery pieces from the Qin State to the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. The Great Wall of Qin not only has its own style in the construction method, but also has certain characteristics in the construction of defense facilities, the Great Wall of Qin is known for its stone construction, majestic and magnificent, and it is used in the Han Dynasty, it is the treasure of our Chinese nation, it is also a miracle in the history of world architecture, and it is a symbol of the glorious history and splendid culture of our Chinese nation.

The Great Wall of Qin Shi Huang is roughly as follows: starting from Min County in Gansu Province in the west, following the Tao River to the north to Lintao County, and from Lintao County to the northeast through the south of Dingxi County to Guyuan County in Ningxia. From Guyuan to the northeast through Huanxian in Gansu Province, Jingbian, Hengshan, Yulin and Shenmu in Shaanxi Province, and then turn north to Tuoketuo South in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and arrive at the south bank of the Yellow River.

The Great Wall north of the Yellow River runs from the Wolf Mountain in the western section of the Yinshan Mountains to the east to the northern foot of Daqing Mountain, and continues eastward through Jining and Xinghe in Inner Mongolia to Shangyi County, Hebei. From Shangyi to the northeast through Zhangbei and Weichang counties in Hebei Province, and then to the east through Fushun and Benxi to the southeast, and terminate at the mouth of the Cheongchon River in the northwest of Pyongyang, North Korea.

Some of them are still there. There are relics in northern Shaanxi, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia.

Like, there's the Great Wall of Qin, which actually connected the foundations of the Great Wall after the Qin unified the countries.

Long gone, only a few wreckage remained. Today's Great Wall is only intact in the Ming Dynasty.

An important purpose of the construction of the Great Wall was to resist the invasion of nomads and maintain the rule of the Qin Dynasty over the Central Plains. In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms and annihilated Zhuhou, establishing the first unified and centralized empire in Chinese history. In order to consolidate the territory and defend against the Xiongnu, a Great Wall of Qin with a total length of more than 5,000 kilometers was built from Liaodong in the east to Lintao in Gansu in the west.

China's first Great Wall stood in the north.

The construction of the Great Wall lasted for 2,000 years from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period BC to the end of the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century. From east to west, it crosses the mountains, crosses the mountains, crosses the grasslands, crosses the desert, and lies across the fingers of the land in northern China. As a military defense project, the Great Wall is not only rare in the history of China, but also in the history of the world.

Therefore, hundreds of years ago, it was listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, along with the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Cathedral of Sophia in Constantinople, etc.

After Qin victoriously defeated the invasion of the Xiongnu nobles, in order to consolidate the achievements made on the battlefield, the first emperor ordered Meng Tian to preside over the construction of the largest military defense project in the history of our country - the Great Wall.

The construction of the Great Wall began during the Warring States period. At that time, Wei, Zhao, Chu, Qi, Yan, Qin and other countries all built the Great Wall. Some of them are built in the interior, but mainly in the northern areas bordering some ethnic minorities.

For example, King Wuling of Zhao "broke the forest and Hu in the north, built the Great Wall, and went down the Yin Mountain from the generations, and the highest que was the stopper". In order to defend Donghu, Yan "also built the Great Wall and made Yang to Xiangping". As early as the seventh year of the reign of the Emperor of Jian (408 B.C.), Qin had "entrenched Luo", that is, built a city along the Luo River to prevent Wei.

In the first year of Queen Qin Huiwen (324 B.C.), she once "built a county fortress" to imperial Zhao. When Qin Zhaoxiang was king, he was still in Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun to "build the Great Wall to reject Hu". Based on the actual effectiveness of these Great Wall constructions, Qin Shi Huang felt that it was necessary to defend the Xiongnu nobles from moving south again and continue to build a larger Great Wall.

In today's terms, it is.

First: the needs of the state, the state needs to establish military defense institutions to defend against aggression (nomads) and maintain the stability of its own regime.

Second: national defense needs, the border line is elongated, easy to attack and difficult to defend. The construction of the Great Wall effectively exercised military control over the border.

Third, it is a political performance project, hoping to establish an effective long-term military offensive and defense to ensure its own political power"Passed down from generation to generation".

This must be self-deception, the Ming Dynasty's overhaul of the Great Wall has never been able to prevent the Qing Dynasty from entering the throne.

As the saying goes, "If you don't reach the Great Wall, you're not a hero." As the seventh wonder of the world, the Great Wall can be said to have a long history, we all know that after the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang used millions of laborers to build the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu, and later dynasties built the Great Wall on the basis of the Great Wall of Qin.

The Great Wall was ordered by Qin Shi Huang to defend against the invasion of ethnic minorities.

At that time, the Great Wall was built because the north rode horses and spoiled the fields in the south.

The main purpose of the construction of the Great Wall by any dynasty in Chinese history was to defend the horse-riding peoples of the north from moving south.

Stop the attack of the Xiongnu for military defense.

At the end of the Warring States period, an ancient ethnic group in the north, the Xiongnu, became strong, and often violated the border, in order to defend against foreign enemies Qin Zhao Yan built the Great Wall, after Qin Shi Huang unified China, connected the Great Wall of various countries!
