The Great Wall, the masterpiece of mankind! The soul of China!

The Great Wall, which soars over the lofty mountains and desert Gobi like a giant dragon, is composed of city gates, city walls, enemy platforms, beacon towers, etc., and is a military defense engineering system among various localities and ethnic ruling groups in ancient China. It has been built by the people of all nationalities many times over the past two or three thousand years, embodies the great strength and strong will of the Chinese nation, and has become a glorious treasure in China's ancient civilization.

As far back as the 11th century B.C., there was a record of "the city and the other side of the city" in the Western Zhou Dynasty of China. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period from the seventh to the third century B.C., the Great Wall was built successively for self-defense. At that time, the total length of the Great Wall was tens of thousands of miles, but it was scattered and independent.

In 221 B.C., after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he started from Tao River in the west and went east along the Yellow River, according to the direction of the original Qin, Zhao and Yan Great Wall to Liaodong, stretching for more than 10,000 miles, becoming the earliest Great Wall of China for 10,000 miles.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the restoration of the Yuan Dynasty and the harassment of the Dadan, Washuang, Jurchen, Tubo and other ethnic groups, the Great Wall was continuously built in the north, and in order to resist foreign invasion, some Great Walls were also sporadically built in the southeast coastal areas. The number of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty is the largest in all dynasties. The main Great Wall stretches from Jiulian City on the Yalu River to Jiayuguan in Gansu, with a total length of more than 15,000 miles.

Among them, the 12,700 miles of the main Great Wall from Shanhaiguan to Jiayuguan is relatively well preserved, especially the Great Wall from Shanhaiguan to Beijing, which has been rebuilt by Qi Jiguang, is the most spectacular.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the famous Shengjing side wall (wicker side) was built between Liaoning and Jilin, and the total length of the new and old side walls was more than 2,600 miles. The ancient Great Wall has also partially repaired the passes such as Shanhai, Juyong, Yanmen, Jiayu and some sections of the Great Wall. It has not been renovated since the middle period.

As a symbol of our great ancient Chinese civilization, the Great Wall is not only the pride of our nation, but also the yearning of people all over the world, and it will make a major contribution to enhancing the friendship of the peoples of all countries.

The Great Wall is a marvel of ancient architecture in the world. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Chu built a non-enclosed city wall hundreds of kilometers long, called Fangcheng. During the Warring States period, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Qin all built the Great Wall on the border.

After Qin Shi Huang unified the world, he connected the original northern Great Wall of Yan, Zhao and Qin, and built the Great Wall from Lintao in the west to Liaodong in the east, which is more than 10,000 miles long. In the north of Datong in Shanxi Province today, there are ruins of the Great Wall of Qin in the west of Minxian County in Gansu Province.
