What the Great Wall looks like, let s introduce it

In the long years of Chinese history, many feudal dynasties have built it many times in order to consolidate their rule, and thousands of working people in ancient China have contributed much wisdom to it, and how much blood and sweat have been shed to make it a great wonder of the world. Whether it is a dragon-like city wall, or a production process and a more scientific firing brick and tile workshop. Therefore, the output of brick products has increased greatly, and bricks and tiles are no longer precious building materials, so the inner and outer eaves of the city wall in many places of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty are built with huge bricks.

At that time, it was all manual construction and manual handling of building materials, and the city wall was built with bricks of small weight and the same size, which was not only convenient for construction, but also improved the construction rate and improved the construction level. Secondly, many of the gates of the pass are mostly made of blue bricks to build long-span arches, although some of these green bricks have been severely weathered, but the entire city gate is still majestic, showing the superb skill of masonry arches at that time. Judging from the architectural decoration on the castle tower of the pass, the production techniques of many stone carvings and bricks are extremely complex and fine, reflecting the ingenuity of the craftsmen at that time.

The Great Wall (greatest wall), also known as the Great Wall, is a military project in ancient China. The Great Wall was built in the Zhou Dynasty. The princes of the Beacon Fire Opera of the King of Zhou You are the earliest allusions to the Great Wall.

In 2012, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage announced that the total length of the Great Wall of China was 1,000 kilometers, distributed in 15 provinces and autonomous regions, including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Qinghai, including 43,721 Great Wall heritage sites, including the Great Wall wall, moats, single buildings, Guanbao and related facilities. Previously, in 2009, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage released the survey data of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty for the first time, and the total length of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty in China was kilometers.

From a distance, it looks long. Look high up close.

It's very long, and you can search for pictures or information for details.

1. The Great Wall is not just a single city wall, but a complete defense engineering system composed of various fortifications such as city walls, enemy towers, gates, forts, camps, guards, and beacon towers in the town city. This defense engineering system is commanded and controlled by military command systems at all levels.

2. When building the Great Wall, the important experience of "using danger to control the blockage due to the terrain" was summed up, and the construction of the Great Wall in every subsequent dynasty was carried out in accordance with this principle, which became an important basis for military deployment. All the construction of the pass is to choose between the two mountains and valleys, or the turning point of the river, or the place where the Pingchuan must pass through, so that it can not only control the danger, but also save manpower and materials, so as to achieve the effect of "one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open".

3. In terms of building materials and building structures, we have created many structural methods based on the principle of "local materials and application". There are rammed earth, stone flakes, masonry mixed and other structures; In the desert, the structure of red willow branches, reeds and sand grains is also used, and the remains of the Great Wall of the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago are preserved in the territory of Yumen Pass, Yangguan and Xinjiang in present-day Gansu Province.

The Great Wall is a military defense project in ancient China, a tall, strong and continuous wall to limit the movement of enemy cavalry. The Great Wall is not a simple isolated city wall, but a defense system with the city wall as the main body and a large number of cities, barriers, pavilions and beacons.

The Great Wall is one of the longest and largest ancient defense projects in China and the world, which has been continuously built for more than 2,000 years since the Western Zhou Dynasty, and is distributed over the vast land of northern and central China, with a total length of more than 50,000 kilometers.

History. From the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, many passes along the Great Wall became places or centers for ethnic trading in the two major economic and cultural systems of agriculture and animal husbandry, and some gradually developed and disrupted to become important towns along the Great Wall.

The Great Wall not only ensures the normal development of agricultural economy, culture and animal husbandry economy and culture, but also provides a place and convenience for the exchange and complementarity between the two. It also plays an important role in mediating the two kinds of economy and making the agricultural and animal husbandry economy develop in the direction of mutual cooperation between the main and auxiliary industries, and the Great Wall has not only played the role of separating the two economies and cultures, but also shouldered the important task of closely tying the two economies and cultures together.

The Great Wall is the greatest military defense project in the ancient history of the world, it is not a simple isolated first-line city wall, but from point to line, from line to surface, the passes, military forts, customs and military towns along the Great Wall are connected into a tight network to form a complete defense system.

The system of military forts, gates, and military towns has a variety of functions such as combat, command, observation, communication, and concealment, and is equipped with a point-line defense project of a long-term garrison.
