Why is the Great Wall known as a miracle on earth?

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is one of the world's longest, largest and oldest canals. From Beijing (Zhuo County) in the north, to Hangzhou (Yuhang) in the south, through Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang four provinces, through the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River, the Qiantang River five major water systems, the total length of about 1794 kilometers, excavation has been more than 2500 years of history.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is a great project created by the ancient Chinese working people, a precious material and spiritual wealth left to us by our ancestors, and an important human heritage that is alive and mobile. The Grand Canal began in the Spring and Autumn Period, formed in the Sui Dynasty, developed in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was built in the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,000 years ago, and has a history of 2,500 years, and Qin Shi Huang (Ying Zheng) dug an important river in Jiaxing, which also laid the direction of the Jiangnan Canal in the future. According to the record of the "Book of Yuejue", Qin Shi Huang "governed the waterway of the tomb from Jiaxing, went to Qiantang and crossed the land, and passed through Zhejiang".

About 2,500 years ago, Wu Wangfu dug a ditch, opened a canal connecting the Yangtze River and the Huai River, and built Hancheng, from which the canal and canal culture were derived. The Grand Canal we call today was excavated in the Spring and Autumn Period, completed in the Sui Dynasty, prospered in the Tang and Song dynasties, took the Yuan Dynasty, and dredged in the Ming and Qing dynasties (from 486 BC to 1293 AD when the whole line was opened), and lasted for a total of 1779 years. In the long years, it mainly underwent three major construction processes.

In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty mobilized more than 2 million people to dig through the Grand Canal, which made a great contribution to the unprecedented economic and cultural prosperity of the country in the future, the Sui Dynasty began to run through the whole line, through the development of the Tang and Song dynasties, and finally became the communication of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River, the Qiantang River in the Yuan Dynasty, the five major water systems, through the north and the south. Artificial Tianhe. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is China's second "best waterway" after the Yangtze River.

The value of the Great Wall is comparable to that of the earliest and longest man-made river in the world, 16 times that of the Suez Canal and 33 times that of the Panama Canal.

So old, so long, so tall, so big.

The Great Wall is one of the Seven Wonders of the World because:

A long history. The construction of the Great Wall began in the 7th century BC and has a history of more than 2,500 years, making it one of the outstanding representatives of ancient Chinese civilization and engineering technology.

Huge scale. With a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers, the Great Wall spans the mountains, rivers, grasslands and other terrain of northern China, and has played an important role in holding the frontier and preventing invasion.

The engineering is spectacular. The Great Wall not only consumed a lot of manpower and material resources in the construction process, but also used a variety of complex fortifications in the design and construction, such as city walls, beacon towers, fortresses, etc., showing outstanding achievements in ancient Chinese engineering.

Cultural values. The Great Wall is known as the symbol and cultural heritage of the Chinese people, and has important historical, cultural and artistic values, which have profoundly influenced the culture and art of China and the rest of the world.

Natural beauty. The area where the Great Wall is located has beautiful natural scenery, such as the Qinling Mountains, Yungang Grottoes, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, etc., and has also become a tourist attraction, attracting many domestic and foreign tourists to come for sightseeing.

Human intelligence. The construction of the Great Wall is one of the outstanding representatives of ancient Chinese agricultural civilization, and Kipi also reflects the wisdom and courage of the ancient Chinese people in defensive wars, which is of great significance to the study of world culture and history.

World visibility. As a landmark building in China and an internationally renowned scenic spot, the Great Wall enjoys a wide reputation and popularity around the world, and is a globally recognized cultural heritage and natural heritage of humanity.

The Great Wall was first built in the Spring and Autumn period to defend against the invasion of ethnic minorities. In the Spring and Autumn period, all countries built their own Great Wall, but the distance was very short. When Qin Shi Huang unified China, he mobilized millions of people to build the Great Wall of China's history.

In total, the Great Wall spanned 15 provinces and consisted of defensive measures such as walls and beacon towers. The Great Wall is the crystallization of the labor and wisdom of the ancient Chinese people, and contains the sweat of countless Chinese people.

Among the Great Wall I've visited, I think the most magnificent is Jiayuguan. It is known as the first Xiongguan in the world, and it is an important part of the Great Wall - Guancheng. In the event of an enemy invasion, the soldiers could hide behind the walls and shoot at the enemy, both to protect themselves and to deliver a powerful blow to the enemy.

There is also a moat outside the city to protect the safety inside the city, and even if the enemy army invades the city, there are many traps in the city that will catch the enemy by surprise. The most famous trap is a false castle surrounded by four gates. First, the enemy army was deliberately allowed to break through one of the doors, and the soldiers outside quickly closed the door, trapping the enemy in this square fake city.

The soldiers fired at the enemy soldiers on the city walls, leaving no pieces of armor left behind. Visiting this place made me feel impressed by the brilliant and brilliant state of the working people of China. Such a magnificent project was a miracle in the world at that time.

The source of the wisdom chain of the ancient working people of Puntan, China, is infinite, and this stems from their perseverance and refusal to give up. We need to learn from their spirit. Perseverance does not give up, and any problem can be easily solved, so that we are not stumped by any difficulties.

The Great Wall is the pride and symbol of the Chinese nation and one of the world's great ancient architectural wonders.

The majestic Great Wall is a rare ancient military defense project in the history of human architecture, and is the pride and symbol of the Chinese nation, which embodies the blood, sweat and wisdom of our ancestors. It is famous for its long history, vast engineering and majestic spirit. It has long been hailed as a wonder of the world along with the pyramids of Egypt, the Taj Mahal in India, and the church of St. Sophia in Istanbul.

The Great Wall was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which lasted for more than 2,000 years and has a total length of more than 50 million meters. The Great Wall that we are referring to today and Pitian refers to is mostly the Great Wall built in the same dynasty, which stretches from Jiayuguan in Gansu Province in western China in the west to the Yalu River in Liaoning Province in northeastern China in the east, with a length of 6.35 million meters. It is like a vigorous dragon, crossing mountains, passing through cliffs, passing through grasslands, crossing deserts, undulating on the top of lofty mountains, on the other side of the Yellow River and on the shore of the Bohai Sea.

In ancient and modern times, everyone who has been to the Great Wall is amazed by its majestic momentum, magnificent scale and arduous project. The Great Wall is a rare treasure, but also an extraordinary cultural relics and monuments, it symbolizes the indestructible will and strength of the Chinese nation, is the pride of the Chinese nation, but also the pride of the whole mankind.

The Great Wall (English name: The Greatest Wall) was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1987 under the Cultural Heritage Selection Criteria c(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(vi).

The World Heritage Committee commented that around 220 B.C., Qin Shi Huang, who ruled the world, connected some of the earlier intermittent fortifications into a complete defense system to resist invasion from the north. During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD), it continued to be built, making the Great Wall the longest military facility in the world.

Its cultural and artistic value rivals its historical and strategic importance.

The history of the construction of the Great Wall can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty in the 9th century BC. At that time, King Xuan of Zhou built Leh and beacon towers in order to defend against the invasion of the northern peoples. In the 7th century BC, many vassal states, such as Qi, Wei, Zhao, Yan, Qin, etc., built their own Great Walls to protect them from invasion by neighboring countries.

In 22l BC, Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the whole country. Soon, he ordered the construction of the Great Wall to begin, connecting the Great Wall in the north of Qin, Yan, Zhao and other countries, and adding and expanding it to build the Great Wall of Qin from the west to the east to Liaodong. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Great Wall was also built several times to protect the Hetao, Longxi and other places, as well as the traffic between the east and the west.

The reason why the Great Wall is listed as a World Cultural Heritage is because it has extremely high cultural heritage value.

The Great Wall began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and accompanied China's feudal society for more than 2,000 years. As we all know, in the long history of ancient Chinese civilization, feudal society is the richest and most brilliant chapter, and all the major political, economic and cultural historical events of feudal society have left a mark on the Great Wall. The Jin Ge Iron Horse, the competition for the strong field, the change of dynasty, and the national struggle for peace are all reflected in the Great Wall.

As a physical monument of history, the Great Wall will be hydrological in the land of China. In addition to the architectural layout, modeling, carving, painting and other architectural arts of the city wall, the gate, the town city, the beacon tower, etc., there are also poems and songs, folk literature, opera and rap. Gu Youfan has left an immortal chapter for the Great Wall.

Biansai poetry has become an important genre in classical literature. For example, Li Bai's "The long wind is tens of thousands of miles, blowing the Yumen Pass", Wang Changling's "Qin Shimingyue Han Shiguan, the Long March has not yet returned", Wang Wei's "persuade the gentleman to enter a glass of wine, and there is no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west", Cen Shen's "Suddenly like a night of spring breeze, the dry tree is clear and the pear blossoms of ten thousand trees bloom" and other famous sentences, which have been recited endlessly for thousands of years. The lyrics of Meng Jiangnu's winter clothes are still widely sung today.

The ancient Saixiong Pass preserves the old ruins, the shape of Kyushu is better than the magnificent mountains and rivers, and the majestic Great Wall will coexist with the land of China forever, and will always exist with the world civilization.
