The Great Wall, also known as the Great Wall, was an ancient military fortress in China. This is a tall, solid and continuous wall, which is used to limit the enemy's actions.
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, fortifications, pavilions and targets.
The history of building the Great Wall can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the famous allusion "Huo Feng plays princes" took place in Haojiang (now Xi 'an, Shaanxi), the capital city at that time.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, countries competed for hegemony and defended each other. The Great Wall construction entered the first climax, but at this time the construction length was relatively short.
After Qin destroyed the six countries and unified the world, Qin Shihuang connected and repaired the Great Wall of the Warring States and began to be called the Great Wall. The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty to overhaul the Great Wall. Most of the Great Wall seen today was built at this time.
According to the results of the national Great Wall resources survey by the cultural relics surveying and mapping department, the Ming Great Wall is 885 1.8 km long, the Qin, Han and early Great Walls are more than 10000 km long, and the total length is more than 2 1000 km.
