China Great Wall

Great Wall 

   Ancient China Great Wall is a miracle created by the working people. Since the beginning of theQin Dynasty, built the Great Wall has been a major project. According to records, the emperor used to build the Great Wall nearly a million workers, representing the country's population of 1 / 20! At that time, there is no machinery, all have to rely on human labor, and the working environment is high mountains,  Can imagine, not a lot of people hard labor, is unable to complete this enormous project.
"Because of the topography, with the risk system forced" to build the Great Wall is an important experience, when the emperor is no doubt that it has been down, Sima Qian writes it "Historical Records" of. 

 Every subsequent dynasty built the Great Wall are carried out in accordance with this principle. 

 Those who pass both the construction of customs rights and wrongs of the city to choose between two mountain gorges, or turning point of the river, or Pingchuan contacts must pass through, so both strategically located and difficult to control, but also to save human and material, to achieve "Yi Ren Dang Guan Wan Fu Mo Kai"effect. Or construction of the castle is also the choice of beacon towers in the "place to look around." 

 As for building a wall, but also full use of terrain, such as such as Pass, Badaling Great Wall is built along the mountain's back, and some sections from the lateral walls looked very precarious, and have great the inside is flat, to close " easily defensible "effect. 

 In Liaoning, the territory of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall liaotungensis town there is a hill called dangerous walls, blast cliff wall, is to take advantage of steep cliff, the precipice little about the Great Wall has become. 

 There are some places take full advantage of Cliffs cliffs, rivers and lakes as a natural barrier, it can be said to be representing. Great Wall, as a great project and become a valuable heritage of the Chinese nation.
A miracle in human history 

   Construction of the Great Wall for duration, amount of works, construction of the arduous, rich historical and cultural connotations, there is the world's other ancient works can hardly be compared to it. China's modern democratic revolution, the great pioneer Sun Yat-sen's Comments Great Wall said: "China's most famous works, the Great Wall also. ... ... Works great, ancient without their horses for one of the wonders of the world alone." 

 Former U.S. President Richard Nixon during a visit to the Great Wall Ding said: "Only a great nation, can come to such a great building the Great Wall." Therefore, the Great Wall as a miracle in human history, in 1987 the "World Heritage", well-deserved.
