Chang Cheng (Great Wall) |
The Badaling section of the Great Wall (Chang Cheng)
snaking along the mountains northwest of Beijing was
built at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty in the
14th century. Being 7.8 meters high and 5.8 meters
wide at the top on the average, it has battle forts
at important points, including the corners. |
|
An introduction Chang Cheng
(Great wall) |
Construction of the Great Wall which is said to be
visible from the moon, started in the 7th century
B.C. The vassal states under the Chou Dynasty in the
northern parts of the country each built their own
walls for defense purposes. After the state of Chin
unified China in 221 B.C., it joined the walls to
hold off the invaders from the Tsongnoo tribes in
the north and extended them to more than 10,000li or
5,000 kilometers. This is the origin of the name of
the 10,000-li Great Wall .
The Great Wall was renovated from time to time after
the Chin Dynasty. A major renovation started with
the founding of the Ming Dynasty in 1368, and took
200 years to complete. The wall we see today is
almost exactly the result of this effort. With a
total length of over 6,000 kilometers, it extends
to the Jiayu Pass in Gansu Province in the west
and to the mouth of the Yalu River in the east.
