According to historical records, more than 20 states and feudal dynasty built the Great Wall, if constructs each time the Great Wall together, about 100000 miles above. The length of the Great Wall that was built by The Qin, Han, and Ming 3 Dynasty was more than 10 kilo miles. Now our country Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Henan, Shandong, Hubei, Hunan and other province, city, autonomous regions have the ancient the Great Wall, peak fire platform remains. Of which only the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region the Great Wall amounted to more than 3.

The Ming Dynasty in the" outside" beyond the Great Wall, also built" inside" and" three" the Great Wall the Great Wall. " Neiguan" the Great Wall in the Northern Qi Dynasty had built for the foundation, from Inner Mongolia and Shanxi at the junction of west east “Pianguan”, the Yanmenguan, flat various pass into Hebei, and then turned to the northeast, Fangshan, Changping, the source

According to the record, QinShihuang used the million of labors to build the Great Wall, occupy countrywide population 1 / 20! There were no machinery, in addition to earth, carrying bricks can use donkeys, goats can climb the cattle, all labor and all must rely on manpower, work environment and high mountains and lofty hills, cliff. Can imagine, no large crowds on hard work, is unable to complete the great project.

The great wall of the engineering quantity, according to rough estimates, only constructs take the Ming Dynasty as an example, if its masoy, earth is used to build a thickness of 1 meter, 5 meters high walls, circled the earth for over a week. If used for paving a 5 meters wide, 35 cm thick road, it could circle the earth three or four

weeks. If all dynasties built a total of 50 thousand kilometers calculation, then this wall can rotate around the earth several weeks, this road, around the earth in thirty or forty weeks.

Some places

completely using the cliffs, rivers and lakes as a natural barrier, it can be called art beats nature. The

Great Wall, as a great project, become the Chinese nation is a valuable heritage.

长城修筑的历史悠久，工程雄伟浩大，是世界少有的奇迹。长城东西南北交错，绵延伏于我们伟大祖国辽阔的土地上。它好像一条巨龙，翻越巍巍群山，穿过茫茫草原，跨过浩瀚的沙漠，奔向苍茫的大海。根据历史文献记载，有20多个诸侯国家和封建王朝修筑过长城，若把各个时代修筑的长城加起来，大约有10万里以上。其中秦、汉、明3个朝代所修长城的长度都超过了1万里。现在我国新疆、 甘肃、 宁夏、 陕西、 内蒙古、 山西、河北、北京、 天津、 辽宁、 吉林、 黑龙江、 河南、山东、湖北、湖南等省、市、自治区都有古长城、峰火台的遗迹。其中仅内蒙古自治区的长城就达3万多里。

明朝在“外边”长城之外，还修筑了“内边”长城和“内三关”长城。“内关”长城以北齐所筑为基础，起自内蒙古与山西交界处的偏关以西，东行经雁门关、平型诸关入河北，然后折向东北，经来源、房山、昌平诸县，直达居庸关，然后又由北而东，至怀柔的四海关、与“外边”长城相接，以紫荆关为中心，大致成南北走向。“内三关”长城在很多地方和“内边”长城并行，有些地方两城相隔仅数十里。除此以外，还修筑了大量的“重城”。雁门关一带的“重城”就有24道之多！

长城是我国古代劳动人民创造的奇迹。自秦始皇开始，修筑长城一直是一项大工程。据记载，秦始皇使用了近百万劳动力修筑长城，占全国人口的1/20！当时没有任何机械，除运土、运砖可以用毛驴、山羊能爬山的牲畜外，全部劳动都得靠人力，而工作环境又是崇山峻岭、峭壁深壑。可以想见，没有大量的人群进行艰苦的劳动，是无法完成这项巨大工程的。

万里长城的工程量，据粗略估计，仅以明朝修筑为例，若将其砖石、土方用修筑一道厚1米、高5米的大墙，可环绕地球一周有余。如果用来铺筑一条宽5米、厚35厘米的马路，那就能绕地球三四周了。如果把所有朝代所修的总计10万里来计算，则这道长墙可绕地球十几周，这条马路，可绕地球三四十周。

“因地地形，用险制塞”是修筑长城的一条重要经验，在秦始皇的时候已经把它肯定下来，司马迁把它写入《史记》之中。以后每一个朝代修筑长城都是按照这一原则进行的。凡是修筑关城隘口都是非曲直选择在两山峡谷之间，或是河流转折之处。或是平川往来必经之地，这样既能控制险要，又可节约人力和材料，以达“一夫当关，万夫莫开”的效果。修筑城堡或烽火台也是选择在“四顾要之处”至于修筑城墙，更是充分地利用地地形，如像居庸关、八达岭的长城都有是沿着山岭的脊背修筑，有的地段从城墙外侧看去非常险峻，内侧则甚是平缓，收“易守难攻”之效。在辽宁境内，明代辽东镇的长城有一种

叫山险墙、劈山墙的，就是利用悬崖陡壁，稍微把崖壁劈削一下就成为长城 了。还有一些地方完全利用危崖绝壁、江河湖泊作为天然屏障，真可以说是巧夺天工了.长城，作为一顶伟大的工程，成为中华民族的一份宝贵遗产。

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in Chinese. In fact, it s more than 6 000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.

中国的长城被称为“一万号长城”在中国。事实上，这是超过6的000公里长的。它自西向东蜿蜒，穿过沙漠，越过高山，穿过峡谷，最后到达海洋。它是世界上的奇迹之一。

The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the dif ferent parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. Thus, the Great Wall came into being.

长城已有二十多年的历史。它的第一部分是建立在春秋时期。战国时期，提出保卫不同王国的边界被更多的墙。这是秦王朝的秦统一为一个帝国的不同部分中的王国。为了不让敌人进入自己的帝国，秦始皇把所有的城墙连接起来。因此，长城就形成了。

The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.

长城是足够宽，顶部五匹马或十个人并排而行。沿城墙有了望塔，过去常有士兵驻守。大火照亮在塔上作为一个警告当敌人来了。

It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

它是建立在这样一个壁无任何现代机器很难。所有工作都是用手完成。成千上万的人死了，被埋在自己修建的城墙下面。长城不仅是用石头和土，但对几百万人的血和肉。

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

今天，长城已成为地方利益不仅对中国而且对来自全世界各地的人。许多人都已知道这句中国名言：“不到长城非好汉。”

Far see the Great Wall, want to a long, winding between mountains. From shanhaiguan east to west of jiayuguan, has more than thirteen thousand.

Starting from Beijing, but it came to the Great Wall at the foot of a few tens of kilometers. This section of the Great Wall built in badaling, tall, strong, is built against the huge stone and ChengZhuan. With square brick on the top of the wall, very smooth, like a wide road, WuLiuPi mark in parallel. Outside walls along the rows of buttress has two meters high, there are square on buttress scanned and shot mouth, mouth for scanned and shooting. The wall on the top of every three hundred meters there is a square ChengTai, is the bulwark of station troops. Battle, echo each other between into Taiwan.

Standing on the Great Wall, step on the foot square brick, holding the stone on the wall, naturally think of the ancient working people to build the Great Wall. Look at the countless stone, there have a two or three one thousand catties. Then there is no train, automobile, crane, rely on countless countless hands, shoulders, step by step to carry on the steep mountains. How many working people sweat and wisdom, to condense into the former see head, after the end of the Great Wall.

Verve as grand project, is a great miracle in the history of the world.

远看长城，想一条长龙，在崇山峻岭之间蜿蜒盘旋。从东头的山海关到西头的嘉峪关，有一万三千多里。

从北京出发，不过几十公里就来到长城脚下。这一段长城修筑在八达岭上，高大坚固，是用巨大的条石和城砖筑成的。城墙顶上铺着方砖，十分平整，像很宽的马路，五六匹马可以并行。城墙外沿有两米多高的成排的垛子，垛子上有方形的嘹望口和射击口，供嘹望和射击用。城墙顶上每隔三百多米就有一座方形的城台，是屯兵的堡垒。打仗的时候，成台之间可以互相呼应。

站在长城上，踏着脚上的方砖，扶着墙上的条石，很自然地想起古代修筑长城的劳动人民来。单看这数不清的条石，一块有两三千斤重。那时候没有火车、汽车，没有起重机，就靠着无数的肩膀无数的手，一步一步地抬上这陡峭的山岭。多少劳动人民的血汗和智慧，才凝结成这前不见头、后不见尾的万里长城。

这样气魄雄伟的工程，在世界历史上是一个伟大的奇迹。

中国的长城

中国的万里长城被称为“万里长城”。事实上，它有6000多公里长。它蜿蜒地从西向东，穿过沙漠，越过高山，穿过山谷，直到最后到达大海。它是世界奇观之一。

长城有二十多个世纪的历史。它的第一部分是在春秋时期建造的。战国时期，有更多的城墙被用来保卫不同王国的边界。正是在秦朝，秦国把帝夫的发福部分统一为一个帝国。为了把敌人赶出他的帝国，秦始皇把所有的城墙连在一起。于是，长城诞生了。

长城的宽度足以让五匹马或十个人并排走。沿着墙的是瞭望塔，士兵们常常在那里守望。当敌人到来时，在塔上点燃了火作为警告。

在古代没有任何现代机器的情况下，很难建造这样一堵墙。所有的工作都是手工完成的。成千上万的人死了，被埋在他们建造的城墙下。长城不仅是由石头和泥土建成的，而且是几百万人的血肉所组成的。

今天，长城不仅对中国人，而且对来自世界各地的人都有兴趣。他们中的许多人都知道中国著名的谚语:“没有到达长城的人不是真正的人。”

The Great Wall of China,also known in China as the Great Wall of 10,000,is an ancient Chinese fortification built from the end of the 14th century until the beginning of the 17th century,during the Ming Dynasty,in order to protect China from raids by the Mongols and Turkic tribes.It was preceded by several walls built since the 3rd century BC against the raids of nomadic tribes coming from areas now in modern day Mongolia and Manchuria.The Wall stretches over a formidable 6,350 km (3,946 miles),from Shanhai Pass on the Bohai Gulf in the east,at the limit between China proper and Manchuria,to Lop Nur in the southeastern portion of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

The first major wall was built during the reign of the First Emperor,the main emperor of the short-lived Qin dynasty.This wall was not constructed as a single endeavor,but rather was created by the joining of several regional walls built by the Warring States.It was located much further north than the current Great Wall,and very little remains of it.A defensive wall on the northern border was built and maintained by several dynasties at different times in Chinese history.The Great Wall that can still be seen today was built during the Ming Dynasty,on a much larger scale and with longer lasting materials (solid stone used for the sides and the top of the Wall) than any wall that had been built before.The primary purpose of the wall was not to keep out people,who could scale the wall,but to insure that semi-nomadic people on the outside of the wall could not cross with their horses or return easily with stolen property.

中国的长城,在中国也被称为10000年的长城,是中国古代建造防御工事结束从14世纪到17世纪初,明朝期间,为了保护中国从蒙古和突厥部落的袭击。它之前是几个墙建自公元前3世纪游牧部落的袭击来自现在在现代蒙古和满洲地区。长城延伸一个强大的6350公里(3946英里),从山海关在渤海湾东部,在限制中国的满洲,罗布泊新疆维吾尔自治区东南部的部分。

第一个主要墙建成第一个皇帝的统治期间,主要的短暂的秦朝的皇帝。这堵墙是不作为一个努力,而是由几个地区的加入墙由战国。这是位于比当前更北的长城,,仍然很少。北部边境的防御墙是建立和维护由几个王朝在中国历史上不同时期。仍然可以看到今天的长城建于明朝,规模更大、更持久的材料(固体石用于墙的两侧和顶部)比任何以前建成的墙。墙上的主要目的并不是将人拒之门外,谁能规模墙上,而是确保外的墙上半游牧的人无法跨越的马很容易与赃物或返回。

The Great Wall, is the symbol of the Chinese nation, its magnificence, is the place we look forward to the people of the world.

The Great Wall is like a huge dragon winding is located in the badaling, ups and downs in the mountains, ancient and solemn.

Look forward to the Great Wall, the Great Wall no head, looked back, the Great Wall is not the tail. Ah! Really not the kui is called the "Great Wall". So how long wall built in? You might ask, how much manpower has been spent on the Great Wall? Chinese ancient working people with intelligence, just built the world famous Great Wall, thus, we the Chinese people are great!

Grass at the foot of the Great Wall, slightly nod, the flowers waved. The wings of the butterfly flapping shine. Valley cloud, like a white gauze covered in the whole valley. Swallows dancing lightly over the valley, scissors tail like flash. What a beautiful view!

长城，是中华民族的象征，它雄伟壮丽，是世界人民向往的地方。

长城像一条巨龙蜿蜒曲折地坐落在八达岭上，起伏在崇山峻岭之中，古老而庄严。

长城向前望去，长城不见头，向后望去，长城不见尾。啊!真不愧被世人称作“万里长城”。这么长的城墙是怎么建造成的呢?你也许会问，长城花费了多少人力物力啊?我国古代劳动人民凭着聪明才智，才修建了举世闻名的万里长城，由此可见，我们中华民族是多么伟大啊!

长城脚下，青草微微地点头，花儿不住地招手。蝴蝶扑打着闪闪发光的翅膀。山谷里云雾缭绕，像白纱一样覆盖着整个山谷。燕子在山谷上空轻快地飞舞，剪刀似的尾巴一闪一闪。多么秀丽的景色啊!

看来，长城不仅以它的雄伟壮丽吸引着人们，而还以美丽景色吸引着人们。

我爱祖国悠久的历史，灿烂的文化，更爱它锦绣的山河。

The great wall was renovated from time to time after the qin 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 liaoning province in the east.

What lies north of beijing is but a small section of it.a map of the great wallthe map shows the wall azuoweng from jiayu pass of gansu province to shanhai pass of hebei province. representative sections of the great wall built in ming times are situated near shanhai pass, gubeikou and juyong pass.badaling sectionthe badaling section of the great wall snaking along the mountains northwest of beijing was built at the beginning of the ming dynasty in the 14th century.

Being 7.8 metres high and 5.8 metres wide at the top on the average, it has battle forts at important points, including the corners.located 10 kilometers south of the badaling section of the great wall and built in an 18.5-kilometre-long valley, the pass has always been an important gateway northwest of beijing. the name is believed to have its origin in the workers and slaves conscripted to build the great wall in ancient times. cloud terrace, built in 1345, was originally the base of a pagoda over looking the main road of the town of the pass.

The arched gate of the terrace and the walls inside the arch are decorated with carvings. of elephants, lions, birds, flowers and heavenly kings as well as charms in six languages-sanskrit, tibe tan, phats pa (mongolian), uygur, west xia and han.mutianyu sectionthe mutianyu section of the great wall, 70 kilometers northeast of beijing, is linked to the gubeikou section on the east and the badaling section on the west. it is one of the best sections of the great wall.the mutianyu section of the great wall is crenelatted for watching and shooting at the invading enemy. some of the battle forts on the wall are as close as 50 metres apart.jinshanling sectionlocated in miyun county northeast of beijing, the jinshanling division of the great wall, like the simatai division, belongs to the gubeikou section of the colossal defence barrier.

The battlements in the jinshanling division of the great wall are built along the ridge of a mountain, where the soldiers can resist the invading enemy by taking advantage of the high terrain.a decrepit battle fort at dusk often reminds one of the battles in ancient times.

The Great Wall runs across North China like a huge dragon, It winds its way

from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last

it reaches the sea. Its the longest wall on the earth, also one of the wonders

in the world.The Great Wall has a history of more than 2000 years. The first part was

built during the Spring and Autumn Period.

All the walls were joined up in Qin Dynasty.All tile work was done by

hand.Thousands of people died while building the wall.Thus the Great Wall came

into existence.Since then, it has been rebuilt and repaired many times.

Now the Great Wall,the admiration of the world, has taken on a new look.

Its visited by large numbers of people from all parts of the country and the

world.
