As a Chinese, I really like our ancient architecture, which is the Great Wall. The Great Wall, also known as the Great Wall of China, was an ancient military defense fortification in China. It was a tall, sturdy, and continuous wall used to limit the movement of enemy cavalry. The Great Wall is not a simple isolated city wall, but a defensive system consisting mainly of the city wall, combined with a large number of cities, barriers, pavilions, and landmarks.
The history of the construction of the Great Wall can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the famous allusion "Beacon Fire Plays Marquises" that occurred in the capital city of Haojing (now Xi'an, Shaanxi) originated from this [1-6]. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various countries competed for hegemony and defended each other. The construction of the Great Wall entered its first peak, but at this time, the length of the construction was relatively short. After Qin conquered the Six Kingdoms and unified the country, Emperor Qin Shihuang connected and repaired the Great Wall of the Warring States period, earning the name of the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles. The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty to renovate the Great Wall, and most of the Great Wall that people saw was built during this time.
