The building of the Great Wall first began in the seventh century BC. The first section of wall was built by the Qi Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom. In Chinese history, there are three climaxes of building the Great Wall. They were in the Qin, Han and Ming dynasties. The sections of the wall began to be called the Great Wall in the time of Qin Shihuang. In order to ward off harassment by the Huns and for the use of further defensive projects, many sections were linked up and expanded and finally it was extended into a Great Wall. The total length of the Great Wall was over 5,000 kilometers long, so in Chinese, we call it “Wan Li Chang Cheng. ” The Qin Great Wall started from Lintao, Gansu Province in the west and ended in Liaodong, Liaoning Province in the east. The second climax of building the Great Wall was in Han Dynasty. In order to ward off the Huns as well as to protect the Silk Road, the Great Wall in Han Dynasty extended towards the west for another 5,000 kilometers long to the Lop Nur Lake in todays Xinjiang . The Han Great wall started from the Liaodong Peninsula in the east and ended at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain in Xinjiang, with a total length of 10,000 kilometers. The last large-scale project on the Great Wall was carried out in the Ming Dynasty. In order to ward off the harassment of the remaining forces of the Yuan and the newly raised ethnic tribe of “Nu Zhen”, the Great wall had been built. The total length of the Ming Great Wall was more than 7,000 kilometers from Yalu River in Liaoning Province in the east, to Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu Province in the west. It passes nine cities, provinces and autonomous regions. The functions of the Great Wall in Chinese history are in four aspects, they are in military, economy, perfect harmony of various nationalities and the friendship between Asians and Europeans. The structures of the Great Wall are the beacon tower and watch tower. Beacon towers were built on both sides of the Wall at the commanding points, which were at the top of the mountains or the twists and turns for making warning signals. Whenever the enemy was sighted, fires were lit on the top of the beacon tower at night, and the smoke was made during the daytime. Watch towers were built at regular intervals on the Great Wall itself for watching over the invading enemy. A watch tower was usually two stories high, and the defense soldiers lived inside. The ground floor was used for storing weapons and had a number of windows for archers. The upper floor had battlements, peep holes and apertures for archers. In the middle of the tower there were small living quarters for the defense soldiers. The watch towers were not only used by the defending troops to take shelter from the wind, rain and heat, but also to fight and check the enemys advance, and store arms and ammunition.

They were of great strategic importance in defending the national capital, Juyongguan Pass is one of them. Inside Juyong Pass there is an ancient marble platform known as “Cloud Terrace”. It was built in Yuan Dynasty. There used to be three Tibetan style pagodas built on the terrace with a road passing under it from north to south. Later, when the pagodas were destroyed, a temple was built. However, the temple was burnt down in a fire in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, so only the terrace remained. The Cloud Terrace is 9.5 meters high, 26.8 meters from east to west, 17.6 meters from north to south at the base, and it narrows towards the top.

Now well-known as the Great Wall of China， it starts at the Jiayuguan Pass of Gansu Province in the west and ends at the Shanhaiguan Pass of Hebei Province in the east. As one of the Eight Wonders in the world， the Great Wall of China has become the symbol of the Chinese nation and its culture. Lots of beautiful legends and stories about the Great Wall took place following along the construction， and since that time these stories have spread around the country. Those that happened during construction are abundant， such as Meng Jiangnus story and the legend of the Jiayuguan Pass. Meng Jiangnus story is the most famous and widely spread of all the legends about the Great Wall. The story happened during the Qin Dynasty (221BC-206BC). It tells of how Meng Jiangnus bitter weeping made a section of the Great Wall collapse. Meng Jiangnus husband Fan Qiliang was caught by federal officials and sent to build the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnu heard nothing from him after his departure， so she set out to look for him. Unfortunately， by the time she reached the great wall， she discovered that her husband had already died. Hearing the bad news， she cried her heart out. Her howl caused the collapse of a part of the Great Wall. This story indicates that the Great Wall is the production of tens of thousands of Chinese commoners. Another legend about the Jiayuguan Pass tells of a workman named Yi Kaizhan in the Ming Dynasty (1368BC-1644BC) who was proficient in arithmetic. He calculated that it would need 99，999 bricks to build the Jiayuguan Pass. The supervisor did not believe him and said if they miscalculated by even one brick， then all the workmen would be punished to do hard work for three years. After the completion of the project， one brick was left behind the Xiwong city gate.The supervisor was happy at the sight of the brick and ready to punish them. However Yi Kaizhan said with deliberation that the brick was put there by a supernatural being to fix the wall. A tiny move would cause the collapse of the wall. Therefore the brick was kept there and never moved. It can still be found there today on the tower of the Jiayuguan Pass. In addition to the above-mentioned stories about the construction of the Great Wall， there are also plenty of stories about current scenic spots. A famous one is the legend of the Beacon Tower. This story happened during the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century BC-711 BC). King You had a queen named Bao Si， who was very pretty. King You liked her very much， however Bao Si never smiled. An official gave a suggestion that setting the beacon tower on fire would frighten the Kings subjects， and might make the queen smile. King You liked the idea. The subjects were fooled and Bao Si smiled at the sight of the chaos. Later enemies invaded Western Zhou， King You set the beacon tower on fire to ask for help. No subjects came to help because they had been fooled once before. Thus， King Zhou was killed by the enemy and Western Zhou came to an end. Beautiful stories and legends about the Great Wall help to keep alive Chinese history and culture. In each dynasty after the building of the Great Wall， many more stories were created and spread.长城英语导游词篇三：The Great Wall长城英文导游词 The Great Wall, like the Pyramids of Egypt and the Hanging Garden of Babylon(2), is one of the great wonders of the world. Starting out in the east on the banks of the Yalu River in Liaoning Province, the Wall stretches westwards for 12,700 kilometers to Jiayuguan in the Gobi desert, thus known as the Ten Thousand Li Wall in China. The Wall climbs up and down, twists and turns along the ridges of the Yanshan and Yinshan Mountain Chains through five provinces-Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu-and two autonomous regions-Ningxia and Inner Mongolia, binding the northern China together. History Historical records trace the construction of the origin of the Wall to defensive fortification back to the year 656 B.C. during the reign of King Cheng of the States of Chu. Its construction continued throughout the Warring States period in the fifth Century B.C. when ducal states Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Qin were frequently plundered by the nomadic peoples living north of the Yinshan and Yanshan mountain ranges. Walls, then, were built separately by these ducal states to ward off such harassments. Later in 221 B.C., when Qin conquered the other states and unified China, Emperor Qinshihuang ordered the connection of these individual walls and further extensions to form the basis of the present great wall. As a matter of fact, a separate outer wall was constructed north of the Yinshan range in the Han Dynasty(206 BC-1644 BC.), which went to ruin through years of neglect. In the many intervening centuries, succeeding dynasties rebuilt parts of the Wall. The most extensive reinforcements and renovations were carried out in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) when altogether 18 lengthy stretches were reinforced with bricks and rocks. it is mostly the Ming Dynasty Wall that visitors see today. Architecture The Great Wall is divided into two sections, the east and west, with Shanxi Province as the dividing line. The west part is a rammed earth construction, about 5.3 meters high on average. In the eastern part, the core of the Wall is rammed earth as well, but the outer shell is reinforced with bricks and rocks. The most imposing and best preserved sections of the Great Wall are at Badaling and Mutianyu, not far from Beijing and both are open to visitors. Passes There stand 14 major passes (Guan, in Chinese) at places of strategic importance along the Great Wall, the most important being Shanghaiguan and Jiayuguan. Yet the most impressive one is Juyongguan, about 50 kilometers northwest of Beijing. Known as Tian Xia Di YI Guan (The First Pass Under Heaven), Shanghaiguan Pass is situated between two sheer cliffs forming a neck connecting north China with the northeast. It had been, therefore, a key junction contested by all strategists and many famous battles were fought here. It was the gate of Shanghaiguan that the Ming general Wu Sangui opened to the Manchu army to suppress the peasant rebellion led by Li Zicheng and so surrendered the
