The symbolic significance of Qin Changcheng is greater than its practical value: realizing the symbol and forest of a country.

The symbolic significance of Qin Changcheng is not only its practical value: becoming a symbol of a country. The following are the written materials collected and published by School Easy Search. Let's have a quick look!

Building the Great Wall can't stop the invasion and integration of northern minorities, and it is of little practical value. But as a symbol, she has been dissolved into the blood and character of the Chinese nation and will live with the world.

& gt& gt There is a modern popular song called "Meng Jiangnu Crys at the Great Wall", and the lyrics are as follows: >> Meng Jiangnu cried at the Great Wall. This is a sincere commemoration of the sound of blood and tears.

& gt& gt Meng Jiangnv cried in the Great Wall. This is a resounding declaration of love.

& gt& gt The Great Wall suddenly collapsed, > > This ending was full of blood and tears.

& gt& gt Sad people. Before I returned to my long-lost hometown, flowers bloomed in my dream.

& gt& gt The folk story of Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall has been circulated for more than two thousand years. It's about Meng Jiangnv's husband Wan Xiliang, who was recruited by the Qin Dynasty to the border to repair the Great Wall of Wan Li on their wedding night. Meng Jiangnv, who longed for her husband's warm clothes, came all the way to the Great Wall to find her husband along the Great Wall, and all she saw along the way were countless bones. She walked all the way from Hebei to Shanhaiguan and learned that her husband was dead, exhausted at the site of the Great Wall and buried at the foot of the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnv cried at the Great Wall for a day and a night, which touched the gods. The Great Wall collapsed and the bones were exposed. The poor woman knew that it was her husband's bone by dripping blood. She picked up her husband's body and two packages full of warm clothes for him and jumped into the sea. Where she jumped into the sea, it is said that two packages produced two rocks in the sea. Now, in Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao, the remains of Jiangnv Temple are still preserved. It faces the sea and faces two rocks generated by her husband's cold clothes.

& gt& gt This folk story, also known as Meng Jiangnv's story of finding a husband, has been adapted into various literary forms such as opera, song and dance, storytelling and so on for more than two thousand years.

When Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, Meng Jiangnv cried. The people went to the Great Wall in tears to express their dissatisfaction with Qin Shihuang's tyrannical rule. They went to the Great Wall in tears and flogged Qin Shihuang for more than two thousand years. This is how the people of China gnashed their teeth at the tyrants in history! & gt& gt In fact, in all fairness, it is understandable that Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall in Wan Li. From the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Chinese nation was greatly integrated and continued to the Qin Dynasty and many subsequent dynasties. Xiongnu, a powerful nomadic people in the north, has long threatened the Chinese nation in the farming culture of the Central Plains. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, his ambition to further expand the territory did not end. In 32 years, General Meng Tian was ordered to lead 300,000 troops to attack Xiongnu in the north. After the Huns were expelled, 44 new counties were established in Yuzhong and east of the Yellow River to Yinshan, and the forcibly relocated people were placed in these new counties. In thirty-six years, I moved to 30,000 households in Beihe and Yuzhong, giving each household a first-class merit award. Based on the scale of 500 to 1000 households in each county, the first batch of immigrants should be about 6.5438+0.5 million. The second batch of immigrants is not less than 6.5438+0.5 million, and the total number is estimated to be 300,000. In 33 years, 500,000 troops were recruited to conquer South Vietnam and seize Lvliang land, and three counties of Guilin, Xiang Jun and Nanhai were established here to resettle compulsory immigrants. In thirty-four years, unjust prison officials were sent to build the Great Wall or moved to South Vietnam. In thirty-five years, a palace was built in Shanglinyuan, Weihe River, and more than 700,000 criminals and prisoners sentenced to imprisonment were recruited, and Epang Palace and Lishan Mausoleum were built. Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall in Wan Li. Since 32 years ago, more than 600,000 civilian staff have been recruited.

& gt& gt According to historical documents, the earliest place to build the Great Wall should be Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the Great Wall of Qi was earlier. The Great Wall of Qi was built from Bohai Sea to Pingyin. Although the Great Wall of Qi is later than the Great Wall of Chu, it is very famous in the history of the Great Wall of the vassal States, about 1 0,000 Li. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was very common for Qin, Chu, Qi, Wei, Zhao, Yan and South Korea to build the Great Wall. In Qin, Zhao and Yan countries, in addition to the defensive Great Wall between the vassal states, the Great Wall in the north of the country was also built to prevent the Huns from plundering the south, which laid the foundation for the construction of the Great Wall in Wan Li. After Meng Tian led the army to drive the Huns to Mobei, he began to reinforce the Northern Great Wall of Yanzhao Qin. This is the first time that China built the Great Wall of Wan Li, so it is generally said that the Great Wall of Wan Li began with Qin Shihuang.

& gt& gt Later, the Great Wall of Wan Li, built by Qin Shihuang with great people's strength, starts from Min County, Gansu Province in the west and reaches Liaodong in the east, which is longer than the existing Great Wall of Wan Li, totaling more than 6,000 kilometers, and is located in the north. The construction of Qin Changcheng is the first large-scale construction of the Great Wall of Wan Li in history. The huge project consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the heavy corvee makes the people complain, so many stories and legends about repairing the Great Wall are circulated among the people. Meng Jiangnv's crying at the Great Wall is just one of them, and Meng Jiangnv has no direct connection with Qin Changcheng. The Jiangnv Temple in Shanhaiguan was built in the Song Dynasty.

& gt& gt There is nothing wrong with Qin Shihuang building the Great Wall. What's wrong with defending our country? His mistakes are still related to his violence and abuse of people's power. According to the productivity level at that time in the Qin Dynasty and the population of 40 million in China, it was really impossible to build a 6,000-kilometer project as vast as the Great Wall of Wan Li. The ranks of migrant workers recruited to repair the Great Wall are flying sand and stones in the barren mountains and deserts, sleeping in the wind, not having enough to eat, and doing a lot of manual work, and more and more people are killed and injured. According to historical records, countless people died in some places, and many migrant workers were buried in a ditch. The hardships, blood, tears and lives of the workers in the construction of the Great Wall in Wan Li are unimaginable.

& gt& gt It should be said that Qin Shihuang made some achievements in building the Great Wall of Wan Li, resisting the invasion of Xiongnu in the north and protecting the farming culture in the Central Plains. However, the construction of the Great Wall has separated thousands of farmers from farming, and the construction of cities to defend the border has also caused great social shock. So there was the cry of guarding the soldiers, and the people in the valley were burned to the ground. Finally, the peasant uprisings in Chen Sheng and Guangwu led to the rapid demise of the Qin Dynasty.

& gt& gt Qin Shihuang's abuse of people's power, the construction of the Great Wall in Wan Li is just one of them, as well as the construction of the national highway, Gong Chao Palace, Epang Palace, the tomb of Mount Li, and millions of immigrants. Due to the difference of immigrant objects and places, some immigrants have to rely on official food supply. The 6.5438+0.2 million households who moved to Xianyang for the first time are very rich in the world. They can't engage in production by themselves, and Xianyang area can't provide the food they need. The 300,000 people who moved to Beihe and Yuzhong in the northern frontier for the second time could not immediately achieve food self-sufficiency. In the initial stage of resettlement and production, the government had to import food from other places. More than 6,543,800 people were recruited, not engaged in agriculture or other production, but built the Great Wall, palaces, tombs and border defense. They served in Xianyang and the northern frontier, and the local area could not supply their food. So in these years, the Qin government will provide food for 600,000 immigrants and 700,000 prisoners in Xianyang and 300,000 soldiers and 300,000 immigrants in the northern frontier. The main grain producing area in Qin Dynasty was Kanto, and only Kanto had surplus grain for export. Limited by traffic conditions, the output is quite difficult. Only by land, whether it is human or animal power, even if the loss during transportation is not considered, the transporters themselves will consume a lot of food on the way.

& gt& gt Yan, the father of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, once said: Qin Shihuang attacked the Huns in the north, causing the world to fly and pull out millet. Starting from the county where Huang Lang and evil spirits were in charge of the sea, he turned to the North River, with a rate of 30 points and one stone. One minute is much more than six minutes, which means that it takes more than 1 80 loads to transport1load. With such a loss, we can imagine how many migrant workers need to be mobilized to transport food to meet the food supply of nearly 2 million migrant workers.

& gt& gt According to Shen Kuo's calculation in the Northern Song Dynasty, on average, each civilian can only carry six buckets of rice, and he eats two liters a day. Civilian personnel have to have food when they go back, but actually they consume four liters every day. If animals are used, they may be transported more, but people who drive animals will consume food and animals will consume feed. It is generally more than 600 kilometers to transport grain from Kanto to the junction of the Great Wall and Xianyang. If the civilian worker can walk 40 kilometers every day, it will take at least 15 days to walk 600 kilometers, and he just ran out of food on his back. If he leaves for 14 days, he can only leave 4 liters of grain at the destination and can only feed one person for 2 days. Maintain a person's food needs for one year 180 person-times. Assuming someone is in charge, at least 15 people are needed. To provide for the survival of 600,000 people in the northern frontier, at least 9 million people should be mobilized for special transportation. The distance from most areas east of Taihang Mountain to Hetao is more than 600 kilometers, so 9 million migrant workers are still a very conservative figure. What's more, Xianyang has a population of 6.5438+0.3 million, which is also an extremely heavy burden.

& gt& gt Some experts have calculated that the labor force recruited by Qin Shihuang was by no means 15% of the population. With a population of 40 million, the labor force for collecting and transporting food may be as high as 20 million or so, accounting for 50% of the total population. Because of this, in order to maintain normal agricultural production, even the old, weak and underage men and women must take part in field work. The reason why the Qin Dynasty lasted for a period of time was that when the Six Kingdoms perished, a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and grain were plundered from various countries, and Xianyang still had some grain reserves. There are 6.5438+0.3 million people in Xianyang and 600,000 people in the northern frontier, and people are constantly fleeing. The highest supply only lasted for one or two years, and some of them began to engage in agricultural production one after another, which eased the supply pressure to some extent. But in any case, Qin Shihuang's collection of population has reached its limit.

& gt& gt The toil, suffering, hunger and death of the working people led to the folklore of Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall and the Guangwu Uprising, Chen Sheng. Of course, this made Qin Shihuang eat his own fruit, but the people lost more. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the population decreased by more than half, and it was not until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the population peaked before the Qin Dynasty.

& gt& gt In fact, the Great Wall was built many times, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties, and then to the Northern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasties. Because it is on the northern border, the Great Wall has been constantly being repaired. But the last time the Great Wall was really built on a large scale, it was the Great Wall in Wan Li that we saw today, and it was the last Great Wall in Wan Li in the Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall is the most magnificent national defense construction project in ancient China. It is called a miracle in the history of world architecture and a symbol of the Chinese nation. It is said that Americans flew to the moon by Apollo spacecraft and looked back at the pale blue earth. Besides seeing five continents and six oceans, they can also vaguely see a long silkworm or dragon lying on a mulberry leaf-like land in the northern hemisphere-that is the Great Wall of Wan Li, China! The pride of China, the Great Wall of Wan Li, is also the pride of the earth! & gt& gt When I first climbed the Badaling Great Wall, I was surprised and shocked! Facing the Great Wall of Wan Li, which twists and turns from east to west and climbs over mountains and valleys, I can't help shouting: Great! Great! The Great Wall of Wan Li has been included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List. Qin Shihuang left forever with unprovoked comments from people he didn't know, but he knew that the Great Wall of Wan Li, which he couldn't build, stayed and will stay forever. The Great Wall of Wan Li has become the backbone of the Chinese nation and the symbol of the capital. Although the construction of the Great Wall can't stop the invasion and integration of the northern minorities, and its practical value is not great, as a symbol, it has been integrated into the blood and character of the Chinese nation and will be with the world.
