Brief introduction of Wan Li Great Wall information

The Great Wall, also known as the Great Wall of Wan Li, is an ancient military defense project in China. It is a tall, solid and continuous long wall, which is used to limit the enemy's actions. The Great Wall is not a simple isolated wall, but a defense system with the wall as the main body and a large number of cities, obstacles, pavilions and landmarks.

The Great Wall is a miracle created by working people in ancient China. Building the Great Wall has been a big project since the Qin Dynasty. According to records, Qin Shihuang used nearly one million laborers to build the Great Wall, accounting for 1/20 of the national population. At that time, there was no machinery, and all labor depended on manpower. The working environment was steep mountains and steep cliffs. As you can imagine, this huge project cannot be completed without a large number of people working hard.

Great Wall resources are mainly distributed in Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Shandong, Henan, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang and other provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.

Shaanxi Province is the province with the richest resources of the Great Wall in China, with a total length of 1838 km. According to the results of the national Great Wall resources survey conducted by cultural relics and surveying and mapping departments, the total length of the Great Wall in Ming Dynasty was 885 1.8km, and it was more than 1 1,000 km in Qin and Han Dynasties and its early period, and the total length was more than 2 1 1,000 km.
