| 长城(Great Wall) |

|
长城始建于春秋战国时期（７７０ＢＣ-２２１ＢＣ）。各诸侯国为互相防御和抵御北方游牧部落的侵扰，在地形险要之处相继兴筑长城。
公元前２２１年，秦始皇统一中国后，将从前的长城连接起来。在以后的几个历史时期，经过自然和人为因素的毁坏，保存到今天的大都已是断断续续的遗迹。而在这些遗迹中保存最完整、最坚固、最雄伟的是明代长城。
长城绵亘中国的十一个省、市、自治区，西起嘉峪关，东到鸭绿江，全长约１２６００华里。它不仅是古代最雄伟的军事防御工程，也是世界上最非凡最伟大的古老建筑之一。

Construction of the Great Wall began during the Spring
and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period (770BC-221BC),
Several ducal states built wall fortifications along the
precipitous mountain ridges to ward off the plunder of
nomadic people and the invasion of each other. In 221
BC, Qin Shi Huang ordered to link the walls up after he
united China.
During the following dynasties, the Great Wall was destroyed
continuously by natural disasters and human beings.Amongst
the remained broken pieces of walls, those constructed
in Ming Dynasty are the most well-preserved and splendid
ones.
The Great Wall stretches some 6,300km from Jiayuguan
Pass in the west to the Yalujiang River in the east, traversing
11 provinces,
municipalities and autonomous regions. It is the most
magnificent ancient military defence work and one of the
most remarkable ancient buildings in the world. |
