THE GREAT WALL
March 27th,2006 I climbed the Great Wall with David and we went around everywhere we could find.Strong wind that day but our interests never wade.At first there's some cold but when we climbed on the top of the mountain we got sweat.Many foreign friends on the steps but few to climb the east part of the mountain.That afternoon we arrived the east mountain.Acrossed see the west mountain and the so high peak we used climbed,I'm proud of myself as well as my motherland.
I'm very happy can enjoy my pleasure with my friends who accompanied with me.But if my lover besides me,that will be greater.When I visited those lovely natural places always I have forgotten myself and nothing appeared but Nature and I.Unforgetable,weared a male suit and a big slipper,my hair was blowed in a mess,but never mind,I lost myself in my journey.
Yes,these are my steps.

The Great Wall

长城是中国的象征，它像一条巨龙横卧在华北，长达六千多公里。长城始建于两千多年前的秦始皇时代，现在是中外游客向往的旅游胜地。你想了解中国的历史吗？你想领略长城的新貌吗？请到长城一游。
The Great Wall extends over 6,000 kilometres in North China. It rises and falls like a magical dragon keeping the spiritual lifeline of our nation.
More than 2,000 years ago, the First Emperor of Qin ordered that the separate walls left over by the principalities be linked up to form a wall thousands of kilometres long.
The state of Qin conquered the country. General Meng Tian commanded 300,000 troops to beat back the attacks of the Huns in the north, take the Great Bend of the Yellow River and build the Great Wall ... The Great Wall extended from Lintao to Liaodong for more than ten thousand li.
When hundreds of thousands of peasants, soldiers and prisoners built the wall in the mountains with their blood and sweat, they began to create a miracle in the world history, one of the greatest masterpieces left by mankind on the globe.
The Chinese made so great efforts to build the wall because they were determined to defend their civilization. The Great Wall was a line of demarcation between the agricultural civilization and the nomadic civilization. Outside the Great Wall were grasslands and deserts. Inside it were fields and cities, a society with a high level of civilization built on the foundation of agriculture.
Built in a period of about a thousand years, the Great Wall shows the firm will of the Chinese nation to defend its peaceful life. Even today, people are singing in the National Anthem: “With our flesh and blood, let us build our new Great Wall.”
Of course, the Great Wall was mainly a defensive project at first. During the Han Dynasty, the Great Wall stood on the desolate land like a guard defending the Silk Road, the only route of trade between the east and the west. The Great Wall extended to distant places.
In a multi－national country, the defensive function of the Great Wall gradually disappeared. The Great Wall was rebuilt on a large scale during the Ming Dynasty.
During the Qing Dynasty when Emperor Qianlong crossed the Great Wall on his way to the Mountain Summer Resort, he was glad to find that the people of different ethnic groups inside and outside the Great Wall had become one family. The Great Wall kept apart the farming groups and the nomadic groups, but the separation enhanced their mutual attraction.
The Great Wall prevented disordered plunder and promoted ordered trade. Bartering tea for horses brought prosperity to many cities along the Great Wall. Some strategic passes and fortresses became important cities and towns.
Now the cultural discrepancies between the areas inside and outside the Great Wall have disappeared. The Great Wall has become a symbol of peace for various ethnic groups.
Today the Great Wall has no practical use any longer, but people are coming from everywhere to view its grandeur and express their feelings. “The sky is high； the fleecy clouds are bright. We watch the southbound wild geese out of sight.” The Great Wall is encouraging the Chinese nation to march on for ever.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to the Great Wall. The Great Wall of China is one of the wonders of the world. It is one of the few man-made objects on earth that can be seen on the moon. It dates from about 770 BC. It is more than 6000 kilometres long, 6-7 metres high and 4-5 metres wide. All the work was done by hand. Many people were forced to work on the wall. Now the Great Wall has become a place of interest. We all know the famous Chinese saying: “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.” Now let me show you around the Great Wall. This way, Please.
---------------------------------------------------
In the north of China, there lies a 6,700-kilometer-long (4,161-mile-long) ancient wall. 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 Jiangnu's story and the legend of the Jiayuguan Pass. Meng Jiangnu's 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 Jiangnu's bitter weeping made a section of the Great Wall collapse. Meng Jiangnu's 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 King's 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.
