The Great wall, symbolizing China¨s ancient civilization, is one of the famous, grand and splendid ancient construction wonders in the world.It is just like a giant dragon starting from Yalu River and crossing high mountains, deserts and grassland to the Pamir Plateau, the roof of the world from east to west in the northern part of China, For many centuries, the Great Wall, as a military gigantic defensive project, kept out the invading troops of the northern nomadic tribes. Having undergone the nature for thousands of years, the Great Wall witnessed the rise and fall of many dynasties and changes on the earth, yet it is still standing proudly in the east historical scenic spot for tourists, and it plays a role in bridging up the friendship between the Chinese people and peoples in different parts of the world. When the spacemen looked down with their naked eyes onto the earth from the spaceship, one of the man-made projects on the earth that could be seen is the Great Wall of China. Construction of the Great Wall first began in the seventh century BC. At that time it was also called Spring and Autumn Warring States Periol(770-476 BC. And 475-221 BC.) The first wall that appeared in China was built by Kingdom Qi and Kingdom Chu. They built a high wall, which was called ^Square Wall ̄ surrounding their own territories that could make the invading enemy feel terrified by the high wall, so it was also known as the Qi Great Wall and the Chu Great Wall, so it was also known as the Qi Great Wall and the Chu Great Wall. During the Warring States Period(475-221 BC.) there were mainly seven small kingdoms known as Kingdoms of Qi、Chu、Yan、Zhao、Han、Wei、Qin. In order to defend themselves against the infringing enemy from the neighboring states, all the kingdoms had high walls built around their own territories for self protectiong. They also built high walls at the strategic points to protect their northern territories. The three states of Qin,Zhao, and Yan had the high walls and fortresses built along their northern frontiers as defensive projects. These high walls were the primitive type of the present day Great Wall and laid the foundation for the present Great Wall. In Chinese history, large-scale construction of the Great Wall was concentrated in three dynasties: They are Qin, Han and Ming dynasties.
