The Great Wall of China

 

It is a common misconception that the Great Wall of China was built for defense purposes. Actually, most of the time during the Great Wall’s history was spent in peacetime. At all times, the Great Wall has always been a bridge across the country to promote foreign policies, culture, and economy.

Speaking philosophically, this landmark says well for growth in the assorted soil of war and peace.

The Great Wall symbolizes an impregnable power no matter what the conditions and it is recognized as the spirit of the people of China.

Chinese history, aside from culture, economy, and policies is an essential aspect of China that cannot

be separated from the Great Wall. The great influence of the Great Wall on China’s history has a profound effect even today after it was first built some two thousand years ago.

China’s Great Wall is the name for the wall of legendary reputation that was built as a fortress for the northern side China border in the third century BC. The name also includes the remarkable stone and earthen defense built on the side of another border on the north side in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries AD, years after this ancient fortress had virtually disappeared.
