History of the Great Wall of China The Great Wall of China is a UNESCO heritage site, which stretches 13,171 miles. It is probably the first thing tourists think about when they visit China. People know it is huge and that it is proteoted, but many do not know the history behind it and the details of its construction. If you do not have the chance to visit China and read information about the site, then this essay will supplement some of this missed information. In the following paragraphs, I will break down the history of the Great Wall and hopefully you will gain insight into this important country and its ancient times. By 8th century BC, the Chinese were already building massive walls to fortify borders. In the Warring States period, the states of Qin, Wei, Zhao, Qi, Yan, and Zhongshan built walls to keep out attackers and to show where their borders were. These walls were commonly made out of earth, gravel, and wood. Out of the Warring States period emerged the victorious King Zheng of Qin, who had defeated his aggressors and vied to unify China. He was crowned the First Emperor of the Qin dynasty in 221 BC, and his initial order of business was to take down existing border walls in his empire that were meant to divide. After this was completed, he ordered that a new wall to be made along the empire's northern edge, and to connect some walls so that the empire could be completely marked. However, he did not consider the walls to be a fixed construction: Zheng's principle was to build and move forward with the empire. In this sense, the Qin Wall was more of a flexible and always changing fixture. As you can imagine, the Qin Wall was difficult to construct without modern equipment. They did their best to use local materials from mountains and the earth. Sadly, there are only few sections of the original Wall that still stand today. The exact length is not known due to a lack of records, and up to a million lives were lost as workers did their best to build this landmark. In the following periods of the Han dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), the Sui dynasty (581-618 AD)", and northern dynasties (420-589 AD), the Great Wall was fixed, rebuilt, and expanded upon. Once again, the cost of lives was great, but they saw it as essential in order to keep northern invaders out of the empire. However, in the Tang (618-907 AD) and Song (960-1279 AD) dynasties, not much was done to defend against attacks in the north, and further work on the Great Wall was not put much attention to. As a side note, the Liao (907-1125 AD), Jin (1115-1234 AD), and Yuan (1271-1368 AD) dynasties built walls north of the Great Wall in Inner Mongolia and Mongolia.
