介绍长城的简介英文版The Great Wall of China is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world and is widely regarded as one of the greatest architectural achievements in history. Stretching over 13,000 miles, the Great Wall was constructed over the course of several centuries and has stood as a symbol of China's strength and resilience.The construction of the Great Wall began as early as the 7th century BC, but the majority of the wall that stands today was built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The wall was originally built as a series of separate fortifications to protect against invading forces from the north, primarily the Mongols and other nomadic tribes. Over time, these separate fortifications were connected to form one continuous structure, creating the Great Wall that we are familiar with today.The wall itself is made of a variety of materials, including stone, brick, and packed earth. In some sections,the wall reaches heights of over 25 feet and is as wide as 30 feet, making it an imposing barrier for any would-be invaders. In addition to the wall itself, watchtowers, barracks, and other defensive structures were built along its length to enhance its defensive capabilities.While the primary function of the Great Wall was toprotect against invasion, it also served as a means of controlling trade and immigration. The wall was patrolled by guards and soldiers, and it had a series of signal towersthat could be used to communicate and coordinate defenses in the event of an attack. The wall also served as a symbol ofthe power and authority of the Chinese state, as well as a testament to the engineering and organizational skills of the people who built it.Today, the Great Wall is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world, drawing millions of visitors each year. While some sections of the wall have fallen into disrepair, many parts have been restored and are open to the public. Visitors can walk along the wall, admire the stunning scenery, and gain a greater appreciation for the immense scale and historical significance of this remarkable structure.In conclusion, the Great Wall of China is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the Chinese people. Its vast scale and enduring legacy continue to inspire awe and admiration from people around the world.。

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.Beautiful stories and legends about the Great Wallhelp to keep alive Chinese history and culture. In each dynasty after the building of the Great Wall, many more stories were created and spread.来源：无忧考网-英语资源 http://www.5。
