Weren't there buildings on the Great Wall? They are called enemy towers, and the guards and sentries are located there. The officials often carry whips to check the sentries, and when they find that the sentries of the enemy towers are asleep, they will be beaten with horse whips.
They are more afraid of falling asleep, the enemy touched up and did not know!
They were more afraid that they would fall asleep and the enemy wouldn't know it. Therefore, as soon as they arrived at the guard post, they complained to God: "God, bless me, don't let me fall asleep. If the enemy is coming, let me know."

Early one morning, the two swallows fly out of the gate, sunset, the female swallows fly back first, until the male swallows fly back, the door has been closed, can not enter the gate, and then sadly touched the wall and died, for which the female swallows grief, from time to time issued a "chirping" swallows, has been sadly singing to death.

Yumen Pass In ancient times, in Gansu, west of the small square city, there is a post called "horse rabbit", also known as "horse lost". Caravan from the frontier ü-Tep transport jade to the Central Plains have to pass through this place. The terrain here is very complex: swamps, gullies, forests, overgrown. Whenever the jade caravan catch the hot weather on the road, in order to avoid heatstroke during the day, always like to cool off at night to catch the road. Therefore, whenever the caravan went here, it was always dark, and it was hard to recognize the direction, even the old horses that often traveled to and from this road would be confused and hard to recognize the way, and the name "Horse Lost Road" was called up in this way. There is a specializing in jade and silk caravan, always running on this road, but also often in the "horse lost" lost their way. Once the caravan just entered the "Horse Lost Road" and got lost. People are anxious at the time, suddenly not far away from the fall of a lonely geese. A young man in the caravan quietly grabbed the geese, kind-hearted, he held it in his arms, ready to take out of the "horse lost" and then let go. A short while later, only to see the geese shed tears to the young man gurgling, said: "gurgle gurgle, give me food gurgle gurgle, can Taiwan Lost Road." The young man listened to the sudden realization, then immediately take the stage of their own dry food and water to let the geese eat a full.

I did not expect the next time the caravan in the "horse lost" lost, days can not find water, camel thirst gasping for breath, everyone dry mouth, thirsty and difficult to walk, life is at stake, is at this time, the geese flew again, and called in the sky: "the caravan is lost, the square plate with jade, do not give up the dark green jade by no means lead the way." The young man heard and hurriedly relayed to the boss, the boss panicked, busy asking the young man in the end what should be done to do, the young man said: "You quickly kneel down to the geese swore: 'must be set with jade, and will never go back on their word.'. ." The boss immediately according to the young man said, kneeling to the geese swear, the geese heard, rotating in the air for a moment, the caravan once again led out of the "horse lost", the caravan was saved. After arriving at the small square plate city, the boss no longer dare to love money, immediately picked the biggest and best piece of luminous dark green jade, set in the top of the building, whenever the night falls, this piece of jade will emit dazzling light, dozens of miles away from the circle to see clearly, the passing caravan has a goal, no longer lost. 4. Goat pack bricks Jiayuguan City, the wall is 9 meters high, but also in the wall above the construction of dozens of different sizes of buildings and numerous palisades, with a large number of bricks is very alarming, at that time, the construction conditions are very poor, there is no lifting equipment, all rely on manual handling. At that time, the construction conditions were very poor, there was no lifting equipment, all relied on manual transportation. The bricks used in the repair of Guancheng were burned in places 40 miles away. After the bricks were burned, they were pulled to the bottom of the city by oxcarts and then carried up by hand. Due to the high city, the only up and down the slope of the horse road, up and down is very difficult, although sent many people to the wall on the back of the brick, each exhausted, but back to the brick is still in short supply, the progress of the project has been seriously affected. One day, a goat herding children came here to play sheep, see this scene, a bright idea, take off the belt, the two ends of each bundle on a brick, hitched to the goat, and then, with a hand to clap the back of the goat, the body of the lightweight goat, pack brick a trot on the wall climbed. People watched and surprised and happy, have followed suit, a large number of bricks quickly transported on the city wall. 5. Legend of Jiayu Mountain A long time ago, from the Qilian Mountains flowing down the snow, constantly merging into the North River, which passes through the Hexi Corridor in the middle of the wilderness, watering the good land in that area, and nourish the people of all ethnic groups there. One day, a shepherd boy was herding sheep in the wilderness, head on a weird old man, carrying a bag of stone sand, asked him to go to the North River how to go, and said: "This North River was my home, and then a group of people robbed, I came to use the stone sand to block the North River." The shepherd boy was very angry after hearing this, and immediately said, "Don't say you use a bag of stone and sand, even if you move the big mountains in the north, you still don't want to divert the North River." The old man heard the gas explosion, immediately the bag of stone sand to the left and right withdrawn, suddenly, the wilderness protruded many hills and a big mountain, this big mountain is now Jiayu Mountain. It turned out that this strange old man is the turtle essence of the change, only to see him recite incantations, attempting to push down the Jiayu Mountain to block the North River, is at this time, suddenly windy, lightning and thunder, the Jade Emperor sent the God of Thunder to the old man struck dead. In the place where he died, immediately raised a mountain, the shape of a tortoise, which is now the "tortoise cover mountain". The Great Wall, also known as the Great Wall of China, is an ancient Chinese military defense project, a tall, solid and continuous wall used to limit the movement of the enemy. The Great Wall is not a mere isolated wall, but a defense system that combines a wall as the main body with a large number of cities, barriers, pavilions and markers. The history of the construction of the Great Wall can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, from which the famous story of "Beacon Fire Playing with the Lords and Lords" took place in the capital city of Haojing (present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi Province). During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the Great Wall was built as the first climax as the powers competed for supremacy and defended each other, but the length of the Great Wall at this time was relatively short. After Qin destroyed the six states and unified the world, Qin Shi Huang connected and repaired the Great Wall of the Warring States, which became known as the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles. The Great Wall resources are mainly distributed in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, including Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Shandong, Henan, Qinghai, Ningxia and Xinjiang. During the period, Shaanxi Province is the province with the richest resources of the Great Wall in China, with the length of the Great Wall within its territory amounting to 1,838 kilometers. According to the results of a nationwide survey of Great Wall resources conducted by the cultural relics and mapping departments, the total length of the Ming Great Wall is 8,851.8 kilometers, and the Qin-Han and early Great Walls exceed 10,000 kilometers, for a total length of more than 21,000 kilometers. On March 4, 1961, the Great Wall was announced by the State Council as one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. in December 1987, the Great Wall was listed as a World Heritage Site.

Legendary stories about the Great Wall
The story of the goat carrying the bricks and the story of the Wannian Gray and the Yenching City, among others. Jiayuguan City, the wall is 9 meters high, but also in the wall above the construction of dozens of different sizes of pavilions and numerous palisades, with a large number of bricks is very impressive, at that time, the construction conditions are very poor, there is no lifting equipment, all rely on manual handling. At that time, the construction conditions were very poor, there was no lifting equipment, all relied on manual transportation. The bricks used in the repair of Guancheng were burned in places 40 miles away. After the bricks were burned, they were pulled to the bottom of the city by oxcarts and then carried up by hand. Due to the high city, the only up and down the slope of the horse road, up and down is very difficult, although sent many people to the wall on the back of the brick, each exhausted, but back to the brick is still in short supply, the progress of the project has been seriously affected. One day, a goat herding children came here to play sheep, see this scene, a bright idea, take off the belt, the two ends of each bundle on a brick, hitched to the goat, and then, with a hand to clap the back of the goat, the body of the lightweight goat, pack brick a trot on the wall climbed. People watched and surprised and happy, have followed suit, a large number of bricks soon transported on the city wall. Wannian Gray and Yanjing City : People say that it was Qin Shi Huang who first built the Great Wall of China. In fact, he did not build the Great Wall in the beginning. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period before Qin Shi Huang, there was a king of Yan, who had a small country, few soldiers and horses, and was weak, and was in danger of being eaten by his neighbors at any time. In order to protect his country, the king of Yan requisitioned his people and built a high city wall on the top of the mountain at the border of his country to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies. Because lime was not yet available at that time, he built the city wall with stones and bricks plastered with mud. In order to rush the time and repair the wall as soon as possible, he ordered not to stop working even in winter. As it was cold, hot water was needed for mud plastering, so the soldiers carried a big iron pot to the construction site, supported it with three stones, and added firewood to boil water. Over time, the iron pot was burned a big hole, full of water leaked out of the pot; the fire under the pot doused. But the people also accidentally found that the water sprinkled on the stone supporting the pot, the hot stone encountered the water exploded, exploded many white noodles, the people look at, think, very strange. A man put this white flour with water and and, thinking that it was more moist than mud, and sticky, he smeared it on the stone and brick cracks. The next day, the people found that the stone and brick joints made with this white flour were much stronger than those made with mud. The people of Yan were inspired, and from then on, they burned lime to plaster the joints of the city walls. Later, Qin Shi Huang united China, in order to keep his throne as the emperor, he also followed the method of the king of Yan to build the Great Wall of China. When he started the construction, he issued a decree to let the original Yan people take over the lime burning work. Therefore, all the lime used in the construction of the Great Wall was burnt by Yan people. Wherever the Great Wall was built, lime was burnt on the hillside, and the quality of the burnt lime was so good that it was called "ten thousand years' lime", which means that it would not deteriorate for ten thousand years. After the construction of the Great Wall was finished, the other people went back to their respective places. Because the people of Yan had done a good job in burning ash, Emperor Qin Shi Huang plucked down gold and silver and built a town for the people of Yan Yuan, which is the present Beijing. Therefore, Beijing was called Yanjing, and the mountains where the Yan people burned the ashes were collectively called the Yanshan Mountains. The Great Wall, also known as the "Great Wall of China", is a collective name for the massive military projects built in different periods of time in ancient China to defend against the invasion of nomadic tribal alliances in the northern part of the country. The Great Wall was built during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and was first repaired by the King of Yan, with a history of more than 2,000 years. Today, the Great Wall refers to the Great Wall built during the Ming Dynasty, which stretches from the Yalu River in the east to the Jiayuguan Pass in the inland Gansu Province in the west. The State Administration of Cultural Heritage announced in 2012 that the total length of the Great Wall of China was 21,196.18 kilometers, distributed in 15 provinces and regions, including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, etc., and there are 43,721 sites of Great Wall heritage, including Great Wall walls, trenches, monolithic buildings, forts, passes and related facilities. Origin of the Great Wall During the Spring and Autumn and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the vassals of Yan and Zhao states defended themselves against the invasion of other countries. They built beacon towers and connected them with walls, forming the earliest Great Wall. The Great Wall has been strengthened and repaired by almost all the kings in the following generations. It is also known as the "Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles" because it is tens of thousands of miles long. According to records, Emperor Qin Shi Huang used nearly one million laborers to build the Great Wall, accounting for one twentieth of the country's total population at that time. At that time, there was no machinery, all the labor was done by human beings, and the working environment was very difficult because of the steep mountains and deep ravines. The Great Wall was built in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, with a history of more than 2,000 years, and the Great Wall referred to today mostly refers to the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty. In ancient and modern times and at home and abroad, anyone who has been to the Great Wall has marveled at its majesty, grandeur, arduous works and significance of prevention. It combines the wisdom, will, perseverance and endurance of the ancients. Therefore, the Great Wall is a rare treasure, but also the art of extraordinary cultural relics, which symbolizes the Chinese nation's impregnable and everlasting great will and strength, is the pride of the Chinese nation, but also the pride of the whole world. The Ming Dynasty built the "Inner" Great Wall and the "Inner Three Passes" Great Wall in addition to the "Outer" Great Wall. The "Inner" Great Wall was built on the basis of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and started from the west of Yiguan on the border of Inner Mongolia and Shanxi, and traveled eastward to Hebei through Yanmen Pass, Ping type passes, and then northeastward to Juyongguan through the source, Fangshan, and Changping counties, and then northward to eastward to Siguan in Huairou, which was connected to the "Outer" Great Wall, to be connected to the "Outer" Great Wall, which was built on the basis of the "Outer" Great Wall. The "outer" Great Wall, centered on Zijingguan, runs roughly in a north-south direction. The "Inner Three Passes" Great Wall runs parallel to the "Inner" Great Wall in many places, and in some places the two walls are only tens of miles apart. In addition, a large number of "heavy cities" were built. There are as many as 24 "heavy cities" around Yanmen Pass. According to historical documents, more than 20 vassal states and feudal dynasties have built the Great Wall, and if we add up the Great Walls built in different times, there are more than 100,000 miles. Among them, the length of the Great Wall built by Qin, Han and Ming dynasties exceeded 10,000 miles. There are remains of the ancient Great Wall and beacon towers in Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Henan, Shandong, Hubei, Hunan and other provinces, cities and autonomous regions of China. Warring States Period The Great Wall in northern China began during the Warring States Period with Qin, Zhao and Yan. Why Qin, Zhao and Yan built the Great Wall in the north starts from the situation during the Warring States period. During the Warring States period, it was a period of transition from a slave society to a feudal society in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and Yangtze River in China, and the tendency of unification became stronger and stronger as a result of the exchanges and fusions between the cultures of the Xia and Qin, Chu, Wu and Yue. At that time, the feudal reform of Wei, Zhao, Han, Chu, Qi, Qin, Yan seven countries after the strength of the annexation war, seeking to unify the Yellow River, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River by force. At this time, the ethnic minorities in northern Shaanxi, northern Jin, northern Hebei, and the Inner Mongolian steppe, mainly the Xiongnu, also became powerful and continued to plunder the northern borders of the three states of Qin, Zhao, and Yan. In the north of Qin, there were Yiqu and Xiongnu; in the northwest of Zhao, there were Linhu and Louxu, and in the north, there were Duanfang and Xiongnu; and in the northern border of Yan, there was Donghu. Since the middle of the Warring States period, they had continuously captured the northern regions of Qin, Zhao and Yan. Because they are good at riding and shooting, long field battle, take sudden attacks, come and go, difficult to catch, showing a very strong fighting force. On the other hand, the combat troops of Qin, Zhao and Yan in the middle of the Warring States period were mainly infantry and chariots, dressed in broadcloth and big-sleeved garments, and moved slowly, traveling 30 to 50 miles a day, so naturally they could not stop the attacks and captivation of the Xiongnu and Donghu. This not only put the lives and properties of the people in the northern part of the Three Kingdoms under serious threat and seriously damaged production, but also greatly affected the cause of unification of the Three Kingdoms. In response to this passive situation, the three countries successively carried out reforms of the military system and built the Great Wall in the north. Since Shang Yang started to change the law, Qin introduced a system that enriched the country and strengthened the army. The army was gradually changed into infantry and cavalry, and was rewarded and promoted on the basis of military merits, so the army became more powerful and invincible. In the sixth and tenth years of King Huiwen's reign (332 B.C.), the army defeated Wei and captured the western Henan County (present-day Luo River valley in Shaanxi) and Shang County (present-day northeastern Shaanxi) of Wei. In order to prevent the Xiongnu from plundering southward, King Zhao ordered the construction of the Great Wall on the northern borders of Longxi, Beidi, and Shangxian, and sent troops to guard them. In the 19th year of King Wu Ling's reign (307 BC), Zhao reformed the military system and practiced hu uniform riding and archery. Since then, the army became stronger. In the twentieth year, King Wuling went westward to visit Linhu, and when he arrived at Yuzhong, the king of Linhu offered his horse and surrendered before he returned. In the twenty-sixth year (300 BC), he broke Zhongshan, and made his way north to Yan and Dai (present-day northwestern Shanxi), and expanded his land northwest to Yunzhong and Jiuhuan (present-day Heringer County of Inner Mongolia and Wuga River area). Then, ordered the construction of the Great Wall, since the generation and Yinshan (present-day Inner Mongolia Daqing Mountain, Ulat Mountain) and the west, directly to the River (present-day Inner Mongolia Wuga River), and set up Daixian County, Yanmen, Yunzhong County, in order to prevent the Xiongnu southward captivity. In order to specialize in the northwestern part of the country, in the following year, he gave way to his son, King Huiwen He, and called himself the Lord Father. In the second year of King Huiwen's reign (297 BC), Lord Father went out of Dai and traveled to Xihe (present-day Yellow River between Shanxi and Inner Mongolia), where he broke the King of Louwu and caused his troops to die. Yan was the weakest of the Seven Kingdoms of the Warring States, bordered by Qi and Zhao to the south, and forced by East Hu to the north. It was only after King Zhaowang of Yan became the king (311 BC), who was furious with his power, recruited the wise and capable people from various countries and carried out reforms, that the state of Yan became strong and powerful. At that time, the East Hu was so powerful that it often plundered the northern part of Yan from the south. In order to maintain peace in the north, the king of Yan was forced to make peace with the king of Donghu, and took his general as a hostage. At the time of King Zhaowang, Qin Kai hostage in Donghu, he was both wise and brave, the king of Donghu trusted him, so he was free to move around, and was able to know the mountains and rivers in the southern part of Donghu, the situation of the defense, and the pattern of the army's activities. After returning to his country, he led his army to attack Donghu and broke it, and Donghu was defeated for more than a thousand miles. And "degree of Liaodong and attacked the Korean" to Rangers water (now the Korean Qingchuan River). So, "Yan also built the Great Wall, from Zuoyang (now Hebei Kangbao County and Inner Mongolia Taimusi Banner) to Xiangping; set Shanggu, Yuyang, right Beiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong County to reject Hu." To summarize, the reason why Qin, Zhao and Yan built the Great Wall in the north during the Warring States period was to defend against the plundering, killing and wounding of Xiongnu, Donghu and other peoples.

The sky is more and more gloomy, the wind is more and more violent, only to hear "clatter", a section of the Great Wall fell down, the following is Fan Xiliang's body 2, fixed brick fixed brick refers to placed in the Jiayuguan West Urn gate tower on the back of the eaves platform of a brick. Legend has it that during the Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty, there was a craftsman named Yi Kaizhan who repaired the pass and was proficient in the nine-nine algorithms, and all the buildings, as long as they were calculated by him, were very accurate and frugal in terms of labor and materials. Supervise the repair of the supervisor tube do not believe, to calculate the number of bricks Jiayuguan, Yi Kaizhan after detailed calculations, said: "Need 99,999 bricks." Supervisor tube according to the brick, and said: "if more than one or less than one, are to cut off your head, punished all the craftsmen labor for three years." After completion, only one brick remained, placed in the west urn gate tower on the rear gable. Supervisor of the tube found great joy, is trying to take this deduction Yi Kai Zhan and all the craftsmen's wages, but Yi Kai Zhan did not panic, said: "that brick is the gods put, is the fixed brick. If moved, the city building will collapse." Supervisor tube heard, do not dare to pursue. From then on, this brick has been placed in the same place, no one dares to move. Now, this brick is still retained in the Jiayuguan fortress above. 3, Ice Road transport stone In the beginning, the construction of Jiayuguan Pass City, the need for thousands of blocks of 2 meters long, 0.5 meters wide, 0.3 meters thick stone bars. Craftsmen in the Black Hills will be chiseled after the stone, but people can not lift, the car can not pull, and the mountains are too high and far away to be transported.
