  Ladies and Gentlemen:

  We will visit the symbol of Chinas civilization-the Great Wall. It is oneof the famous, grand and splendid ancient construction wonders in the world. Itis just like a giant dragon in the northern part of China.

  Construction of the Great Wall first began in the seventh century BC. Atthat time it was also called Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. The firstwall that appeared in China was built by Kingdom Qi and Kingdom Chu. At thattime, the kingdoms in order to defend themselves against the infringing enemyfrom own territories for self-protection. These high walls were the primitivetype of the present day Great Wall.

  In Chinese history, large-scale construction of the Great Wall wasconcentrated in three dynasties, they are Qin, Han and Ming dynasties.

  In 221BC, Qin Shihuang unified China; he decided to link up all theseparated high walls built by different kingdoms into the Great Wall. The QinGreat Wall started from Lintao, Gansu Province in the west and ended inLiaodong, Liaoning Province in the east, over 500 kilometers long.

  The second large-scale construction on the Great Wall was carried outduring the Han Dynasty. Apart from maintaining and utilizing the Qin Great Wall,they built an outer Great Wall about 500 kilometers to the north of the QinGreat Wall in order to ward off the Huns. They also had the Great Wall ectendedtowards the west for another 5000 kilometers long. The Han Great Wall startedfrom Liaodong in the east to the Lop Nur Lake in Xinjiang Uygur AutonomousRegion, with a total length of 10,000 kilometers.

  The last large-scale project on the Great wall was carried out in the MingDynasty. That is because the dethroned Mongol Yuan ruler still had the remnantforces and often made counterattack to Beijing, as well as the threats of newlyraised ethnic tribe of “Nv Zhen”。 So started from the first year after ZhuYuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty. The whole project took more than 200years to complete. The total lenth of the Ming Great Wall was more than 6,000kilometers from Yalu River in Liaoning Province in the east to Jiayuguan Pass inGansu Province in the west. It passes nine cities, provinces and autonomousregions of Liaoning, Hebei, Tianjin, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Ningxia andGansu.

  The Great Wall, we see today, in Beijing is mainly the Ming Grest Wall.There was a 20-kilometer long valley named “Nankou, Juyongguan, Shangguan andBadaling”。 Juyongguan Pass was one of the important passes along the valley, andalso one of the most famous passes of the Great Wall. The name “Juyong” inChinese means “a place of poor laborers”。

  Today we will visit the Badaling Great Wall, it is about 75 kilometersnorthwest of Beijing, and it is the best-preserved part of the Great Wall. Badameans in English “convenient transportation to all directions”。 It used to bemore important than Juyong Pass in the defence of Beijing. The Badaling GreatWall averages 7.8 meters high, 6.5meters wide at its base, and 5.8 meters wideon the top, wide enough for five horses or ten soldiers walking abreast on thewall.

  The highest point at Badaling is about 800-1,000 meters above the sealevel. Here at Badaling section is with single side battlements while theparapet is on the other side. The outer of the wall is topped with crenellatedbattlements, which is about 2 meters high and with a square sized hole below forshouting arrows and also for keeping a watch over the enemy, while the parapetsabout 1 meter high is on the inner side.

  Buildings on both sides of the wall at the commanding points, the top ofthe mountains or the turns are beacon towers. The beacon towers were used formakong signal of warning messages when the enemy was sighted. Fires were lit onthe top of the beacon towers at night and the smoke signals in daytime. And thenumber of the fire and smoke signals could signify the number of invadingenemies.

  The watch-towers are lovated at regular intervals on the Great Wall forwatching over the invading enemy, and it is usually of two stories. The groundfloor was used to store weapons and had a number of window for archers. Theupper floor has battlements, peep-holes and appertures for archers.

  Today the Great Wall has lost its signifivance in defending the enemy, butin ancient times the Great Wall was not noly a strong defensive project but alsoplayed a very important role in military, economy and served as a link inpromoting harmonious relationship among the nationalities for the whole country.Today, the Great Wall has become a famous tourist attraction in the world.
