About the history of the Great Wall
The history of the Great Wall:

The history of building the Great Wall can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the famous allusion of the bonfire drama "The Emperor" in Haojiang, the capital city, originated from this. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, countries competed for hegemony and defended each other, and the construction of the Great Wall entered its first climax, but the construction length at this time was relatively short.

After Qin destroyed the six countries and unified the world, Qin Shihuang connected and repaired the Great Wall of the Warring States Period, which was called the Great Wall of Wan Li. The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty to overhaul the Great Wall, and most of the Great Wall seen by people today was built at this time.

Great Wall resources are mainly distributed in Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Shandong, Henan, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang and other provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.

Shaanxi Province is the province with the richest resources of the Great Wall in China, with a total length of 1838 km. According to the results of the national Great Wall resources survey conducted by cultural relics and surveying and mapping departments, the total length of the Great Wall in Ming Dynasty was 885 1.8km, and it was more than 1 1,000 km in Qin and Han Dynasties and its early period, and the total length was more than 2 1 1,000 km.

Extended data:

When the Badaling Great Wall was built, there was a serious drought. From spring to summer, not a drop of rain fell. The weather is hot, migrant workers' lips are chapped and their throats are smoking. But I still have to carry the stone bar to the mountain. If I walk slower, the supervisor will whip me.

Migrant workers fainted when they were carried, and even people rolled down the hillside with stones. One day at noon, everyone was holding Wowotou, so thirsty that no one could eat.

Just then, a girl from Tsing Yi came with a white bottle in her hand, saying that she was bringing water to her husband. She looked for it for days but couldn't find it. I guess her husband is gone.

She said that this bottle of water is for everyone to drink. Say that finish, put down the white bottle and left. Someone picked up the white bottle, opened the lid and drank.

People are thirsty and want to take a sip to moisten their throat, but once they drink it, they will swallow enough and pass it to the second person. Strange to say, when this group of people turned around, there was still water in the white bottle.

So he started the second round. The supervisor came before the second lap was finished. The head of the supervisor is also thirsty. He saw someone drinking water with a white bottle and went up to grab it. As soon as the man gave up, the supervisor accidentally hit him on the head and fell to the ground and broke it.

Everyone was surprised at first, and then surprised to find that there was a clear spring where the white bottle was broken. Only then did I know that it was the fairy who sent the water.

From then on, the migrant workers who built Badaling were no longer threatened by hunger and thirst. Because this spring is sent by the fairy, everyone calls it the fairy spring.
