The Great Wall is probably a place that can fascinate the whole world. "From the Spring and Autumn Period, through the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the Liaojin dynasty to the Yuanming, it has been more than two thousand years. How many generals, such as Shuai Yuanrong, Shu Shu Gong, and Hundred Workers Qianshou, went to great lengths to move the mountains and build this great project. "It spans 100,000 miles of time and space, crosses mountains and rivers through the plateau, like a meandering and endless dragon coiled among the mountains and mountains.
Located at the north entrance of the Guangou Ancient Road in Jundu Mountain, Yanqing County, Beijing, the Badaling Great Wall is not only the earliest section open to tourists, but also the Great Wall scenic spot that receives the most Chinese and foreign tourists. Many historical fragments, glorious and humiliating, are silently recorded here. In 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor fled in panic and fled to Badaling, Cixi ordered the team to stop, because after Badaling was outside, she wanted to take one last look at the Forbidden City. Cixi stood on the stone and looked back at the capital, standing for a long time, and the sadness suddenly appeared, and the "Wangjing Stone" was named from then on.
The ancient cannon displayed at the entrance to the city now looks dilapidated and backward, but in the Ming Dynasty it was a very powerful weapon. However, how could the emperors and generals at that time think that the most powerful weapon in the world would always win the hearts and minds of the people, not conquer by force.
Badaling built the Great Wall to go back to the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, when the Great Wall was built here to defend against the invasion of northern ethnic groups, and the remnants of the wall are still seen today. As for the Ming Dynasty, in order to strengthen the defense, the Ming Dynasty transferred Qi Jiguang to the north to command the construction of the Defense of the Great Wall, and after more than 80 years, it was built into a defense system that connected the city and the pass, the piers and forts facing each other, the heavy city guards, and the beacon alarm, which can be described as airtight. I think about it and feel a little sad. For thousands of years, the enemy has been in the north, defense, defense, construction of the Great Wall, did not expect that one day, the enemy came from the sea by boat, within a hundred years, China was invaded beyond recognition.
Climbing the Great Wall, looking far away, the Jundu Mountains on both sides are stacked with peaks, deep valleys and wide valleys, and the terrain is precarious, and the Badaling Great Wall is between these mountains. The city walls stretching for thousands of miles, as if the ambitions of ancient emperors to be strong and powerful, have completely blocked the two distinct civilizations. On one side is the agricultural civilization of Dun Hou gentle and gentle, and the cultivation of seedlings; on the other side is the nomadic civilization of rough and bold, spurring horses.
In the autumn depression, the Great Wall is lonely. He could not see the smoke of war, could not hear the hissing of the jingo iron horse, and lay silently between heaven and earth. The Great Wall, which has experienced a long period of vicissitudes, is full of pain behind its fame.
The sun hits the walls of the city, and every brick tells the history and carves time. Foreigners say that Chinese tourists love to graffiti and engrave everywhere, and on the bricks and stones of the Great Wall, we can also see the inscriptions of many foreigners. For Chinese, the sensory experience of the Great Wall is tragic, lonely, warm, and intimate. "Under the sky, above the earth, at the foot of the Great Wall is the hometown", the folk song that rings out slowly is Chinese unforgettable nostalgia.
Standing on the Great Wall, it is easy to distinguish between the inside and outside of the Pass. There are battlements on the outer wall of the Great Wall for defending the enemy, and the ancient soldiers observed the enemy situation under the outer wall of the Pass and shot the enemy through these battlements; while the inner side was only less than one meter high, the daughter wall, which is said to have not existed very early, because people often rolled off the cliff from the city wall, so it was built.
Looking at the Great Wall that stretches away, it is difficult not to lament the smallness of people. Emperors, soldiers, Li people, foreign tribes, killing and fighting for two thousand years, you sing me on the stage. Looking back now, the ashes have vanished, and everything has turned into a history of black and white, ren posterity commented.
People's feet walk on the road of the ancestors, and their thoughts return to the distant, familiar and unfamiliar ancient times. In the silence, the Great Wall tells the story of the battlefield battle wrapped in Ma Ge and the homesickness of the wanderer.
The war is gone, and the flames are extinguished. Nowadays, people walking on the Great Wall come from all over the world, with different skin colors and different languages. Unarmed and unarmed, they enjoyed the cultural exchanges of the peaceful years. This wall, which arose as a result of the war, once refused to conquer, but never stopped communicating.
