8,000 kilometers of "amulet", guarding the 8,000 years of Chinese civilization history! Uncover the most dangerous Great Wall defense line, Jinshanling!
As an agrarian nation, we are self-sufficient, well-fed, and have created a brilliant civilization of 8,000 years. Chinese civilization, sitting in the middle of the world, is often burned and looted from the north, northwest and northeast!
These greedy, barbaric, cruel, backward races do not work themselves, do not invent and create, but only rob and kill. From Hu, Di, Rouran, Xiongnu, Khitan, Jin, Turkic, Rong, Xianbei, to Yuanmeng, Manchu Qing, Tsarist Russia, and Japan, the bandits are in the same vein, but the means have changed, more ferocious, more cunning!
As a talisman for the protection of Chinese civilization, the Great Wall came into being. Many of the attractions we visit today were built during the Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall is no exception.
The Ming Great Wall, the longest time-consuming in China's history, the largest project, the most complete defense system and structure of the national defense fortifications, she from Liaoning Dandong Yalu River in the east, Hushan Mountain, west through Juyongguan, to Gansu Jiayuguan, winding defense line up to more than 8,000 kilometers.
The garrison of the Great Wall reached more than 600,000 people at its peak. It is precisely because of their border plugs that they guard the tranquility of the Central Plains, provide security for the four major inventions, and provide a security guarantee for the progress of various agricultural and handicraft sciences and technology.
Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Great Wall was an insurmountable "heavenly graben" for northern invaders. After Jin, without Wu Sangui leading the way, it was difficult to cross the Great Wall defense line every time. After a short climb over the pass, it is difficult to stand for a long time.
The most dangerous section of the Jinshanling Mountain between the Wuling Mountain and the Wohuling section of the Great Wall is the Jinshanling Great Wall.
The Jinshanling Great Wall, built in the first year of Ming Hongwu (1368 AD), was built under the auspices of the general Xu Da. In the first year of Ming Longqing (1567 AD), Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Jizhen, and Tan Lun, the governor of Jiliao, came forward, and the two of them carried out expansion and repair on the basis of Xu Da's construction.
Jinshanling has three uniques: barrier walls, text bricks and horse retaining stones. Here, it is "photographer's paradise".
In the thirtieth year of the Qing Dynasty, a general soldier stationed here at that time suggested to the emperor that the Great Wall should be rebuilt to prevent the invasion of Tsarist Russia. Of course, as a foreign emperor, he himself broke through the Great Wall defense line into the Central Plains, and Kangxi vetoed this proposal. And the name is beautiful: I do not build the Great Wall, cultivate the people's hearts.
The Jinshanling Great Wall, which can be described as indestructible, stood still in the 8-magnitude earthquake of Kangxi in 18 years and stood for hundreds of years without falling.
More than 400 years have passed, it has been tempered by war, withstood the baptism of artillery fire again and again, and become the sustenance of Chinese civilization and the seed of Chinese rejuvenation. (Photo/Report cheng Yuefeng)
