There are seven wonders in the world since ancient times: the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Colossus of the Sun God of Rhode Island, the Statue of Olympian Zeus, the Temple of Artemis, the Mausoleum of Mossolas and the Pyramids of Egypt. Of the seven wonders, 3 were built for God by religious influence, 3 by personal will, and only the city of Alexandria Lighthouse was built for the actual life of the people without any religious overtones.
In addition to these seven miracles, there is another miracle, that is, the Great Wall. The construction of the Great Wall is not for the worship of the gods, not for the personal pleasure of the king, its role is to simply defend, defend the land, defend the people, and defend the country.
The construction of the Great Wall is well documented to have been built during the Western Zhou Dynasty, from the Spring and Autumn Warring States to the Qing Dynasty, which has not been interrupted for more than 2,000 years.
Understanding the culture of a nation, the group ideology and group identity of a nation, in addition to the literary and artistic works recognized by the nation and the folklore convention, architecture is a vivid and concrete carrier. The same people have different styles in different periods, and there are inextricable links between these different styles. Similarly, the same period of architecture, the same culture, because of the different forms of expression, there will be different buildings. Through these buildings, you can intuitively feel the inheritance of national culture and the formation of national quality. The defensive role embodied in the Great Wall shows the character of the Chinese nation, which is the national character of pursuing peace and loving peace.
However, the pursuit of peace and peace-loving does not mean that people will be attacked and oppressed, and repairing the Great Wall does not mean that there will be no counterattack, and it does not mean that they will be passively beaten. At that time, the Great Wall also played a border effect, representing the bottom line of the Chinese nation, solid, solid, and uncompromising, and if you dare to touch the bottom line, you will definitely fight back. The Chinese nation is a nation that is good at communication, and building the Great Wall is not to close itself, but to better foreign exchanges, to use the Great Wall as a rear base, to go out better, to go farther, and to go better. We do not lack the spirit of "wearing golden armor in a hundred battles in the yellow sand, not breaking the loulan and never returning it", and also have the consciousness of "a flower alone is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in the spring and fill the garden".
Throughout history, the development of the Chinese nation has always had a very strong centripetal force, not plundering externally, seeking development at home, has always been to explore their own capabilities, explore their own potential, carry forward their own creativity, take the peaceful environment as the premise, develop together with the neighbors, and advance together. It is believed that even in today's changing times, the Chinese nation can become a more prosperous and powerful country by virtue of the uniqueness of its own culture and the group yearning for peaceful development formed by the accumulation of long history.
