readx; Chapter 11 Chapter 11: The Great Wall, I'm coming
The Great Wall probably began to be built in the ninth century B.C., and was a military fortress for the Central Plains countries to stop the nomads in the north, and later Qin Shi Huang swept ** and connected the Great Wall of all the vassal states, which is the prototype of the Great Wall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe Badaling Great Wall I went to is the Ming Great Wall, which is one of the eight views of Juyongguan.
There are many kinds of origin of the name of the Badaling Great Wall, the most interesting saying is a homonym method: because of the mountains in this area, the terrain is steep, it is said that the Great Wall built here has to turn eight bends, over eight large mountains, the construction of this section of the Great Wall was very difficult, the construction period was delayed, and there were eight overseers who died for it. Finally, through the ignition of the immortals, the "Eight Methods of Repairing the City" were adopted, that is, "the tiger with the halter head and the sheep on the saddle, the swallow with the mud monkey on the shoulder, the turtle and the stone rabbit to guide the way, and the magpie to build the bridge and ice to pave the stack", before transporting the building materials to the mountain. Therefore, people called this section of the Great Wall "Badaling Great Wall", and later the place name was homophonic to "Badaling". The second is the explanation in "Chang'an Hakka": "The road is divided from now on, extending in all directions." Because Badaling is the outer mouth of Juyong Pass, north to Yanqing Chicheng Mongolia, west to Zhangjiakou Huailai Xuanhua Datong, east to Yongning Sihai, south to Changping Beijing and other areas, it can be said that it extends in all directions, so it is an important traffic artery and defense outpost in ancient times, known as "the first barrier in northern Beijing". I'm so shameless, I actually went to ask Du Niang...
I took a car from Desheng Gate, after 12 o'clock at noon, there was no more, set off at 8 o'clock in the morning, and arrived at 10 o'clock in Badaling, and then I followed the pace of tourists, and at the mouth of a ridge I saw the ** comrade writing 'not to the Great Wall is not a hero', seven vigorous and vigorous characters, and once again saw the calligraphy of Grandpa Mao, and the impression was more profound is the 'service to the people' of Xinhuamen. To tell you about Xinhua Gate, you may have a vague impression, every day to say that Xinhua Gate is that, it is not far next to **, it should be at the west side of the door is facing the Great Hall of the People. It is the main gate of Zhongnanhai, but party and state leaders generally do not come and go from anywhere. I approached because of curiosity, and less than ten meters from the door, a number of plainclothes people came over, two of them were plainclothes, and a policeman directly asked me to stop. It scared the hell out of me. At the time, it was just an attraction. It's just that it's the armed police and the police who charge the tickets!
climbed the Great Wall, it cost a sledgehammer forty-five yuan, but the sledgehammer feels worthy, it's not a matter of money, it's like you went to Yichun Courtyard and you didn't see Wei Chunhua, you have to spend it. And you stand on the Great Wall, those old and ancient city bricks, stones, and battlements, as if they suddenly pulled you to the ancient battlefield. Feel how tragic the war in the era of cold weapons was. The walls fell, and human flesh filled in. The Great Wall will never fall, and the sons and daughters of China will always stand tall in the strong forests of the world's nations, which is the root and soul of the Chinese culture. As the national anthem sings, we use our flesh and blood to build a new Great Wall. Every Chinese son and daughter has a Great Wall in their hearts, doesn't it?
Standing on the beacon tower and looking at the lush greenery of the mountains and rivers in the distance, you can't imagine that this is still the imperial capital shrouded in haze and sandstorms, the imperial capital that is congested with traffic all day long, and the imperial capital that is full of traffic all day long. I am receiving the baptism of the soul, this is tourism. Change the environment to relieve the oppressive life in the city. I hope you can too!
