Page 3 - The Great Wall of China

Editor’s Note

The only historical structure can be seen from space. Yes,
I am talking about the Great wall of China. A Chinese-
American astronaut Leroy Chiao took a photograph
of the great wall from the International Space Station.

There is no personal right of any king or a dynasty on the
making of 21,196 km of the great wall. The first emperor
of unified China “Qin Shi Huang” ordered the making of
a great wall around 220 B.C. to protect China against
attacks from the north. After the Qin Dynasty, Bei Qi
Kingdom, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty,
Mongol be part of making this wall. Later the Ming
Dynasty play an important role in making the great wall.
The Great Wall of China as it exists today was constructed
mainly during the mighty Ming Dynasty around 1368-1644.

Besides the kings and dynasty, there are so many facts
are you have to know about this wall. We have tried to
put some important stories and facts related to this wall
in the magazine. And it’s true that ‘You have to give your
whole life to know about ‘The Great Wall’.

There are still many important points that have not been
included here or to say that it is not possible to explain
them in a limited number of pages.
