风景掠影-The Great Wall

Great Wall of China, China
One of the seven wonders of the world, the Great Wall of China is a man-made structure that was constructed over two thousand years ago and took about 100 years to complete. The vastness of this project brings to light the immense capabilities of man.
中国 长城
作为世界的七大奇迹之一，中国的长城是人造的建筑，建于2000年以前，耗时100多年才竣工。这一工程规模的巨大让人相信人类力量的伟大。

The constructions started in the 5th Century B.C. It is actually many walls put together and stretches over 4,000 miles and was constructed to protect the Chinese Empire from the Xiongnu people in the north. The wall was initially built of stone, grass, earth and wood, but bricks were used once the production started. It is believed that about 2-3 million Chinese died as part of this project.
该建筑始于公元前五世纪。实际上，长城是由许多的墙组成的一个整体，延绵4000多余里。建造长城是为了防止北方匈奴对帝国的骚扰。开始时，城墙是由石头、牧草、泥土、木头建造的，而砖块是从一开始就用上了。人们相信，大约两到三百万人建造这一工程中死去。

小编心语：
俗话说，”不到长城非好汉”，长城，这座屹立于祖国大地上的长龙，凝聚着数代人的心血与寄托。当你迷醉于欧式古堡的建筑时，不要忘了，我们的长城，也一直张开的双臂，等待你的一个拥抱！
