Detailed explanation-1: -Perhaps the most recognizable symbol of China and its long and vivid history, the Great Wall was originally conceived by Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the third century B.C. as a means of preventing incursions from barbarian nomads.
Detailed explanation-2: -Shihuangdi was emperor of the Qin dynasty (221–210 BCE) and the creator of the first unified Chinese empire. He is also known for his interest in immortality, his huge funerary compound that contains some 8, 000 life-sized terra-cotta soldiers, and for his contribution to the Great Wall of China.
