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: -The Great Wall of China was built over centuries by China’s emperors to protect their territory. Today, it stretches for thousands of miles along China’s historic northern border.
Detailed explanation-3: -The wall was built to help keep out northern invaders like the Mongols. Smaller walls had been built over the years, but the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, decided that he wanted a single giant wall to protect his northern borders.
Detailed explanation-4: -He did this to symbolize that China was now one empire, under his authority, and therefore no city needed to defend itself against the others. Qin Shi Huangdi then ordered the construction of a massive wall along the empire’s northern border to protect China from its only threat-nomadic warriors from Mongolia.
