Text reads The Mysteries of Life with Tim and Moby Tim is sitting on his living room couch reading a book when a crumpled paper ball hits him in the head. TIM What the? Tim tosses the paper ball back at Moby who is shielding himself with a pillow. The paper hits Moby's head. MOBY Beep. Tim reads from a typed letter. TIM Dear Tim and Moby, What was the purpose of the Great Wall of China? From, Oren. The Great Wall of China was built mainly to defend against invaders from the north. An image shows the Great Wall of China stretching into the distance. MOBY Beep? TIM Well sure, a person could climb the wall. But China was more worried about nomadic, or wandering, tribes who traveled on horseback. An animation shows a woman walking with two men on horseback. TIM Reaching up to nine meters high, it would be almost impossible to get a horse across the wall. An image shows a man trying to get a horse to climb a ladder propped up against a wall. MOBY Beep? TIM Well, the wall was built in sections during different periods in Chinese history, starting in the third century BCE. Sections would be built independently, connecting the rest of the wall system as it grew. The original wall was nowhere near as long, high, or well-built as what we see today. An animation shows sections of the wall joining together to create the Great Wall. TIM They just kept improving on it, and adding to it as the centuries went by. A map of China shows how the Great Wall spread from the middle of the country to the east. TIM With all of its branches, the Great Wall today extends over 6,400 kilometers through all kids of terrain, including mountains and deserts. It's one of the most amazing constructions in human history. An image shows the Great Wall spreading over a mountainous terrain. TIM Most of what we see today was built during the Ming dynasty, from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. An image shows bricklayers constructing the Great Wall. TIM That was the fifth and last major period of construction. These are the most sophisticated sections of the Great Wall, made mainly of bricks, limestone, and granite. But builders had to use whatever materials were nearby, so some parts of it were just made of dirt and wood. Side by side images show dirt and wood. MOBY Beep? TIM Yeah, for a long time it worked as a national defense. Watchtowers are built at regular intervals into the wall. An image shows tall watchtowers evenly spaced out along the wall. TIM These allowed the armies manning the walls to spot invaders from a distance, and give them a place to retreat if they needed. An image shows a guard viewing invaders from a watchtower. TIM Large gates, or passes, are built into the wall at areas of strategic importance. An animation shows a gate opening in the wall. TIM And in the more sophisticated sections, the wall is wide enough for entire armies to walk along it. An animation shows an army walking along the wall. TIM Inside the wall, complicated systems of stairways would confuse anyone who wasn't familiar with them. MOBY Beep? TIM Well, in the seventeenth century, China was invaded and taken over by a nomadic group called the Manchus. Once they had control, the need for the wall didn't really exist anymore. An image shows Manchurian soldiers in front of the wall. The wall disappears behind them. TIM There was no one else to keep out. So the construction of the wall stopped. Moby carries a globe and places it on a pile of furniture and other household items to make a barricade in the living room. Tim knocks on the barricade. MOBY Beep. TIM Ah, hey. Hey, I need to get through. MOBY Beep? TIM I don't know the password. Come on, I have to go to the bathroom.

China Precious bodily fluidsThe Chinese public stands to lose most from the regulationsA TEAM OF Chinese-led scientists made international headlines in May with newly published research that showed a surprising result. The Ice Age humans who crossed what is now the Bering Strait and populated North America had origins not only in Siberia, as previously known, but also in coastal China. The work of the team, which included Italian researchers, involved the collection and analysis of 100,000 genetic samples covering modern populations from nearly all of Eurasia, and more than 15,000 ancient to this story.

But it is also the kind of work that has become increasingly hard to do in China, or in co-operation with Chinese scientists. In recent years the country has, for the most part, tightened its regulations on the sharing of “human genetic resources” hgr with foreign entities. China’s rules, updated on June 1st, cover not only organs, tissue and bodily fluids but also data based on such material. Permission must be obtained through a byzantine application process before any export abroad or any sharing with foreign-controlled entities within China. Dr Yu-Chun Li, the lead author of the study on Ice Age migration, says the required approvals did not take long and the rules did not impede her team’s research. But many other scientists, Chinese and foreign, say they are having a harder regulatory regime imposes a heavy burden on multinational pharmaceutical firms and stifles international collaboration on biomedical research. Foreign companies conducting clinical trials in China have had to recruit dedicated hgr compliance teams in order to keep from running afoul of the rules. Violations can lead to both administrative and criminal punishment. “It creates this chilling effect,” says a person in the drug have been no publicised cases of criminal penalties since the earliest regulations were introduced in 1998. But numerous entities have been disciplined, ranging from AstraZeneca, a global pharmaceutical giant, to Huashan Hospital in Shanghai, one of China’s most prestigious. Many governments regulate the collection and use of genetic data and material, mainly out of concern for standards of informed consent and patient privacy. “But China takes it to the extreme. They view it as a very valuable resource,” says Lester Ross of WilmerHale, a law updates do loosen restrictions in some areas. Katherine Wang of Ropes & Gray, another law firm, sees the simplification of review and approval procedures as a positive development. Clinical information, medical imaging and metabolic data, previously regulated as HGR data, now fall outside the government’s definition. The state has also clarified its definition of a “foreign entity”, which had been some of those affected by the rules are disappointed that the science ministry remains in charge of enforcing them. Many expected the updates to shift responsibility to the national health authority, which, it was hoped, would be more sensitive to the needs of researchers. The new rules also strengthen the link between the HGR regime and national-security laws. Rao Yi of Peking University believes the impulse to restrict the sharing of genetic resources arose decades ago among people who did not understand the science and believed genetic material could be used to design bioweapons targeted at Chinese people. But it is the Chinese public that stands to lose from the dearth of Chinese samples made available to scientists elsewhere. Nearly 90% of the data used for worldwide genetic research comes from sources in the West, notes Mr Rao, meaning most studies focus on disease-associated mutations in those years Xi Jinping, China’s leader, has made reference to what he calls “the red gene”. This metaphorical bit of revolutionary dna, he has said, can be passed from generation to generation and “penetrate into the blood” of the Chinese masses. When it comes to the real-world genetic material of China’s people, his government seems to hold similarly strong views about where it may or may not be passed.

President Xi Jinping has called on China's border troops to forge a "great wall of steel" along the country's frontiers by enhancing their capabilities in border defence and control, the state media reported Friday. Xi, 69, who heads the ruling Communist Party of China CPC and the country’s Central Military Commission CMC, the high command of the People’s Liberation Army PLA, made a fact-finding trip on Wednesday to survey the work of border management and control and the development of frontier troops in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The Chinese president asked troops to break new ground in border defence, state-run Xinhua news agency reported on Friday. Xi has called on Chinese border troops to enhance their capabilities in border defence and control to forge a "great wall of steel" along the country's borders, it said. Unlike his predecessors, Xi, who came into power in 2012, has regularly visited troops in various border regions, including Tibet. In 2021, he made a rare visit to Nyingchi, a strategically located border town close to Arunachal Pradesh, during his first visit to Tibet. While visiting the Inner Mongolia military command of the PLA, Xi emphasised the importance of ensuring integrity and a high degree of unity among the border troops. Highlighting cooperation among the ruling Communist Party of China CPC and government departments, the military, law enforcement agencies, as well as the ordinary people in border defence as China's unique strength, Xi called for joint efforts from all parties to break new ground in defending the country's borders. He called for additional efforts to intensify troop training and enhance combat preparedness, and speed up capacity building concerning information technology-enabled border defence and control. He also called for efforts to transform how border defence duties are performed, tighten military discipline, maintain good troop order, and foster more border defence professionals. Xi commended the role of the region's border troops in ensuring security and stability on the country's northern border. Praising China's progress in border defence work since he came to power in 2012, Xi said the country's border troops have boosted military training and combat preparedness and resolutely safeguarded border security and the stability in regions along the frontiers. He added that the troops have effectively safeguarded China's sovereignty, security, and development interest. Stressing the importance of border defence in ensuring national stability and governance, Xi called on the border troops to have a stronger sense of mission and responsibility and guard the borders diligently for the ruling Communist Party and the people. Xi underscored the need for continuous efforts to enhance cohesion and forge the soul of the border troops with the CPC's new theories, as well as to improve their education on political discipline, discipline regarding the public and affairs related to foreigners, and policies on ethnic and religious affairs. Xi has been placing more emphasis on ramping up security and increasing the combat levels of the troops ever since he was re-elected as head of the CPC for an unprecedented third time last year. He is the only leader after the party founder Mao Zedong to continue in power for more than two five-year terms. Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by The Telegraph Online staff and has been published from a syndicated feed.
Padateks disebutkan The Great Wall of China is the largest and the longest wall to have ever built by humans.

Find out more purposes for building the Great Wall >>> History of the Great Wall of China The Great Wall of China has a history of more than 2,300 years. The Great Wall of China’s history began in the Spring and Autumn Period 770–476 BC and was last rebuilt as a defense in the Ming Dynasty 1368–1644. Early Walls 770-221 BC During the Spring and Autumn Period 770–476 BC and the Warring States Period 475–221 BC when the eastern and central region of what is now China consisted of many small states or princedoms, the princes ordered independent walls be built along state borders to protect their states. The earliest was probably built between the states of Lu and Qi around 650 BC, which later became part of the Chu State Wall. The Qin Dynasty 221–206 BC Qin Shihuang king of the State of Qin from 247–221 BC conquered and unified the other states. Emperor Qin Shihuang ordered that the northern sections of walls on state borders, especially the walls in the northern part of China built by the states of Qin, Zhao, and Yan, be joined together to form a unified line of defense against Mongol harassment from the north, the first true Great Wall. Other state border walls became obsolete in a unified China and were subsequently eroded or dismantled. The Han Dynasty 206 BC – 220 AD The northern fortifications were strengthened and lengthened, with sections of wall running parallel for hundreds of kilometers and interlinking along the Inner Mongolian border. The Han Dynasty Great Wall from the North Korean coast near Pyongyang in the east to Jade Gate Pass Yumenguan in the west was the longest the Great Wall has ever been at more than 8,000 km 5,000 miles. The total length included many branching walls, natural barriers, and trenches. The Yuan Dynasty 1271–1368 The Yuan Dynasty was the first dynasty in which the whole of China was controlled by a non-Han people, the Mongols. The Great Wall had done a good job of preserving Han China for 1,500 years. The building of the Great Wall, not surprisingly, ceased during the Yuan Dynasty, as China and Mongolia to the north were one. The Ming Dynasty 1368–1644 China flourished during the Ming Dynasty and its military might swelled. The Great Wall was systematically rebuilt in a 100-year project to prevent further northern invasion. Most of the remaining Great Wall was built in the Ming Dynasty and is known as the Ming Great Wall. The Great Wall sections close to Beijing like the Badaling section and Mutianyu section were built during the Ming Dynasty. Post-Ming History 1644–present A breach in the Great Wall at Shanhai Pass in 1644 by Manchu forces signaled the end of Han control in China for the last and final Chinese dynasty, the Qing Dynasty 1644–1911. It also signaled the end of construction and maintenance of the Great Wall, until the Badaling section was restored by the government of the Peoples' Republic of China, and opened to the public in 1957 as a tourist attraction.

It was an integrated military defensive system with watchtowers for surveillance, fortresses for command posts and logistics, beacon towers for communications, etc. In the Ming Dynasty 1368–1644, the Great Wall was reconstructed to be stronger and more sophisticated, due to better construction techniques being developed. A watchtower at the Great Wall The wall body The Ming Great Wall usually had battlements meters 6 feet high with loopholes and crenels, and parapet walls meters 4 feet high. Flanking towers Every 500 meters or less 1,640 feet on the Great Wall there was a flanking tower allowing defenders to shoot arrows at attackers at the face of the wall. Fortresses were built at important/vulnerable access points passes, such as Shanhai Pass Fortress, Juyong Pass Fortress, and Jiayu Pass Fortress. There were many archery windows and gates on the forts. The fortress gatehouses were the strongest and most impregnable structures on the Great Wall.

TheGreat Wall, or Chang Cheng in Chinese, is massive. It begins in the east at the Yellow Sea, travels near China's capital, Beijing, and continues west through numerous provinces. For thousands of miles, it winds like a snake through China's varied terrain. Smaller walls extend from the main wall.

One of the largest building-construction projects ever carried out, it runs with all its branches about 4,500 mi 7,300 km east to west from the Bo Hai Gulf of Chihli to a point deep in Central Asia. Large parts of the fortification date from the 7th to the 4th century bce. In the 3rd century bce the emperor Shihuangdi connected existing defensive walls into a single system fortified by watchtowers. These served both to guard the rampart and to communicate with the capital, Xianyang near modern Xi’an by signal—smoke by day and fire by night. Originally constructed partly of masonry and earth, it was faced with brick in its eastern portion. It was rebuilt in later times, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries. The basic wall is about 23–26 ft 7–8 m high; at intervals towers rise above it to varying heights. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987. Related Article Summaries

The Great Wall of China is an ancient series of walls and fortifications, totaling more than 13,000 miles in length, located in northern China. 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 as a means of preventing incursions from barbarian nomads. The best-known and best-preserved section of the Great Wall was built in the 14th through 17th centuries during the Ming dynasty. Though the Great Wall never effectively prevented invaders from entering China, it came to function as a powerful symbol of Chinese civilization’s enduring Dynasty Construction Though the beginning of the Great Wall of China can be traced to the fifth century many of the fortifications included in the wall date from hundreds of years earlier, when China was divided into a number of individual kingdoms during the so-called Warring States Period. Around 220 Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China under the Qin Dynasty, ordered that earlier fortifications between states be removed and a number of existing walls along the northern border be joined into a single system that would extend for more than 10,000 li a li is about one-third of a mile and protect China against attacks from the of the “Wan Li Chang Cheng,” or 10,000-Li-Long Wall, was one of the most ambitious building projects ever undertaken by any civilization. The famous Chinese general Meng Tian initially directed the project, and was said to have used a massive army of soldiers, convicts and commoners as workers. Made mostly of earth and stone, the wall stretched from the China Sea port of Shanhaiguan over 3,000 miles west into Gansu province. In some strategic areas, sections of the wall overlapped for maximum security including the Badaling stretch, north of Beijing, that was later restored during the Ming Dynasty. From a base of 15 to 50 feet, the Great Wall rose some 15-30 feet high and was topped by ramparts 12 feet or higher; guard towers were distributed at intervals along you know? When Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered construction of the Great Wall around 221 the labor force that built the wall was made up largely of soldiers and convicts. It is said that as many as 400,000 people died during the wall's construction; many of these workers were buried within the wall Wall of China Through the Centuries With the death of Qin Shi Huang and the fall of the Qin Dynasty, much of the Great Wall fell into disrepair. After the fall of the later Han Dynasty, a series of frontier tribes seized control in northern China. The most powerful of these was the Northern Wei Dynasty, which repaired and extended the existing wall to defend against attacks from other tribes. The Bei Qi kingdom 550–577 built or repaired more than 900 miles of wall, and the short-lived but effective Sui Dynasty 581–618 repaired and extended the Great Wall of China a number of the fall of the Sui and the rise of the Tang Dynasty, the Great Wall lost its importance as a fortification, as China had defeated the Tujue tribe to the north and expanded past the original frontier protected by the wall. During the Song Dynasty, the Chinese were forced to withdraw under threat from the Liao and Jin peoples to the north, who took over many areas on both sides of the Great Wall. The powerful Yuan Mongol Dynasty 1206-1368, established by Genghis Khan, eventually controlled all of China, parts of Asia and sections of Europe. Though the Great Wall held little importance for the Mongols as a military fortification, soldiers were assigned to man the wall in order to protect merchants and caravans traveling along the lucrative Silk Road trade routes established during this Building During the Ming Dynasty Despite its long history, the Great Wall of China as it is exists today was constructed mainly during the mighty Ming Dynasty 1368-1644. Like the Mongols, the early Ming rulers had little interest in building border fortifications, and wall building was limited before the late 15th century. In 1421, the Ming emperor Yongle proclaimed China’s new capital, Beijing, on the site of the former Mongol city of Dadu. Under the strong hand of the Ming rulers, Chinese culture flourished, and the period saw an immense amount of construction in addition to the Great Wall, including bridges, temples and pagodas. The construction of the Great Wall as it is known today began around 1474. After an initial phase of territorial expansion, Ming rulers took a largely defensive stance, and their reformation and extension of the Great Wall was key to this Ming wall extended from the Yalu River in Liaoning Province to the eastern bank of the Taolai River in Gansu Province, and winded its way from east to west through today’s Liaoning, Hebei, Tianjin, Beijing, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia and west of Juyong Pass, the Great Wall was split into south and north lines, respectively named the Inner and Outer Walls. Strategic “passes” fortresses and gates were placed along the wall; the Juyong, Daoma and Zijing passes, closest to Beijing, were named the Three Inner Passes, while further west were Yanmen, Ningwu and Piantou, the Three Outer Passes. All six passes were heavily garrisoned during the Ming period and considered vital to the defense of the of the Great Wall of China In the mid-17th century, the Manchus from central and southern Manchuria broke through the Great Wall and encroached on Beijing, eventually forcing the fall of the Ming Dynasty and beginning of the Qing Dynasty. Between the 18th and 20th centuries, the Great Wall emerged as the most common emblem of China for the Western world, and a symbol both physical—as a manifestation of Chinese strength—and a psychological representation of the barrier maintained by the Chinese state to repel foreign influences and exert control over its the Great Wall is generally recognized as one of the most impressive architectural feats in human history. In 1987, UNESCO designated the Great Wall a World Heritage site, and a popular claim emerged in the 20th century that it is the only manmade structure visible from space NASA has since refuted this claim. Over the years, roadways have been cut through the wall in various points, and many sections have deteriorated after centuries of neglect. The best-known section of the Great Wall of China—Badaling, located 43 miles 70 km northwest of Beijing—was rebuilt in the late 1950s, and attracts thousands of national and foreign tourists every day.
