长城
长城（ Great Wall ），又称万里长城，是中国古代的军事 防御工程，是一道高大、坚固而连绵不断的长垣，用以限 隔敌骑的行动。长城不是一道单纯孤立的城墙，而是以城 墙为主体，同大量的城、障、亭、标相结合的防御体系。 长城修筑的历史可上溯到西周时期，发生在首都镐京（今 陕西西安）的著名的典故“烽火戏诸侯”就源于此。春秋 战国时期列国争霸，互相防守，长城修筑进入第一个高潮 ，但此时修筑的长度都比较短。秦灭六国统一天下后，秦 始皇连接和修缮战国长城，始有万里长城之称 。 The Great Wall also known as the Great Wall, is an ancient Chinese military defense project.

The construction of the the Great Wall entered the first climax, but the length of the construction was relatively short at that time. After the unification of the six kingdoms, the first emperor of Qin connected and repaired the the Great Wall of the Warring States period.
