In ancient times, the Great Wall was used to resist foreign invasion. However, it was broken without being attacked. That's because the heart of the wall doesn't match and the spirit can't be preached. At that time, a general said: "If the city wants to be forever strong but not strong, it needs the people to unite, the people are tireless, the people have no complaints, the people have no worries about food and clothing, and the walls are strong!"
The Great Wall spirit is the unique spirit of democracy in China, which includes self-improvement, tenacious struggle, pioneering and innovative, hard struggle, patriotism, mutual assistance and unity.

Great wall introduction
The Great Wall, also known as the Great Wall of Wan Li, was an ancient military fortress in China. It is a tall, solid and continuous long wall, which is used to limit the enemy's riding. The Great Wall is not a simple isolated wall, but a defense system with the wall as the main body and a large number of cities, obstacles, pavilions and landmarks.
The history of the construction of the Great Wall can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the famous allusion "bonfire drama princes" occurred in Haojing, the capital (now Xi 'an, Shaanxi) originated from this. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, countries competed for hegemony and defended each other, and the construction of the Great Wall entered its first climax, but the construction length at this time was relatively short.
After Qin destroyed the six countries and unified the world, Qin Shihuang connected and repaired the Great Wall of the Warring States Period, which was called the Great Wall of Wan Li. The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty to overhaul the Great Wall, and most of the Great Wall seen by people today was built at this time.
Great Wall resources are mainly distributed in Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Shandong, Henan, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang and other provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. Among them, the length of Hebei province is more than 2000 kilometers, and the length of Shaanxi province is 1838 kilometers.
According to the results of the national Great Wall resources survey conducted by cultural relics and surveying and mapping departments, the total length of the Great Wall in Ming Dynasty was 885 1.8km, and it was more than 1 1,000 km in Qin and Han Dynasties and its early period, and the total length was more than 2 1 1,000 km.
