The person responsible for this great world wonder was Emperor Qin. During his time, the map of China looked like a seven-piece jigsaw puzzle formed from the seven kingdoms fighting for power. One of these kingdoms, the Qin kingdom, conquered the other six to create what is regarded as the first united empire in Chinese history. Emperor Qin was self-important and ambitious, but he knew he could never defeat the ruthless horse-riding warriors to the north, the Huns.
這個(gè)偉大的世界奇跡的創(chuàng)造者是秦始皇。那時(shí)，中國地圖就像一塊由七個(gè)爭奪霸權(quán)的王國組成的拼圖。其中之一的秦國征服了其他六個(gè)國家，建立了中國歷史上第一個(gè)統(tǒng)一的帝國。秦始皇妄自尊大，野心勃勃，但他知道他永遠(yuǎn)也無法戰(zhàn)勝北方那些騎在馬背上的殘忍的匈奴士兵。
He decided that a wall should be built to prevent the Huns from invading again. And it took Emperor Qin about seven years to achieve his goal. It is worth mentioning that the project was built by using nothing more than bare hands and simple tools. And for the next 2,000 years or so, Chinese dynasties kept on building walls. In the end a whole network of walls spread across the northern part of the country, extending about 20 thousand kilometers in total.
他決定建一堵墻來防止匈奴人再次入侵。秦始皇用了大約七年的時(shí)間才實(shí)現(xiàn)了目標(biāo)。值得一提的是，該項(xiàng)目是由徒手和簡單的工具構(gòu)建的。在接下來的2000年左右的時(shí)間里，中國歷朝歷代一直在建造城墻。最后形成了一個(gè)橫亙中國北部的城墻網(wǎng)，總長大約兩萬多千米。
