　　The Great Wall of China is called the ＂Ten-thousand-Ii Great Wall＂ in Chinese.In fact, it's more than 6000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.
　　The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries.The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the different parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up.Thus, the Great Wall came into being.
　　The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtow-ers, where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.
　　It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.
　　Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world.Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: ＂He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.＂
　　中国的长城
　　中国的长城汉语中常叫作＂万里长城＂。实际上它长6 ooo多公里。它从西到东，穿过沙漠，越过高山，跨过深谷，蜿蜒而行，最后直到海边。它是世界上的奇观之一。
　　长城有两千多年的历史。最早是在春秋时期开始修筑的。战国时期，各诸候国为了保卫自己的边境，分别修筑了更多的城墙。在秦朝时，秦国把各诸侯国统一起来，成为一个帝国。为了御敌于国门之外，秦始皇令人把所有的城墙连接起来。这样，长城就形成了。
　　长城上面很宽，足够五匹马或10个人并排而行。沿城墙有许多烽火台，过去常有士兵驻守。敌人来时，就点燃烽火，以通知其他士兵。
　　没有任何现代机器，要修筑这样一座长城是非常困难的。所有的工作都不得不用手来完成。成千上万的人死了，被埋在自己修建的城墙下面。长城不仅是用石头和土筑成的，而且也是用数以百万计的人的血肉筑成的。
　　今天，长城不仅对中国人，而且对来自全世界各地的人们来说都是一处名胜。其中许多人都已知道这句中国名言：＂不到长城非好汉＂。关于描写长城的英语作文篇二
　　The Great Wall
　　The Great Wall building has a long history, vast engineering magnificent, is the world's rare miracle. The Great Wall is the four corners of the world, stretching in our great motherland vast land. It looks like a great dragon, surmounts lofty hills, through the vast grassland, across the vast desert, towards the vast sea. According to historical records, more than 20 states and feudal dynasty built the Great Wall, if constructs each time the Great Wall together, about 100000 miles above. The length of the Great Wall that was built by The Qin, Han, and Ming 3 Dynasty was more than 10 kilo miles. Now our country Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Henan, Shandong, Hubei, Hunan and other province, city, autonomous regions have the ancient the Great Wall, peak fire platform remains. Of which only the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region the Great Wall amounted to more than 3.
　　The Ming Dynasty in the＂ outside＂ beyond the Great Wall, also built＂ inside＂ and＂ three＂ the Great Wall the Great Wall. ＂ Neiguan＂ the Great Wall in the Northern Qi Dynasty had built for the foundation, from Inner Mongolia and Shanxi at the junction of west east ＂Pianguan＂, the Yanmenguan, flat various pass into Hebei, and then turned to the northeast, Fangshan, Changping, the source
　　of all counties, to pass, and then by the North and East, Huairou to the four customs, and＂ outside＂ is connected to the Great Wall, Zijingguan as the center, generally in a north-south direction. ＂ Three＂ the Great Wall in many places and＂ inside＂ the Great Wall, some places two cities are separated by only tens of in. In addition, but also to build a large number of＂ repeated walls＂. Yanmenguan area＂ repeated walls ＂to have 24 much!
　　The Great Wall is the working people in ancient China created the miracle. Beginning with QinShihuang, constructs the Great Wall always is a big project. According to the record, QinShihuang used the million of labors to build the Great Wall, occupy countrywide population 1 / 20! There were no machinery, in addition to earth, carrying bricks can use donkeys, goats can climb the cattle, all labor and all must rely on manpower, work environment and high mountains and lofty hills, cliff. Can imagine, no large crowds on hard work, is unable to complete the great project.
　　The great wall of the engineering quantity, according to rough estimates, only constructs take the Ming Dynasty as an example, if its masoy, earth is used to build a thickness of 1 meter, 5 meters high walls, circled the earth for over a week. If used for paving a 5 meters wide, 35 cm thick road, it could circle the earth three or four
　　weeks. If all dynasties built a total of 50 thousand kilometers calculation, then this wall can rotate around the earth several weeks, this road, around the earth in thirty or forty weeks.
　　＂Because of the terrain, with risks for plug＂ is the construction of the Great Wall is an important experience, in the age of QinShihuang had it down, Sima Qian writes it to＂ historical records＂. Later each dynasty build the Great Wall are in accordance with the principle of. Who built Guan Cheng pass are the right and wrong choice between two mountains canyons, or river turning point. Or flat contacts pass through, so as to control is important, and may save the manpower and materials, to achieve ＂If one man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to get through. Ten thousand cannot force it,＂ effect. Built a castle or Beacon Tower is selected in the＂ appeared to place＂ for building a wall, is the full use of the terrain, such as Juyongguan, the Great Wall in Badaling are built along the mountain ridge, some lots from the lateral walls look very steep, we receive＂ inside is smooth, easily defensible .＂ effect of. In the territory of Liaoning, Liaodong town of Ming Dynasty the Great Wall has called a precipitous wall, wall of the hill, is the use of vertical cliff, precipice slightly to split cutting you will become the Great Wall. Some places
　　completely using the cliffs, rivers and lakes as a natural barrier, it can be called art beats nature. The
　　Great Wall, as a great project, become the Chinese nation is a valuable heritage.
　　长城修筑的历史悠久，工程雄伟浩大，是世界少有的奇迹。长城东西南北交错，绵延伏于我们伟大祖国辽阔的土地上。它好像一条巨龙，翻越巍巍群山，穿过茫茫草原，跨过浩瀚的沙漠，奔向苍茫的大海。根据历史文献记载，有20多个诸侯国家和封建王朝修筑过长城，若把各个时代修筑的长城加起来，大约有10万里以上。其中秦、汉、明3个朝代所修长城的长度都超过了1万里。现在我国新疆、 甘肃、 宁夏、 陕西、 内蒙古、 山西、河北、北京、 天津、 辽宁、 吉林、 黑龙江、 河南、山东、湖北、湖南等省、市、自治区都有古长城、峰火台的遗迹。其中仅内蒙古自治区的长城就达3万多里。
　　明朝在＂外边＂长城之外，还修筑了＂内边＂长城和＂内三关＂长城。＂内关＂长城以北齐所筑为基础，起自内蒙古与山西交界处的偏关以西，东行经雁门关、平型诸关入河北，然后折向东北，经来源、房山、昌平诸县，直达居庸关，然后又由北而东，至怀柔的四海关、与＂外边＂长城相接，以紫荆关为中心，大致成南北走向。＂内三关＂长城在很多地方和＂内边＂长城并行，有些地方两城相隔仅数十里。除此以外，还修筑了大量的＂重城＂。雁门关一带的＂重城＂就有24道之多！
　　长城是我国古代劳动人民创造的奇迹。自秦始皇开始，修筑长城一直是一项大工程。据记载，秦始皇使用了近百万劳动力修筑长城，占全国人口的1/20！当时没有任何机械，除运土、运砖可以用毛驴、山羊能爬山的牲畜外，全部劳动都得靠人力，而工作环境又是崇山峻岭、峭壁深壑。可以想见，没有大量的人群进行艰苦的劳动，是无法完成这项巨大工程的。
　　万里长城的工程量，据粗略估计，仅以明朝修筑为例，若将其砖石、土方用修筑一道厚1米、高5米的大墙，可环绕地球一周有余。如果用来铺筑一条宽5米、厚35厘米的马路，那就能绕地球三四周了。如果把所有朝代所修的总计10万里来计算，则这道长墙可绕地球十几周，这条马路，可绕地球三四十周。
　　＂因地地形，用险制塞＂是修筑长城的一条重要经验，在秦始皇的时候已经把它肯定下来，司马迁把它写入《史记》之中。以后每一个朝代修筑长城都是按照这一原则进行的。凡是修筑关城隘口都是非曲直选择在两山峡谷之间，或是河流转折之处。或是平川往来必经之地，这样既能控制险要，又可节约人力和材料，以达＂一夫当关，万夫莫开＂的效果。修筑城堡或烽火台也是选择在＂四顾要之处＂至于修筑城墙，更是充分地利用地地形，如像居庸关、八达岭的长城都有是沿着山岭的脊背修筑，有的地段从城墙外侧看去非常险峻，内侧则甚是平缓，收＂易守难攻＂之效。在辽宁境内，明代辽东镇的长城有一种
　　叫山险墙、劈山墙的，就是利用悬崖陡壁，稍微把崖壁劈削一下就成为长城 了。还有一些地方完全利用危崖绝壁、江河湖泊作为天然屏障，真可以说是巧夺天工了.长城，作为一顶伟大的工程，成为中华民族的一份宝贵遗产。
