กก The Changes of The Great Wall The wall now extended across the principle trading routes and if you wished to trade with the Chinese you needed to enter through the gates in the wall. Around these gates towns were established and became the trade centers of the area. At most gates foreigners were not allowed to go past the gates so these became the portals of trade into China. One perfect example is the beautifully preserved Jade Gate. Built in 101 BC, it is 28 feet high and 66 feet square. Close by they built a fort for the Han soldiers guarding the wall. This section of the wall is 453 feet long, 115 feet wide and 23 feet high. The wall became more than a trade route and a barrier to keep out the enemy, it became vital for communications. Along its ramparts messages could be sent at amazing speeds from one end of the empire to the other. All along the northern border beacon towers were built every 15 to 30 miles. They formed a communication network, which ran from outposts deep into enemy territory to the ancient capital in the east. From these towers the Han troops used smoke by day and torches by night to send messages along the length of the wall. They burnt wood, and straw mixed with wolf dung, which produced rich black columns of smoke. Statutes strictly governed the code of these signals. One column of smoke indicated an impending attack by a force of less than 500. Two columns indicated an attack by a force less than 3,000 and four columns indicated an attack by a force of up to 10,000. กก Please: E-Mail or call 0086-10-63140530 to book the trip ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ More Introduction of the great wall of china: Great Wall in Beijing SiMaTai Great Wall SiMaTai Great Wall JianKou Great Wall MuTianYu Great Wall BaDaLing Great Wall Huanghuacheng great wall Juyong Guan Pass GuBeiKou Great wall Jinshanling great wall Underwater Great wall Great wall in North west China Wuwei Great Wall Great Wall at Hushan Dun Hua Great Wall Zhangye Great Wall Jiayu Pass Great Wall Yangguan Great Wall YanmenQuan Great Wall Yanmen Fortress great wall Shizuishan Great Wall Huang YaGuan great wall JiuQuan Great Wall WangXiaoTemple near great wall NiangziGuan pass Great wall in North east China Happy meeting fortress ShanHaiPass Great Wall Zhen Bei Tai Tower shimenzi Great wall Jiu MenKou Great Wall Pianguan pass Zijinguan Pass Great wall stories Why Build the great wall Lady Meng cry great wall Overhanging Great wall Ten brothers and the great wall Yang generals Special custom of Jiayu pass Wu SanHui and ChenYuanYuan wonder of the world beginning of the Great wall Magic of the Great wall Secrets of Great wall Great wall from space change of Great wall foreigner view of Great wall Great wall by radar Great wall again Map of Great wall กก ______________________________________________________ กก |
