Ladies and gentlemen, now our car is driving on Badaling Expressway and will soon enter the Badaling scenic spot to be visited. The mountain ahead is Du Jun, and the Badaling Great Wall is entrenched on this mountain. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people in ancient China began to build the Great Wall. At that time, in order to protect their territory from infringement, the vassal States built the Great Wall on their respective borders, which was called the Great Wall for Common Defense.

In China, the construction of the Great Wall experienced three peaks, namely, Qin Changcheng, Han Great Wall and Ming Great Wall. In 22 1 year BC, Qin Shihuang unified the Central Plains and established the Qin Dynasty. In order to strengthen his rule and resist the invasion of nomadic people in the north, he sent a general Meng Tian and a large army of 300,000 laborers to connect Yan, Zhao and Qin Changcheng in the north to expand. The Great Wall of Wan Li, the first Great Wall of Wan Li in the history of China, was built in nine years from Lintao to Liaodong. In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also built the Great Wall near Wan Li to strengthen defense, "not called Humadu Yinshan Mountain", and also protected the newly developed Silk Road. The Great Wall of Han Dynasty, the longest dynasty in the history of China, is the frontier defense line of Qin Changcheng, starting from Xinjiang in the west and Liaodong in the east. The Ming Great Wall is the highest peak in the history of China, and its engineering scale and technical level are unique. In the process of unifying the whole country and establishing the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted the suggestion of "building a wall high, accumulating grain widely and becoming king slowly". Although the Yuan Dynasty at that time had perished, it still maintained a relatively complete military strength, and with the constant invasion of the rising Jurchen nationality, it began to build the Great Wall. The Great Wall 18 times was built on a large scale in the Ming Dynasty, and it was basically completed by the end of the Ming Dynasty. It starts from Hushan on the Yalu River in Dandong, Liaoning Province in the east and ends at Jiayuguan in Gansu Province in the west, with a total length of 6,350 kilometers. The Ming Great Wall has three characteristics: complete structure, perfect management and tight layout. The Badaling Great Wall that we see today is a part of the Ming Great Wall. Although the original purpose of the ancient Great Wall in China was defense, it also played other roles. The first is the military role, the second is the economic role, which not only promotes the development of wasteland and the economic development of northern Xinjiang, but also helps the people of the Central Plains to live and work in peace and contentment, and the third is to promote the integration of all ethnic groups. In addition, it also protected communications and promoted opening to the outside world. It is worth mentioning that in ancient China, the Great Wall was built more than three times. According to statistics, in the last two thousand years, more than 20 vassal states and feudal dynasties built the Great Wall. Someone did a rough calculation. If the Great Wall is converted into a wall with a height of 5 meters and a thickness of 1 m, it will be rich to circle the earth 10. The famous folklore: the campfire drama "The Warlord and Meng Jiangnu Cry at the Great Wall" also took place on the Great Wall of Wan Li. Today, after several repairs, the Great Wall has basically recovered its original appearance. It was listed on the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO in 1987, and it is still branded in the world. Agent Qiao Jian the Monkey Ye Song? 6 regions, total length 10. Eighty thousand Li.

The road we just passed is located in Guangou. Guangou is the intersection of Yanshan Mountain and Jundu Mountain, starting from Nankou Town, Changping District in the south and reaching the Chengguan of Badaling Great Wall in Yanqing County in the northwest, with a total length of 40 miles. It is the throat artery leading to the northwest plateau in the Central Plains. The Ming Dynasty laid four lines of defense here, namely Nankouguan, Juyongguan, Shangguan and Badaling. On the Diecui Mountain in Guangou, there was once one of the eight scenic spots of Yanjing in the Jin Dynasty: Juyong Diecui, but now this landscape no longer exists.

The railway we just saw is the first railway designed and built by China people themselves, and the Jing-Zhang Railway designed by Zhan Tianyou. Due to the complex terrain and many technical difficulties in Badaling area, the herringbone railway designed by Zhan Tianyou successfully solved the problem that cars can't climb and turn directly, and the tunnel with a length of 109 1 m also impressed Chinese and foreign people. The bronze statue erected at Qinglongqiao Railway Station now belongs to Zhan Tianyou, and there is also a monument. Guangou is famous for Juyongguan. We can see that the magnificent building ahead is Juyongguan. Its name originated from the Qin Dynasty, and it was named after Qin Shihuang moved the "layman" to live here. In the pass, there is a famous white marble platform, namely Yuntai. It was the crossing tower of the Yuan Dynasty. There are three Tibetan pagodas on it, which were destroyed in the later earthquake. Tai 'an Temple was built in the same place in the Ming Dynasty, but it was destroyed in the Kangxi period, leaving only the column base and watchtower we see now. Yuntai covers an area of 3 10 square meter, and the ticket gate under the stage is engraved with reliefs such as lions, elephants, four elephants and golden-winged birds, which respectively represent the riding of the Five Buddhas of Tantric Sect and the reliefs of the gods of the Eight Dragons. There are also the reliefs of the four heavenly kings and the patterns of god beasts on the inner wall. The top of the coupon is also covered with Datura pattern, and the flower is engraved with Buddha statue, ***22 15. There are also six scripts engraved with "Dalagni Sutra" and "Tower-building Merit", which are fine works of art in the Yuan Dynasty and have high artistic value.

Badaling Great Wall is an outstanding representative of the Great Wall in Ming Dynasty. Because it extends in all directions, it becomes Badaling. Maybe everyone will ask, why do you say that the Great Wall is being built here? In fact, this is mainly because of the important geographical location of Badaling area. It not only guards the Ming imperial tomb, but also the northwest gate of the capital.

Badaling Great Wall is the witness of many important events in history, such as Xiao Taihou's Xunxing, Yuan Taizu's entry into the customs, Empress Dowager Cixi's Western Expedition, etc. Badaling is the road after all. Speaking of which, there is another story to tell you: there is a boulder next to the east gate of Guancheng. It is said that Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing in 1900, and Cixi passed by on her way to the west. She once stood on this stone and looked back at the capital, so this stone is also called Wangjing Stone. But now this stone is not so prominent.

There is a saying that everyone must know: you are not a hero until you reach the Great Wall. Just introduced so many landscapes, you must be eager to see the scenic spots. Don't worry, you will become a hero soon. Well, here is the famous Badaling Great Wall, with magnificent scenery in the distance, and Wengcheng, an important part of the Great Wall, is looking down. It is usually built on a traffic artery with dangerous terrain. The distance between the two gates of Wengcheng is 63.9 meters, and the inscription on the west gate reads: north gate key, as I said before. The plaque on the east gate reads: Juyongguan Waizhen, which means another important town outside Juyongguan. Now let's look down to the right. In the south of Dengchengkou, there is a cannon called General Shenwei. It was made during the Chongzhen period.

Badaling Great Wall consists of three walls. What are three walls? Now let me explain to you that the three platforms are the city platform and the enemy platform, in which the city platform has a very simple structure and is only a place where officers and men are stationed to shelter from the wind and cold. The structure of the enemy platform is complex and divided into two layers. The lower layer consists of fields, wells and benefits. The upper layer has cribs and observation holes for observing military intelligence and archery, so it also has the function of defending the enemy.

Here we go to beacon tower, also known as beacon tower and Wolf Yantai. It is an independent building, not connected with the Great Wall. Once the enemy attacks, it will light a beacon to inform the military situation. The ancients granted that the smoke lit during the day was called bonfire, and the smoke lit at night was called flint. In the Ming dynasty, strict regulations were made on the relationship between bonfires and enemies: if the enemy exceeds 100, light a cigarette and put a gun; Five white people, burning two smoke spots and two guns; More than 1000 people, three cigarettes and three guns; More than five thousand people, four cigarettes and four guns; More than ten thousand people, five cigarettes and five cannons. In this way, the border military intelligence can be quickly transmitted to the imperial city ouchi.

After three sets, let's talk about two walls. The high wall outside the Great Wall is called a stacked wall, and the crib is used to defend against the enemy. The one less than one meter high inside is called the parapet, also called the wall. At first, there was no parapet inside the Great Wall, but people often fell off cliffs, so this wall was built. At the root of the Great Wall, there is a small ditch at regular intervals to drain water from the spout in rainy days to prevent water from washing the wall. The wall of the Great Wall is made of stones, with bricks outside and slates above. The building is very strong!

The Great Wall is one of the world-famous wonders. It lurks like a dragon in the vast land of northern China. It is the crystallization of the blood and sweat of the ancient working people in China, the symbol of the ancient culture in China and the pride of the Chinese nation. Our car is driving on Badaling Expressway and will soon enter the scenic spot. front

Our mountain is called Du Jun, and the Badaling Great Wall hovers over Dujun Mountain. The road where cars travel is located in the 20-kilometer-long Guangou, which is named after the famous ancient pass Juyongguan. We can see that the magnificent building ahead is Juyongguan. Juyongguan is an important pass of the Great Wall in Wan Li, which was built in the Ming Dynasty. Guancheng has two gates, north and south, and there is a crock outside the gate. Ancient buildings have been destroyed for a long time, and only after being restored in recent years can the ancient style reappear. There is a famous white marble building named Yuntai in Juyongguan, which is the foundation of a crossing tower from Yuan Dynasty to Zheng Zheng, namely 1342. On the stage, the Atai Temple, which was built here in the Ming Dynasty, was also destroyed by fire in 1702, leaving only this tower base. Yuntai is the foundation of the earliest and largest crossing tower in China, and it is also an important physical object of stone buildings in Yuan Dynasty. With high cultural relics value, it is now listed as one of the national key cultural relics protection units.

The mountains on both sides were once shrouded by the clouds of pine and cypress, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, and the streams were full of poetry and painting everywhere. One of the eight famous sights of alcohol and tobacco in the Jin Dynasty, "Juyong Diecui", refers to this place. Unfortunately, it was completely destroyed by a mountain fire in the 13th year of Ming Hongzhi 1500. In recent years, although great efforts have been made in planting trees in this area, it is difficult to reproduce the historical landscape due to insufficient rain. At the same time, due to human factors such as road construction, 72 scenic spots in Guangou, such as Muguiying Dianjiangtai, Xianren Bridge and Qinqin Gorge, can only be heard, but not seen.

In order to give you a better understanding of the Great Wall, I will now introduce you to the knowledge about the Great Wall.

The development of everything has a process. The Great Wall is no exception. The Great Wall of China originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, about the 7th century BC. At that time, the princes competed for hegemony, and in order to protect their territory from infringement, they built the Great Wall one after another. At that time, the Great Wall was on their own border, and it was section by section, which was called "mutual defense of the Great Wall". Qin Shihuang annexed six countries in 22 1 BC, unified the Central Plains and established a feudal dynasty. In order to strengthen the rule and prevent the invasion of nomadic people in the north, the Qin Dynasty invested huge manpower and material resources to build the Great Wall. They connected the original Yan, Zhao and Qin Changcheng in the north, rebuilt and strengthened them, expanded a lot, and built a Great Wall stretching for thousands of miles from Lintao in the west to Liaodong in the east. This is the first Great Wall of Wan Li in the history of China. During the Han Dynasty, Qin Changcheng extended westward to Yanze, which is now Lop Nur in Xinjiang. The Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, with a length of 10000 km, is the longest dynasty in the history of China. The Ming dynasty was also the peak of the development of the Great Wall. Its huge engineering and exquisite construction technology are unique in the history of China. Most of the Great Wall was built in the Ming Dynasty, and it is still intact. It should be reminded that in the history of China, not only Han rulers such as Qin, Han and Ming built the Great Wall, but also ethnic minorities such as Northern Wei, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, Eastern Wei and Jin built the Great Wall. Moreover, the Great Wall built by the Jin Dynasty is 2500 kilometers long, which is the longest dynasty for ethnic minorities to build the Great Wall. After careful calculation, it took more than 2,000 years from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Ming Dynasty, and more than 20 vassal states and feudal dynasties built the Great Wall. These Great Walls vary in length and crisscross, and are distributed in China 17 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. If you add up the Great Wall built in past dynasties, the total length can reach more than ten Wan Li. It can really be described as "going up and down for two thousand years, traveling on Wan Li Road." Someone has done a rough calculation. If the masonry and earthwork used in the Great Wall built in various dynasties are piled up to build a great wall with a height of 5 meters and a thickness of 1 m, then this great wall can circle the earth for more than 10 weeks.

The Badaling Great Wall that we are going to visit today was built in the Ming Dynasty.

It is the essence of the Great Wall in Wan Li and the most outstanding representative of the Great Wall in Ming Dynasty. At this point, some people may wish to ask, why did the Ming Dynasty build such a strong Great Wall in Badaling area? This is mainly determined by the geographical location of Badaling. It not only plays a role in guarding the tombs of Ming emperors, but also serves as the northwest gateway of Beijing. After a while, you can see the four characters "North Gate Lock Key" written on the horizontal forehead of Badaling Pass. The North Gate refers to the North Gate of Shi Jing. The lock key says that the Great Wall is strong and dangerous, like an unbreakable lock, locked here. As long as we hold this pass, the capital can be foolproof. However, the corrupt Ming Dynasty was finally overthrown by the peasant rebels led by Li Zicheng. However, it is said that it did not break through Badaling Guancheng, but bypassed Liugou in Yanqing. In order to strengthen the rule, the Ming dynasty did not work hard. After driving away the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, in order to prevent their intrusion, the Ming Dynasty put forward the slogan of "building walls high" at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang also sent generals Xu Da and Sheng Feng to build blockade lines and the Great Wall in the north. During the 270-year rule of the Ming Dynasty, there were 18 large-scale construction projects, and finally the Great Wall was built, starting from the Yalu River in Liaoning in the east and reaching Jiayuguan in Gansu in the west. This is what we usually say, and we can see the Great Wall of Wan Li. The Great Wall of Ming Dynasty is more than 6,300 kilometers long and passes through nine provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in northern China. No matter from the level of engineering technology or the strictness of fortification, it is incomparable to the previous Great Wall. At the same time, the Great Wall of Wan Li in Ming Dynasty was no longer a single high wall, but a defense system in depth, and many walls and passes were built in key areas. Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei and other places have built double tracks of the Great Wall, and there are as many as four double tracks of the Great Wall in Shanxi. In important traffic and military sites, many city gates and many short city walls have been built, such as Yanmenguan 10 Li Valley, with 28 stone walls, which can be described as "building obstacles step by step".

In order to defend itself, the Ming Dynasty deployed more than 900,000 soldiers along the Great Wall. The Great Wall is divided into nine defense zones from east to west (called Jiubian, which is equivalent to the current military region), and each defense zone is guarded by generals. These protected areas are called "towns", namely Liaodong Town, Yuji Town, Fu Xuan Town, Datong Town, Shanxi Town, Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town and Gan Town.

Badaling Great Wall is a subsidiary pass of Juyongguan in Zhen Ji Town. Juyongguan is a "road" level defense zone, with jurisdiction of 45km east of Xishui-huanghua town border, 60km west of Zijinggukou border, south of wanping county border and north of Tumuyi-Fu Xuan border. Juyongguan Guancheng is on the north throat, and Badaling is at the north exit of Yaodao. South of Badaling, there are three island passes, namely Nankou, Juyongguan and Shangguan. Plus Badaling, one * * * is the four levels.

In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi (1505), Badaling was built as a customs city. In the same period, more than 100 piers and towers were built at the intersection of mountains and rivers and on the main roads in Yanqing County, north of Guancheng. During this period, the Anda tribe in the north rose and plundered the south continuously. In the tenth year of Zheng De (15 15), Anda cavalry invaded Badaling, killing and plundering harriers. Anda cavalry came and went in a hurry, empty, and harassed Yanqing area the following year, threatening the capital and making people miserable. In order to strengthen the defense, in the eighteenth year of Jiajing, namely 1539, the east gate of Badaling Guancheng was rebuilt. In the 30th year of Jiajing (155 1), a barracks was built 3 miles northwest of Badaling Guancheng, named Chadao City. Qi Jiguang, who was heavily stationed, was transferred to the north, and the Prime Minister Ji, Chang and Bao guarded the three towns. He rebuilt the 600-kilometer Great Wall from Shanhaiguan in the east to Juyongguan in the west. Badaling, because of its strategic location, is a key area for construction, with tall and solid walls, dense enemy towers and exquisite materials. In the tenth year of Wanli (1582), the west gate of Guancheng was rebuilt. After more than 80 years of operation, Badaling Great Wall has become a defense system connecting cities, opposing piers and castles, guarding cities and warning fires.

Badaling is also a witness to many important events in history. After the first emperor Qin Shihuang came to Jieshi from the east, he took Datong from Badaling and drove back to Xianyang. Xiao Taihou's star tour, Yuan Taizu's entry into the customs, Yuan Di's twice-yearly trip to Beijing, Ming Di's Northern Expedition, the personal expedition of the Qing emperor, and Empress Dowager Cixi's westward escape to Badaling are all places that must pass through. Up to now, there is still a scene of "Wangjing Stone" left by Cixi who fled to the west outside the east gate of Badaling Guancheng. 1900, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, and Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled westward to Badaling. Cixi stood on a stone and looked back at Beijing. She stood for a long time, unwilling to leave, and couldn't help crying when she returned to Beijing, hence the name Wangjingshi. If you are interested, you can get off and have a look.

After the Qing Dynasty, the Badaling Great Wall, which had already publicized its military value, became increasingly deserted. The wall and watchtower of the Great Wall were destroyed by natural and man-made factors, and became broken walls. After the founding of New China, all the buildings of the Great Wall were protected by the state, and relevant departments were organized to repair them. 196 1 year, the State Council designated Badaling Great Wall and City Wall as key cultural relics protection units and opened them to tourists. 1984, at the initiative of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, Guxiong Pass was completely renewed, and 19 watchtowers were successively restored, with a total length of 374 1 m, making the tourist area reach 19000 square meters. 1986 was named as one of the sixteen scenic spots in New Beijing. 1987, the Great Wall of Wan Li was listed in the World Cultural Heritage List by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, and a certificate was issued. Badaling received the certificate as the representative of the Great Wall of Wan Li, and now the original of this certificate is kept in the China Great Wall Museum at the foot of Badaling Great Wall. 199 1 year, Badaling was rated as the top 40 tourist attractions in China by the National Tourism Administration with an absolute majority.

Badaling Great Wall is the earliest section of the Great Wall in Wan Li that is open to tourists, and its popularity is also the highest. Up to now, Badaling has received more than 60 million Chinese and foreign tourists, and more than 300 foreign heads of state and many world celebrities such as Nixon, Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Gorbachev, Queen Elizabeth and the Emperor of Japan have boarded the Badaling Great Wall for sightseeing. This situation is also rare in world scenic spots. You are not a hero until you reach the Great Wall. Don't worry, you will soon become a hero in the city.
