One of the great feats of the wall is the mathematics involved to build it on those snaking contours. Popular to misconception is that the wall didn't work - or course it didn't, it failed 3x in its 2,000 year history, but that glosses over the fact it protected China from the vast cavalries of the steppe peoples, such as the Mongols, for millennia. However whenever the wall fell, usually at the mountain passes, they tended to be when the dynasty was stagnating, rife with decline and corruption and the guards could be bribed. This was how the Mongols, the Jurchens and the Manchurians came to rule China, almost 'invited' in as the last dynasty fractured into civil war and warlord eras. It's interesting the wall came about because China- although having vast armies, armadas and military tech (such as gunpowder) didn't have effective cavalries. The soil in the empire lacked potassium, which meant horses were significantly weakened. Thus the walls had to be built.
@NaickKim5 жыл бұрын
Great info! Thanks for sharing. Do you know where I can find some info on the maths involved? Sounds interesting. As a scientist I'm always interested. It's true that if it only fails 3 times in 2000 years it isn't necessary a failure. We didn't know that about the horses and the potassium. What's very interesting is that China was ruled by various cultures throughout the ages, but still has a very distinct own culture.

Naick & Kim Chinese culture is a very mixed one because of integrations with northern nomads and other ethnicities. The architecture style in Tang Dynasty over a thousand years ago is very different than those you saw in Beijing. Back then, Chinese did not have chairs and tables and ate sushi. Japan got to preserve more of that ancient China as it was like a copy of Tang Dynasty and was not really invaded by foreign powers. Beijing is abundant with Mongolian and Manchurian culture. The architecture style around Shanghai area which has less that kind of influence is black roof and white wall like in Suzhou. Also Mandarin is like Northern nomads pronunciations of Chinese. A thousand years ago, people were speaking more like Cantonese that has more tones. I guess northern ethnicities could not handle that.lol
@firefly47845 жыл бұрын
Naick & Kim Building a Great Wall was the most cost effective way to guard against Northern nomads back then. Because they did not settle, you had to go all around the vast grasslands and could not find them. Then when you were exhausted, they suddenly appeared and defeated you. Like flash mob, they would loot villages and when you got there, they disappeared again. And yes, horses were a big problem for China while nomads had abundant grasslands and war horses. One reason why Mongolian cavalry could conquer half of the world back then.
@firefly47845 жыл бұрын
Naick & Kim I think Chinese characters have a lot of credit that helped the culture to pass down. People all seemed to like them. Once they started to use Chinese characters and do calligraphies, they integrated themselves into Chinese. Ironically Manchurian ruled China for so long but it is probably the only ethnic group in China who lost its own language. No Manchurian can speak Manchurian now. The Chinese language does not depend on pronunciation to communicate. It probably has a nature to integrate people who are still using all kinds of dialects in nowadays China. I don’t understand what people are talking about in their dialects in surrounding cities, but it does not prevent us all being Chinese. China was also culturally more advanced than the northern nomads back then, so they wanted to learn Chinese culture and got themselves integrated eventually.

How did the Manchurians eventually came through the walls, is that a Ming General sided with the Manchurians and opened the gates that lead the Manchurians straight to Beijing, invading and occupying China for 300 years and becoming the last Dynasty of China. Luckily all invading and occupying forces throughout chinas history were willing to assimilate into chinese culture and society, making China the longest continuous civilization on Earth!

Hey! Just wondering are there any rules to flying your drone over the Great Wall? Thanks sam
@NaickKim5 жыл бұрын
It is a gray area. We did some research online and most posts seem to point in the direction that it is allowed. Although when we were flying, some random tourist said it was not allowed. We did not see anything in the contrary of it being allowed.

The wall in total is about 22.000 km long, so I doubt it :D But if you are talking about this part, yes you can do a loop in one day.
