Jack:
The
Great
Wall
is
indeed
the
crystallization
of
the
industry
and
wisdom
of
the
Chinese
people
and
also
a
symbol
of
ancient
Chinese
culture.
Then
why
the
ancient
people built the wall?

It was constructed to guard against the invasion by nomadic tribes from the north.
When
enemy
troops
approached,
guards
on
watch
would
send
smoke
signals
from
the
beacon-fire towers as an alarm.

Those
towers
on
the
wall
are
spaced
at
equal
distances
from
each
other.
When
guards
in
a
tower
saw
the
signals
from
its
neighbor,
they
immediately
did
the
same
thing .In this way; the signals would be relayed to the capital.
