The destruction of the Great Wall

-

The history of destroying the Great Wall is as long as that of building it. This conforms to the laws of the world. Since it originated from war, it is bound to be abused by war. For more than two thousand years, the destruction of the Great Wall has never stopped. However, the direct destruction of the Great Wall was nearly 100 years ago.

The large-scale man-made destruction of the Great Wall began with the Japanese invaders during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. A considerable part of the Great Wall in Huailai County of Zhangjiakou was demolished by the Japanese army. In addition, in Shanxi, Liaoning, Hebei and other places, large sections of city walls were also damaged by Japanese artillery bombardment.

This destruction is also the result of war. Standing in front of the high wall full of bullet holes, people not only saw the injured cultural relics, but also learned more about the actual function of the Great Wall.

However, there is a kind of destruction from outside the war. It is neither an ant nesting nor a natural disaster between heaven and earth. People who live in peace-just like the collapsed Leifeng Tower, the descendants of the Great Wall builders deliberately did it.

According to the investigation of Beijing Cultural Relics Bureau, 54 kilometers of the Great Wall with a total length of 183 kilometers in Beijing were demolished, and hundreds of beacon towers and watchtowers were demolished.

According to the investigation of Hebei Provincial Cultural Relics Management Office, there are not many well-preserved Great Walls in Hebei Province. Under the banner of breaking capitalism, some important Great Wall passes, such as Guancheng, watchtower and beacon tower near Gubeikou, xifengkou and Lengkou, were demolished.

Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia and other places built the Great Wall, and dozens and hundreds of miles were dug up by the ground. Use the walls of the ancient Great Wall as fertilizer. In some areas, the bricks and stones of the Great Wall were demolished to build roads, reservoirs and houses. In some places, the stone walls of the Great Wall were even blown up with explosives and sold as stones. Therefore, it is difficult to find the site of the Great Wall in some areas. In some places, the Great Wall, which was once majestic, solid and galloping like a dragon, lay there like a dead snake peeled after being destroyed, and it was unbearable to look back.

In the past twenty years, although the slogan of protecting the Great Wall has become louder and louder, a large number of vicious incidents have still occurred between economic development and cultural relics protection.

1999 ring highway was built by the transportation department of Baotou city, and some sites of the 2300-year-old Zhao Great Wall were razed to the ground.

Ningxia Since the Warring States Period, almost all feudal dynasties have built the Great Wall in Ningxia. The ancient Great Wall, built with different building materials in different historical periods, stretches for hundreds of kilometers intermittently in Ningxia, forming a wonderful landscape. However, these ancient Great Wall sites, once called "Great Wall Museum" by experts, have not been well protected for many years, and many urban sections have been devastated. Especially in recent years, when some places are engaged in infrastructure construction, incidents of destroying cities continue to occur. Only in Huinong County, Zhongwei County and Lingwu County of Ningxia, hundreds of meters of ancient Great Wall have been razed to the ground in recent years due to road construction and bridge construction, and similar incidents of destroying and expanding the city still occur from time to time in other places.

Beijing Evening News reported on June 1 2006 that the Chu Great Wall in the Spring and Autumn Period was found in the watershed of Sikeshu Township, Lushan County, Henan Province in 2000, and it was destroyed nine months later. The discovery of the Great Wall of Chu fills the gap in the study of the Great Wall of China. Experts suggested that this site must be protected. However, in just nine months, the expert's voice was drowned out by the sound of blasting rocks. The reporter saw at the site of the site of the Great Wall of Chu that a simple highway crossed the hillside from 207 national highway and cut the Great Wall of Chu at the waist of the slope. The boulder in the site of the Great Wall of Chu has disappeared, leaving only the traces dug out by the huge excavator on the Great Wall of Chu.

Beijing Evening News reported on September 8th, 20065438 that the Great Wall of Gold, located in Achura Songduan, Keshiketeng Banner, Chifeng City, was seriously damaged recently. 1km long golden great wall is covered with fences and boundary markers, which casts a shadow over the golden great wall which has just won the title of national key cultural relics protection unit.

Many media in Beijing reported this month that the "Ten Thousand People Walk the Great Wall" activity jointly organized by Simatai Great Wall Management Office, Jinshanling Great Wall Management Office, Post and Telecommunications Travel Agency, Jinzhiqiao Information Consulting Company and Beijing Morning Post will be held on September 16. Participants can get two hamburgers and a vest by paying 130 yuan. The author consulted the agency on this phone, and the person in charge said: Although 10,000 people walk on the 10 km Great Wall at the same time, it will not cause serious damage to the Great Wall, because we did it once last year. In addition, the income from our activities can be used to repair the Great Wall that has been "crossed".

The destruction of civilization is by no means the beginning of the construction of a new civilization, and the barbaric factors that will be active at any time have been passed down. On the ruins of the Great Wall, we can see traces of those savage genes.
