The Great Wall of China is the greatest architectural project in the history of human civilization. It was built more than 2,000 years ago during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After the Qin Dynasty unified China, it was combined into the Great Wall. Construction of the Great Wall lasted more than 2,000 years. According to historical records, from the seventh century BC, when Chu built the square city, to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), more than 20 vassal states and feudal dynasties built the Great Wall. The length of the Great Wall in the Qin, Han and Ming dynasties all exceeded 5,000 kilometers.
