According to legend, after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, there was an alchemist named Lu Sheng, who went to sea on the orders of Qin Shihuang. When he came back, he brought back news to the first emperor and said, "Who lost Qin is Hu Ye."

The first emperor was superstitious, so from the perspective of later generations, he began to build the Great Wall in the north, trying to make this statement self-defeating. At that time, Qin Shihuang repaired the Great Wall just like ordinary people repaired their own courtyard walls, but the courtyard walls were too long. Therefore, the national strength of Qin was used, and many ordinary people were displaced and separated.

The move to build the Great Wall was also an important reason for Jane's instigation of the rebellion. Therefore, from another perspective, the people who died in Qin did have the role of Hu, but it was the Han people who took over the world from Qin people. According to the precedent of Qin's choice of Dujiangyan, the prophecy brought back by the alchemist was probably conceived by old friends of the six countries, which consumed Qin's national strength.

Historical story 2:

The Great Wall is an extremely magnificent defense construction project in ancient China. Some people say that the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is under the Great Wall, which is the pride and symbol of the Chinese nation. No one will destroy it. Of course, the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang will not be destroyed by future generations. This is the real purpose of Qin Shihuang to build the Great Wall.

People often say that "the Great Wall was built in the Ming Dynasty and the temples were built in the Qing Dynasty", which means that the real coffin of Qin Shihuang is hidden under the Great Wall. Qin Shihuang was building his own mausoleum while repairing the Great Wall. After the completion of the mausoleum, all the people were buried with him, and the people who built the Great Wall were not allowed to publicize it.

Historical story 3:

In the Qin Dynasty, there was a kind and beautiful woman named Meng Jiangnv. On her wedding day, the groom Fan Xiliang was taken to work in the Great Wall by officers and men. The happy event went up in smoke, and Meng Jiangnv was filled with grief and indignation, missing her husband day and night. She thought that instead of sitting at home worrying, she might as well go to the Great Wall to find her husband.

Along the way, Meng Jiangnv went through hardships and finally reached the Great Wall. At this time, the Great Wall is already a long wall composed of construction sites. Meng Jiangnv looked everywhere from one construction site to another, but never saw her husband.

Finally, she heard the bad news of Fan Xiliang's death, and Meng Jiangnv only felt black at the moment and burst into tears. I cried for three days and nights, and I cried so dark that even the sky was moved. It's getting dark and the wind is getting stronger and stronger. There was a loud crash, and a section of the Great Wall cried down, revealing its corpse.

Historical story 4:

According to legend, during the Ming Dynasty, there was a customs repairman named Yi who was proficient in the 99 algorithm. As long as all the buildings are calculated by him, the materials used for labor are very accurate and economical.

The supervisor who supervised customs clearance asked him to count the number of bricks used in Jiayuguan. After detailed calculation, Yi Zhankai said, "99,999 bricks are needed." The supervisor handed out the brick and said, "One more, one less, cut off your head and punish the craftsman for three years."

After the completion, only one brick was left, which was placed on the back eaves of the West Wengcheng gatehouse. The supervisor was overjoyed when he found out, and wanted to take this opportunity to deduct the wages of craftsmen such as Yi, but Yi said unhurriedly, "That brick was put by the gods and is a fixed city brick. If it is moved, the tower will collapse. " The supervisor is in charge, and dare not pursue it again.

Since then, the brick has been put in place, and no one dares to move. Now, this brick still remains on Jiayuguan Tower.

Historical story five:

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a pair of swallows nesting in Rouyuanmen, Jiayuguan. One morning, two swallows passed through the customs. At dusk, the female swallows flew back first. When the male swallow came back, the door was closed and he couldn't get in. As a result, the female Yan was heartbroken and made a "chirp" sound from time to time, crying and dying.

After his death, his spirit lingered. Whenever someone hit the wall with a stone, he made a "chirp" to tell people. In ancient times, people thought it was auspicious to hear the sound of Yan Ming in Jiayuguan. When the general went to war, his wife knocked on the wall to pray. Later, before going out, the soldiers took their children to pray in the corner, which formed a custom.

The Great Wall of Wan Li is one of the greatest buildings in the world. It is located in the mountains and rivers in the north of China, and passes through the loess plateau, desert areas, mountains, canyons and streams from west to east. The Great Wall of Wan Li originated in the Warring States Period. The Great Wall has been recorded in Zuo Zhuan.

During the Warring States period, some big cities have been formed, such as Xianyang in Qin, Handan in Zhao, Xiadu in Yan and the girder of Wei. The great plains in the north have become the targets of the rulers of northern nomadic peoples such as Yanyun, Hu Lin, Loufan, Donghu and Xiongnu. At the same time, the merger wars between the ruling class groups of various vassal States have reached a very frequent level.

At first, in order to prevent the sudden attack from the north, the vassal States built the Great Wall in the north. Later, the Great Wall was built between vassal states for self-defense. After Qin Shihuang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, in order to recover lost territory, he sent general Meng Tian to lead 300,000 troops to crusade against the Huns and drive them to the north of the Yellow River. In order to set up a county in the north and defend the frontier, Qin Shihuang began to build the Great Wall on a large scale.

In 2 14 BC, Qin Shihuang connected the Great Wall of the vassal States of Yan, Zhao and Wei, which lasted for more than 10 years. It took 300,000 people to build it continuously, and completed Lintao (Min County) in Gansu Province in the west, along the Yellow River to He Lin in Inner Mongolia, Yinshan in the north, Yanmenguan, Daixian and Yuxian in Shaanxi Province in the south, and the Great Wall of Yan State in the north.
