When it comes to ancient Chinese major projects, we are all proud of them. The Dujiangyan, Terracotta Warriors and Horses, Qin Zhidao and other major projects have fully demonstrated the wisdom and ability of the ancient Chinese. The three super projects in ancient China: the Great Wall of China, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the Karez, are still benefiting mankind today!

Great Wall

The Great Wall of China is a defensive project in ancient China. It is a long-walled defensive building. It can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. The famous allusion "Fenghuo Opera Princes" originated from this. "Historical Records · Family of Chu" contains: "The King of Qi Xuan rides on the mountains to build the Great Wall, reaching the sea in the east and Jeju in the west, more than a thousand miles to prepare for Chu." After Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world, Qin Shihuang connected and repaired the Great Wall of the Warring States , Has been known as the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall is an ancient defense project with the longest construction time and the largest engineering volume in the world. It has been continuously constructed for more than two thousand years since the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is distributed in northern China with a total length of more than 50,000 Kilometers, the Great Wall is never the spirit of the Chinese nation, but also a symbol of the Chinese nation’s opposition to aggression and peace.

The Great Wall as a military defense building in ancient China has been included in the world cultural heritage. The establishment of the Great Wall incorporates the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of ancient people. Today, it has become a symbol and business card of the Chinese nation. Due to its age, the Great Wall has been in existence in all dynasties. Continued to be built or perfected.

Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is one of the oldest canals in the world. It has been excavated for more than two thousand years, and its life span is on par with the Great Wall. Its dedication to the Chinese nation is unspeakable. Until now, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is still the most important gold in China. It is precisely because of its existence that the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in China can be carried out smoothly. As the saying goes, the canal built by the ancients will definitely benefit all generations!

Kanez

It was recorded as early as in "Historical Records". It was called Jingqu. Kanerjing is a special irrigation system in desert areas, which is commonly found in Turpan, Xinjiang, China. There are more than 1,100 karez wells in Turpan, with a total length of about 5,000 kilometers. Karez is a special irrigation system with ingenious structure. It consists of four parts: shaft, culvert, open channel and waterlogging dam. At the undercurrent of the high mountain snow water, seek the water source, drill a vertical well of varying depths at certain intervals, and then repair the culvert at the bottom of the well according to the topography to communicate the wells and divert the water. The outlet of the underground channel is connected with the surface channel to lead the groundwater to the surface to irrigate the mulberry field. Because of this unique underground water conservancy project, the groundwater was directed to the ground and hundreds of thousands of mu of fertile land in the basin were irrigated, which gave birth to the people of all ethnic groups in Turpan and turned the desert into an oasis.

These huge projects have benefited mankind for thousands of years, and no one in the world can surpass it. Editor/He Yuting
