were Qin, Qi, Chu, yan, Han, Zhao and Wei. To defend against the attack
of neighboring states, the principalities built great and high walls
in their own domains. Discover more...

Great
Wall Qing Dynasty
In the wake of the development in politics and in military situation
during early-Qing Dynasty, especially during the reign of Emperor Kang
Xi, Qianlong , a policy of control through conciliation was adopted
by emperors, whereby Mongolian and Xinjiang princes and nobles were
brought under control by a show of conciliation. Then, emperors didn't
continue the building of the Great Wall. That's also the reason why
the mountain Resort and the Eight Outer Temples were built in Chengde,
Hebei Province.Discover
