China is not the only country in history that has built a wall on its boundary. Athens, Rome, Denmark and Korea also did the same in the past. The Hadrian's Wall in Northern England was also built to separate the Romans from barbarians. All were built for the purpose of defending their country against its invaders.

Confucianism information :)

What is commonly referred to as the Great Wall of China is actually four great walls rather than a single, continuous wall. The oldest section of one of the four Great Walls of China was begun in 221 B.C., not long after China was unified into an empire out of a loose configuration of feudal states.also gives a lot of information about the impacts of the great wall.

By Peter Hessler Photographs by Michael Yamashita Over the centuries the Chinese built not one wall but a vast network of walls to keep foreigners out. Now two foreigners, a writer and a photographer, set off on an unprecedented mission: to follow as much of the walls as they can by car, traveling deep into China's rural heart.

This website was very helpful and has some very detailed information. It helped me a lot on the effects on china and helped me understand the history more.

"The early thought behind Legalism was first formed by Shang Yang and was further developed by Hanfeizi and Li Si as a realist reform oriented philosophy meant to strengthen government and reinforce adherence to the law. Legalism fully emerged during the Warring States Period, a critical point in ancient Chinese history......." This web site was very helpful. It said who created Legalism and when it was introduced and outlined what Legalists believed.

The Importance of the Great Wall The Great Wall, China's legendary defense line, is the country's number one historic monument and a national symbol. Although the vast majority of the remaining sections of the Great Wall were erected during the Ming Dynasty, the Great Wall represents a collective effort of millions of people from many of China's imperial dynasties and pre-imperial states, dating back to over 2500 years ago. this website gives great factual information about the Great Wall. this website tells you the height of the Great Wall, how it protected China, the measures taken by the Chinese Government to protect the Great Wall and many more handy facts.
