Book Review: The Great Wall is great achievement in the history of Chinese architecture, and of world plans to clime the Great Wall . There is an old Chinese saying?€?He who hasn?€?t been to the Great Wall is not a true man?€?, which shows the profound impact it has had on the mind of the people. Many books and picture albums about the Great Wall have been published, but those more informative and interesting one which combine historical narrative, a discussion of cultural artifacts and legendary tales are rare. To satisfy the visitor?€?s interest, we not only survey the history and construction of the Great Wall, including a discussion of the three great eras of building, the Qin, Han, and Ming dynasties, we also present a detailed explanation of the functions of various facilities, and the communication, defense, and drainage systems of the Great Wall. In addition, the descriptions of cultural artifacts such as the tomb murals of the Han Dynasty in Horinger, the Buddhist scriptures in six languages in Yuntai, the ancient travel permits and inscribed wooden slips and related legendary tales will certain arouse the reader?€?s interest.
