159 pages : color illustrations ; 23 cm. "If castles scattered on the European continent represent the romantic, noble, and loyal chivalry in the Middle Ages, the Great Wall in the remote east reflects the pursuit of unity and the unyielding spirit of the Chinese nation. After erosion for thousands of years, both have been scarred in most parts. Far apart from each other, the two kinds of military constructions have different defensive functions, architectural characteristics, and cultural inheritance. Contrary to castles that only defend tens of kilometers of feudal territory, the Great Wall runs over mountains and across rivers for more than 5,000 kilometers, enclosing the whole northern borders of the Chinese empire to form a chain-like defense line from the East China Sea to the inland of Asia." —Foreword 01 History of the Chinese Great Wall -- 02 Famous passes and remains of the Great Wall -- 03 Cultural heritage of the Great Wall Adult Wei Min, Liu Xiaotao.
