In fact, the name of "great wall" refers to lots of similar military defence construction of this kind which can be found in lots of places of northern and northwestern China. Building of the oldest part of great wall was started about 3000 years ago. At that time, China was in the status of warring states. The kindoms in the north sharing borders with tribes living in the grassland built their own walls. When the first emporer united the country, he connected them all together. Massive and substantial refurnishing happened in Ming Dynasty about 500 years ago.
