how many dynasties worked on the great wall
The Sui Dynasty (581â618) saw extensive rebuilding of the Great Wall, while the following Tang Dynasty (618â907), the culmination of China's feudal age, didn't do any work on the Great wall owing to its superior power and advantage over its northern nomad neighbors.
The Great Wall of China visible today largely dates from the Ming dynasty, as they rebuilt much of the wall in stone and brick, often extending its line through challenging terrain.
During the Qin Dynasty, some of these early fortifications along the northern frontier would become part of the âfirstâ Great Wall. In 215 BC, the First Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered his general Meng Tian to start constructing the Great Wall to protect against the northern nomads.
The Yuan Dynasty (1271â1368). The Yuan Dynasty was the first dynasty in which the whole of China was controlled by a non-Han people, the Mongols. The Great Wall had done a good job of preserving Han China for 1,500 years.
