the Great wall

2010 March 26
Posted by meidejia

Like an invading army, no architectural barriers that are pending against him, wondering, as we March in single file through the wheat fields of northern China, and looked at the first goal. Treason is the answer. As we have for the Great Wall of China and has opened respite Ken Collins, our Australian guide, the lesson of history.

These so-called section of Simatai Great Wall was built during the Ming Dynasty to protect against hostile tribes of the north.
The wall did its job, but the dynasty fell in 1644 occurred when a dissident general was bribed to open the doors for the first pass under heaven, so that the Manchu army towards the kingdom of Beijing and the species.

The bus several hours the previous day had brought us to the northeast of Beijing in the province of Hebei, the starting point for our six days Trek Great Wall. For most of the sharp rise will be more or less continuous part of the wall across from east to west, then move to Jinshanling and Simatai Gubeikou areas for 25 miles in all. Each night we camp near the wall with a host family.

Aid to Simatai On the first day, sometimes more than the increase in the legs, and the surface was very different. But that does not stop 11 years, Mitchell of the USA, the newest member of our group is the summit with the leaders. Her grandmother, Ellie is even a little, says the trip was the idea of Mitchell.  There will be a presentation by the wall, when he returned to school,  he said.

After making good progress, allow the wall to visit some of the villagers to lead the Friends of the house. The mother of the family invites us to his house, which is modest, tidy, stone, replacing the old wood. Corn drying in the sun and small children show us how to have fun flying cicadas related pieces of cotton. Although WinCE, remind us that console games here after I back from sichuan lantern festival in zigong.

Finally the bag village, we have a steep path through the sun dappled forest. This is a difficult climb, and I wonder how men in battle gear climbed the hills, and always fights to save energy. Finally, let the hill, and it is time for lunch in the Tower of Wanjinglou for the summit of Mount Simatai, the highest point of the wall.
After a well deserved break, we wander the strip as the heat of summer begins to feel its effects. This has reserve will be exhausted and China enjoy a cold beer. There are 11 in our group, two Britons, four Australians and five Americans, four of us over 45 years.
I know that it takes a long time to make new friends.

The next night, camping near the village of Houchuan feel something of rural China. Donkeys graze lazily, an elderly farmer tending his goats, with long white hair, and there are old stone houses with straw roofs and gravel, and fields full of wheat. It is a world away from Beijing.
Our Chinese host family ensures our shooting scenes, the wash water and drinks and appetizers before cooking delicious food. We quickly developed a sense of camaraderie, Ken streamline communication difficulties. Ellie shows that the amount of corn makes a perfect shower curtain. From this point each of us at the head, the larger bowl like a dragon lantern in hot water behind the ears, we find, before joining the group and refreshed as if we had hot water. Well, maybe not enough.

Aprs une nuit reposante, nous continuerons notre voyage vers les crtes des monts Yanshan, qui font pour des vues spectaculaires, mais aussi quelques montes mmorable. After some time, said the levels of street and Ken that the destruction was evident in sections of the wall, wrought by zealous Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution of 1966, raging against anything Imperial. Now, the excesses of the 1960s has been replaced by wildflowers.

Next Jinshanling wall, which incorporates a reconstructed section of the spectrum, where watchtowers and neat turrets show how the wall will be considered at its peak. It is impressive, but it is a pity if it is built too many new wall, and the wildest, most remote parts lose their charm, authentic ruins. During the day, we saw that 60 Western tourists – very different from the earthquake, popular sections of the wall.

We are near the village of Jinshanling, a small house of our host family from the first two nights with the transfer of equipment and we’ve come, tents and started to prepare a delicious meal. While we, the peasants whose land would camp is our journey of family members who care for us. They prepare dishes of chicken and pork with noodles and vegetable choices, and although some of us stick to the Chinese beer, I and the English couple, Ruth and Colin, the sample of Great Wall Chinese red delicious wines.

The next morning load our bags on a bike trailer – is a great package with a single day – and head along the section Gubeikou, a wall with the wild overgrown trails, watchtowers and crumbling stone ruins. We believe that for lunch, rest from heat to cold, like a tower, which was looted stone Japanese in the Second World War.

Going further, we follow the leading provider of single file along a narrow lane with a fall on both sides. Here, our group spreads out a little, and it is time for solitary reflection. Although the walls, not a pretty picture, as in Jinshanling, ruins give a sense of time passing and we can only speculate on the isolation and misery of May 14th century, the Chinese garrison of soldiers against the wall.

The next day packaged under the 1000-year-old Song Dynasty wall before Gubeikou main section of the Defense Ming. Charge tours along the edges and will announce the biggest challenge for us, an insanely steep section in which one remains firmly in place in five stages, slides and others like us in our journey towards the top. Someone read the statement of the Chairman Mao:  Who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a real man and gone.

But one mile later, the wall is impermeable, and get another bush track in trying to reach the next round.
If the piece disappears in the thick undergrowth, we have no choice but to camp, which looks at the night a violent storm, peace of mind. Shortly after that passed, we heard voices and doors of cars and visitors are charged the local police. Once they left, Ken assured us all we wanted to check  no foreigners  injured by the storms.

The next morning, we visited a small church in honor Gubeikou Yang Ye, a famous 10th century Song dynasty, the general defended attacks by nomads from the north, and worshiped as a god of war. Then, travel by bus south-west, half way back to Beijing, where we reach the Great Wall at Mutianyu, which historically served as a defensive position north of the freezing of funds. The reconstruction was completed in 1989 and is a popular destination for hordes of tourists from Beijing who do not want that even more people at the Battle of Badaling.

A cable car takes us instead of us walking the steep forest paths, and we see more people than we used to. The paths, and even top to bottom, here is a lot easier. Snaking his way through the landscape is characterized by the wall war walls and towers on the peaks overlap. Pine and cypress green field, everything is just perfect opportunities.

But the team went wild sections of the wall and climbed the distant country, Mutianyu in summer camp. Then we take the gondola down? Of course not. Too easy. We go there in the Lantern Festival.

Dates in the U.S. year of birth of Jesus Christ means, for example, 1977 1977 year of Christ after his birth. This represents a linear perception of time by establishing a procedure in a straight line from past to present and future. In traditional China, dating methods were cyclical, cyclical meaning that repeated from time to time for any reason. A popular method that people reflected this cyclical method of recording years, the twelve signs. Each year is assigned an animal name or brand according to a repeating cycle: Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Therefore, every twelve years the same animal name or brand does not reappear at the Chinese Lantern Festival.

A cultural lights of the zodiac signs in Chinese folklore is that horoscopes are developed around the animal signs, much like monthly horoscopes in the West have different moon signs, Pisces, Aries, etc. For example, a Chinese horoscope forecast in May that someone in the year Horse was born of happy, popular, and loves to compliment others .

These horoscopes are amusing, but not seriously considered the Chinese people.

The animal signs also serve a useful social role, Auckland Lantern Festival to determine the age of humans. Instead of asking directly how old a person, people often ask me to sign what his / her animals. This will put the person’s age within a cycle of 12 years, and with a little common sense, we can deduce the exact age. More often, however, ask people for animals who do not sign a person to calculate the exact numerical age, but simply to know who is older among friends and acquaintances.

Legend Accor ding to Chinese legend, the twelve animals quarreled one day which was the cycle of years the head. The gods were asked to decide and organize a contest held on the opposite bank of the river would be first, and the remaining animals will take years of their arrival.

All the twelve animals gathered on shore and jumped into the unknown to the ox, the rat had jumped on his back. As the ox was about to jump ashore, the rat jumped off the ox and won the race. The pig, who was very lazy, has in the past. Therefore, the Lantern Festival facts is the first year will be the group of animals, the second beef and pork this year.

Zodiac Chart: The rotating cycle of twelve signs are a popular method for naming the years in traditional China. The signs of the animals from each other in a status quo and regularly every twelve years. 1976 was the year of the dragon, and in 1977, the year of the snake.
