China tours The Great Wall Postcards

The Great Wall Postcards - Beijing Tours

The Chinese were already familiar with the techniques of wall-building by the time of the Spring and Autumn Period, which began around the 8th century BC.

During the Warring States Period from the 5th century BC to 221 BC, the states of Qin, Wei, Zhao, Qi, Yan and Zhongshan all constructed extensive fortifications to defend their own borders. Built to withstand the attack of small arms such as swords and spears, these walls were made mostly by stamping earth and gravel between board frames.

Hartung's Photo Shop, a German firm based in Peking, was one of the leading establishments for studio portraits and images of Beijing. An originally German woman, Hedda Harrison Morrison, worked there for many years as a photographer.

The Librairie Francaise, a library and a publishing house established by Henry Coston also supplied postcard images of China among major enterprises like its "Documents and Testimony" and the monthly magazine “French Readings.” As with a number of early postcards, paintings like those of Beijing in 1898 by C. Wink made for some of the most beautiful early imagery.

Major Chinese publishers were of course based in Hong Kong, like Lau Ping Kee. Some postcards were made by Chinese immigrants abroad. The individual portraits where the different colors and parts of a person are assembled from hand-cut stamps, for example, were actually made by Chinese immigrant workers in the US. This unusual form of postcard manufacture is unique to Chinese-made postcards a century ago.

Top 10 China attractions-Beijing tours-The Great Wall

The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in northern China, built originally to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire against intrusions by various nomadic groups.

Several walls have been built since the 5th century BC that are referred to collectively as the Great Wall, which has been rebuilt and maintained from the 5th century BC through the 16th century. One of the most famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains; the majority of the existing wall was built during the Ming Dynasty.

The Great Wall stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east, to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia. The most comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has concluded that the entire Great Wall, with all of its branches, stretches for
8,851.8 km (5,500.3 mi). This is made up of 6,259.6 km (3,889.5 mi) sections of actual wall, 359.7 km (223.5 mi) of trenches and 2,232.5 km (1,387.2 mi) of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers.
