Another time travel, I like to go off the beaten track, I like to travel, I like to walk alone when I’m tired, listen to, look at the mountains, the scenery, the flowers, the people. I like to talk and laugh with like-minded people, I like to stare at the mountains and listen to interesting people telling stories, listen to the elderly talk about their experiences, all of which have taught me a lot.

This time it was purely to enjoy the flowers, the whole trip was about 8-9 kilometers, which was not difficult for me, but the ups and downs were quite big, the steps of the Great Wall were repaired very high, so high that I could not step up, I had to climb using both hands and feet. I thought to myself, ancient people were not well-nourished, how could they grow so tall? Did ancient people also have ridiculously long legs? Were ancient soldiers also so handsome? It’s unbelievable, every time I crossed the steps that were submerged to my knees, I imagined what the ancient people looked like, the length from their knees to their ankles probably reached my waist, ridiculously long legs, long arms, swan neck, these beautiful adjectives were originally used to describe ancient people, not modern people. Was the ancient conscription system based on height only, no short people were allowed? Were there no short people in ancient times? The more I thought about it, the more excited I got, I couldn’t control myself, haha, I laughed out loud.

The remaining damage, a little sad

Seeing the damage, an unstable era, an era of war, an era of hunger, what did the emperor rely on to conquer the world, stabilize society, and develop the country?

I think it is not only wisdom, but also spiritual beliefs to consolidate oneself, infect the people, very great, in that era, they could still develop society, the supreme ruler was not easy, the people at that time were not easy either, life was not easy at all.

Through the small window, you can see the big world

I stayed here for a long time, I was the person in the window, just a small atom, a microbe in the vast world, cautiously looking at the outside world through the small “window”, I dared not blink, because I was afraid that the next moment, the door to the world would close, and I would not be able to see it, I was afraid that the scenery, the mountains, would move away in an instant, I was afraid that the small river water would turn black in an instant, or dry up, I couldn’t bear to see the life in the water struggling to death, it was hard to accept, the world is equal, all things are equal. I hope to live in harmony with the world.

This passage is a bit long

There are “windows” on all four walls, the ancient soldiers, two people guarding one window, watching the enemy situation outside, if they found something amiss, they would also send a signal, each signal represented a different meaning, because each beacon tower was some distance away, if you relied on shouting, you would be exposed. There were also various coded flag signals and sign languages, the wisdom of the ancient people is beyond the imagination of modern people, it’s unbelievable. I have been to the Great Wall before, whether it is the Water Great Wall or the Badaling Great Wall, I never thought about such detailed things, at that time there were also many tourists, I just kept climbing up.

Looking back, it’s really steep

This is the most congested place, I did not go down from the middle, at that time shoulder to shoulder, too many people, I went down from the side, although it was a little dangerous, but it was very exciting, of course, with friends helping, otherwise I, this little short leg, would not be able to get to the next step.

Eating tools

On the journey, you really can’t compare, when we were making a fire, the young couple next to us said: I think what we brought is enough, I didn’t expect there would be something more sumptuous than ours, you really can’t compare, once you compare, there are thousands of injuries.

Some people also brought tea sets and drank tea at the highest point, it was very comfortable, but I didn’t take any pictures, so that’s it, I have to work. Looking forward to the next outdoor trip.
