Q4. Read the following passage and answer the following questions.(10
Marks
Walls and wall building have played a very important role in Chinese culture. These people,
from the dim mists of prehistory have been wall-conscious; from the Neolithic period –
when
ramparts of pounded earth were used - to the Communist Revolution, walls were an essential
part of any village. Not only towns and villages; the houses and the temples within them were
somehow walled, and the houses also had no windows overlooking the street, thus giving the
feeling of wandering around a huge maze. The name for “city” in Chinese (ch’eng) means
wall, and over these walled cities, villages, houses and temples presides the god of walls and
mounts, whose duties were, and still are, to protect and be responsible for the welfare of the
inhabitants. Thus a great and extremely laborious task such as constructing a wall, which was
supposed to run throughout the country, must not have seemed such an absurdity.

However, it is indeed a common mistake to perceive the Great Wall as a single architectural
structure, and it would also be erroneous to assume that it was built during a single dynasty.
For the building of the wall spanned the various dynasties, and each of these dynasties
somehow contributed to the refurbishing and the construction of a wall, whose foundations
had been laid many centuries ago. It was during the fourth and third century B.C. that each
warring state started building walls to protect their kingdoms, both against one another and
against the northern nomads. Especially three of these states: the Ch’in, the Chao and the
Yen, corresponding respectively to the modern provinces of Shensi, Shanzi and Hopei, over
and above building walls that surrounded their kingdoms, also laid the foundations on which
Ch’in Shih Huang Di would build his first continuous Great Wall.
The role that the Great Wall played in the growth of Chinese economy was an important
one.
Throughout the centuries many settlements were established along the new border. The
garrison troops were instructed to reclaim wasteland and to plant crops on it, roads and canals
were built, to mention just a few of the works carried out. All these undertakings greatly
helped to increase the country’s trade and cultural exchanges with many remote areas
and
also with the southern, central and western parts of Asia – the formation of the Silk
Route.
Builders, garrisons, artisans, farmers and peasants left behind a trail of objects, including
inscribed tablets, household articles, and written work, which have become extremely
valuable archaeological evidence to the study of defense institutions of the Great Wall
and
the everyday life of these people who lived and died along the wall.
