Battle of Aru Sea.

On Monday, January 15, 1962 the heroic events in the history of the Aru Sea. At that time, there has been a battle at sea between three Navy warships Gen. (then still called the Navy or Navy of the Republic of Indonesia) with three Royal Navy warships Netherlands.

At these events the Navy warship that sank Tutul Matjan RI and the deaths resulted Deputy Navy Chief Commodore Josaphat Soedarso I along with about 25 crew (Ship's Men) RI Matjan Tutul. The next event is remembered as the "Battle of Aru Sea".

Events "Aru Sea Battle" that occurred 45 years ago is the impact and confrontation Indonesia - Netherlands due to West Irian dispute or that we now know as Irian Jaya. It stems from the denial Netherlands Government to restore West Irian into the lap of the Homeland, although it has been agreed in the Roem-Royen 1949. So finally Indonesia then peal Tri Command of the People or abbreviated Trikora that essentially demanded the return of West Irian in various ways, including by the deployment of military forces.

This means feud between Indonesia and the Netherlands entered a new stage that is out of phase diplomacy into a confrontation in all areas. In order to equip and modernize its military forces, Indonesia "bought" a large number of combat equipment from various countries, among others, the Soviet Union, Fedarasi Republic of Germany (West Germany), Italy and Yugoslavia. One type of military equipment were brought in to strengthen the ranks of the Navy Fleet warships are kind of MTB (Motor Torpedo Boat) Class Jaguar from West Germany. Warships of this type have the ability to fire anti-ship torpedoes surface.

In order to carry out infiltration operations (infiltration), which aims to incorporate a number of guerrilla forces to the Cendrawasih Earth, the Navy deployed four warships types of MTB, which RI Matjan Tutul, RI Matjan Beetle, RI Tiger and RI Lion. Because it is prepared to transport troops, the main armament warship mainstay of this type of MTB that torpedo, forced to "sacrifice" aka stripped so that the vessel has a larger space. It is fatal when they are forced to deal with the enemy warship.

Of the four MTB, there are only three were able to move up into the waters of West Irian, because RI Lions suffered engine damage. But on the way exactly in the position of 4.49 degrees south and 135.2 degrees eastern third of the MTB Navy intercepted three Navy warships. Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Destroyer Class Province Hr.Ms. Utrecht, frigate Hr. Ms. Evertsen and Corvette Hr.Ms. Kortenaer.

Before the two parties hostile passed, two maritime reconnaissance aircraft AL Netherlands types Neptune and Firefly had already caught MTB Navy and subsequently send news to their ship. As a result, there was gunfire in the middle of the ocean in Aru Sea. Realizing that the force is not balanced, the third MTB Navy intends to dodge, but the three enemies do not let them get away with it. In order to protect two other ships, RI Matjan Tutul maneuver to move forward in a straight line directly toward Hr.Ms Evertsen.

This maneuver is considered a threat, because it is a sign that the ship will launch a rocket-torpedo torpedo her. As a result, KRI Matjan Tutul was shot intensively until finally sinking. Most of the crew RI Matjan Tutul fall and partly taken prisoner by the Dutch. Meanwhile, two other Navy MTB-managed melolos himself and arrived at the base safely.

Meaning Hari Darma ocean.

Although January 15 is the day of the event Aru Sea Battle, but actually that date also represents a number of other naval battle ever undertaken by the heroes of the Navy. Long before the events Aru, some naval battle that never happened among other Cirebon Naval Battle (1947) and the Battle of the Gulf of Sibolga (1947).

Even if the draw far backward, ie since the days before the independence of Indonesia, have also been a number of sea battles, like the Battle of Malacca (1511) between the Portuguese fleet Pati Unus, Naval Battle of Sunda Kelapa (1512) between the fleet Fata-Hillah with Portuguese and more again.

Thus it can be said that January 15 is "the soul or spirit of" sacrifice of the entire maritime fighters who have fought to defend the sovereignty of this country from time to time. This is the true meaning of Hari Darma ocean. Indeed, in the millennium which all modern and sophisticated, it seems difficult to happen a naval battle as never experienced in the past. Currently, two naval force impossible when fighting would be in a position to each other face to face. It may even destroy each other two forces and a great distance, because it uses radar and satellite technology.

There are many lessons to be learned from the various sea battles that have occurred in Indonesia. Wisdom is not only about sea battles and the spirit of sacrifice of the perpetrators of the history, but more than that which concerns the existence and sovereignty of a country. It is inevitable, that a battle or armed incidents may occur because one of the parties breaches the territory illegally or forcibly. For example, how the South Korean Navy sank the few mini submarines and surface ships suspected of belonging to North Korean infiltration or espionage activities around the territorial waters of the coast of South Korea.

Or how the weapons incident between Navy patrol boat People's Republic of China to the Philippine Navy patrol boat occurred, in waters Spratley Islands are claimed as territory of each party. In Indonesia, although the weapon or shooting incident did not happen, but tensions to occur when the number of warships of the Royal Malaysian Navy military aircraft infringement action in the territory of Ambalat in the Sulawesi Sea. At that time a number of warships and air units of the Navy with the concentration of troops immediately deployed in the oil-rich waters.

Navy's decisive action based on that what happens in Ambalat, and perhaps also in other areas, it is a matter of how to defend the sovereignty and integrity of the Republic. Even to "prove" to Malaysia will be Indonesia's seriousness in maintaining Ambalat, President RI Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was present directly in the area until they become disputes.

In addition, a number of warships the Navy is also actively repel and intercept any ship approaching desperate Malaysia. At first glance these measures are proven effective, because then Malaysia to withdraw its ships and aircraft, as well as willing to be present at the negotiating table. But behind all that, there are issues that will always be potentially an act of annexation of parts of the Homeland by neighboring countries, namely the issue of maritime borders. Indonesia does not seem serious to resolve the problem with sea borders with neighboring countries.

Even further, Sobar Sutisna, Head Boundary Mapping Coordinating Agency for Survey and Mapping (Bakor-surtanal), adding that it is also not there is a pressure on the parties concerned in Indonesia.

Ironically, this kind of problem does not only occur in the Ambalat, but also in other border areas, such as the Strait of Malacca, Singapore Straits, the waters of the Natuna Islands and more.

A number of "homework (PR)" regarding the territorial sea boundary NKRI been waiting for the Indonesian government and the Navy as a state defense force at sea. This is compounded by the international recognition of the outermost regions in Indonesian waters called Indonesian Exclusive Economic Zone (ZEEI). If, territorial sea boundary problem into the sovereign territory of Indonesia as the largest archipelago in the world, is still not seen as a serious problem, so do not be surprised if one day there is no such case Ambalat or annexation.

For the Navy, perhaps what ever fought by the maritime fighters in the past in defending the country's sovereignty, can be a reflection to further enhance the capabilities and strength of its elements in order to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Indonesia. In addition, the Navy is also expected to be a kind of force of pressure for the government to be more assertive in resolving the problem of the territorial sea, so there is no longer the Homeland "lost" or "looted" by other countries.

Beware of Dangers Latent Communists.

Outlook on life, philosophy of the nation and the nation of Indonesia is the Pancasila ideology. Putting Pancasila as the State which is the ancestral heritage of Indonesia and used as the order of life in religious life, society and state.

The contents of Pancasila are as follows :

Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa,
Kemanusiaan yang adil dan beradab,
Persatuan Indonesia,
Kerakyatan yang dipimpin oleh hikmah kebijaksaaan dalam permusyawaratan perwakilan,
Keadilan sosial bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia.

Ever-present threat and has repeatedly tried to change the understanding of Pancasila with other than Pancasila understand, understand that contrary to Pancasila is understood Atheism. Atheism is understood that does not recognize the existence of God Almighty. Saxon has always wanted to strive to replace Pancasila understood primarily in terms of art and culture of Indonesian people, other philosophies which often seeks to undermine Pancasila is understood communism which is extremely cunning and endanger the established order. Communism is derived from the state of the Soviet Union and tried to infiltrate the Indonesian nation.

Countries emerging feel threatened by communism, because it is an enemy to understand the world and not just the enemy of the Indonesian nation. Communism aspires to communize world, to the struggle of the communist party has not completed before the whole world followed the communist ideology. Communists tried to instill their respective ideologies into the lives of Indonesian people always failed, they tried to replace Pancasila became communist ideology developed by the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). In the historical development of Indonesian struggle proved Communist Party has repeatedly physically coup that aim clearly will replace Pancasila ideology become communist ideology.

Struggles they always fail and fail again because it is like a person abolish customs while the habit has become a way of life and has been flowing in the joint life of the nation. PKI rebellion in Madiun in 1948, they failed because the majority of the people do not support such understanding, there is a small percentage of people who had garnering and their average due to economic factors or factors influence the stomach. Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) is still trying hard to destroy and undermine the Pancasila ideology with the ideology of communism peak in 1965 in the event of the G 30 S / PKI. But again, their efforts can be thwarted mainly by the military together with the People.

History shows that whenever there are undermining the existence of Pancasila, the TNI is the leading element which is always upright nurturing and protecting Pancasila and the undermining of any threats from any party. This is in accordance with sound oath that the TNI as a patriot nation of Indonesia as a protector and defender of Indonesian people who are responsible and do not know surrender. Thus the military must be Garda forefront to eradicate and destroy anyone who tries to undermine, disrupt, weaken and replace the ideology of Pancasila with other ideology.

Even the most actual on 12 April 2012 found problems at school national exams that lead to the spread of communism to the students. However, the relevant agencies responsible have not been following up the incident. But the positive side should we take from this incident is indeed true latent danger of communism had to be wary of. It is reminded that all components of the Indonesian people always careful and cautious because it is consistent with the objectives of the communist party is communize world.

The communist party will not stop trying in any way, by any method, they seek to instill their ideology to every person and always tried before the world is becoming a communist. For that all elements of the nation and the people must always be vigilant and remind each other about the latent danger of communism. Communists always miserable and cause suffering, stupidity for the Indonesian nation. TNI must provide forms of training to other elements of the nation so that people have the personal resilience, community groups and nationally in defending Pancasila as a way of life and the life of the Indonesian people, it is necessary for the subject matter of the latent danger of communism in reminding the next generation a nation which later they will lead the Indonesian nation in the future.

Need inclusion of curriculum on the latent danger of communism to students kindergarten level up to college so that they as future leaders who will be manning the government and society will fill in the future have a basic knowledge of who the communists understand what brought about when the communist traitors and undermine the State Indonesia anywhere communist implement the action and why it happened so that the communist uprising young generation of Indonesia in the future will be more mature and more aware and capable of independently in warding off any threat of disruption obstacles and challenges caused by the communist party ideology will always instill country Indonesia.

Communist latent danger is the appropriate sentence and is still relevant to the development of today's government because in every society and state activities are still their slogans, reading and terms that lead to the revival of communism in this beloved country Indonesia. For the latent danger of communism it is necessary to watch out because there will always be around us.

The great Wall of China.

Having a length of the Great Wall of China around 7,000 kilometers in the hills of China in which there is the history of China Life and make it into the Seven Wonders of the World. Wall of China is indeed Long Along with its manufacture.

History of the Great Wall of China.

Development History along the Lake Wall of China Great Wall can be searched until the 9th century BC. At that time the Chinese government in the middle of the fort and lighthouse connect into one long wall. The connection is a point guard troops on the border with the aim to more easily determine the existence of a particular ethnic attacks coming from the northern part of China.

At the time of Chunqiu leader many very warlike kingdom and the kingdom's leaders Building Walls Around the large hill and mountains borders to avoid impromptu attack of the enemy.

In the year 221 BC, On the orders of Emperor Qinshihuang walls are united and made one big wall to defend the area against nomadic ethnic cavalry in the Mongolian grasslands located in North China. and has a length of about 5000 Kilo meter.

In the reign of Qin dynasty, China back wall extended to reach 10,000 kilometers more. In the annals of the construction of the wall of china, has spent more than 2000 years with businessmen changed at various times that never stopped the building of the wall until it reaches a total length of 50,000 kilometers. This is a very fantastic lengths he even this is enough to go around the earth once.

A third section of the Great Wall of China Have Been Missing.

Approximately one third of the Great Wall of China disappear because of natural conditions or because of vandalism. One form of destruction is stealing the bricks of the Great Wall to be used as building a house.

Damage at the Great Wall is not only happening in one location, but also appeared in some parts of the coast Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan on the edge of the Gobi Desert. Most of the construction of buildings were destroyed, while, at some point, the plant meets the wall so as to accelerate the destruction. Similarly, The Beijing Times daily reports.

"Although a number of sections of the wall is made of brick and stone, this wall could not withstand the onslaught of rain and wind," said Dong Yaohui, Vice President of the Society of the Great Wall of China, told the Beijing Times.

"Many towers are increasingly shaky and likely to collapse when it rains summer winds hit," added Yaohui.

In addition, tourist activities and residents took part in adding to the damage that the longest man-made structure in the world. Villagers in the area of ​​Lulong, Hebei province, used to always take the bricks gray from the Great Wall to be used to build their homes.

Meanwhile, slice the bricks from the Great Wall of China which include engraving letters sold at a price of 30 yuan, or about US $ 65,000 by the local residents.

Actually, according to Chinese law, anyone who steals a part of the Great Wall can be subject to a fine of 5,000 yuan or USD 10.7 million. Similarly, the government-owned daily reported, the Global Times.

"Unfortunately, no organizations to enforce this rule. Damage can only be reported to the higher authorities, and very difficult to solve the problem when it occurs in the border provinces," Jia said Hailin, ancient objects protection department officials in Hebei.

Construction of the Great Wall of China first started in the year 3 BC. The damaged area, part of a wall along nearly 6,300 kilometers was built during the Ming Dynasty in 1368 to 1644, including what is now the most visited tourist attractions.

Great Wall of China or the Great Wall of China is one of the masterpieces of world architecture. His name is famous in all countries, to become a favorite tourist destination. But if you already know where the end of the Great Wall of China? The Great Wall of China as built beyond the limits of human ability. Celebration and tragedy dye making, two thousand years ago, during the Qing Dynasty. This wall was built on the orders of China's first emperor Qin Shi Huang, namely, to protect the Chinese Empire. It took decades, ie from 220-206 BC to complete this giant wall. This Chinese wall extends more than 20,000 kilometers, splitting the vast plains of China. So where the end of this castle? In addition to the Top Lake in the west, the other end is in Shanhaiguan. Located in eastern China, Shanhaiguan was dubbed as the Old Dragon's Head or also called Laolongtou. Ends exactly protrudes into the Bohai Sea. The place is so tourist destination because it is perched on a watchtower and a temple.

You Know Wall of China.

The Great Wall of China or the Great Wall of China (traditional hanzi: 長城; hanzi simple: 长城; pinyin: Changcheng, meaning literally: Wall Length), also known in China by the name of Wall Along the 10,000 Li¹ (萬里長城; 万里长城; Wanli Changcheng) is The longest building ever built, is located in China.
The Great Wall of China is considered as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. In 1987, the building was included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Long.

The Great Wall of China is not a continuous length, but a collection of short walls that follow the shape of the mountains of northern China. On April 18, 2009, after an investigation by the government accurately the People's Republic of China, announced that the giant wall constructed in the Ming Dynasty period length is 8851 km.
According to historical records, after a long wall built by the Ming, then known term "changcheng" (长城, "Great Wall" or "long wall"). Previous term was not found. The term of the Great Wall of China in Mandarin is "Wanli changcheng", meaning "wall that are 10 thousand li". At the present time the term is officially used.
In 2009, the Surveying and Mapping Agency and the Agency for Cultural Heritage Administration of the People's Republic of China to do research to re-calculate the length of the Great Wall of China. The results showed that the Great Wall of China is longer than the range that is currently known. According to measurements, the overall length of the walls reach 8,850 km. The project has also found parts of other wall 359 km in length, trench along 2232 km, as well as a natural barrier such as hills and rivers along the 2232 km. The average span of the Great Wall of China is 5000 km, generally quoted from various historical records.

Seen from space.

Great Wall of China was mentioned as one of the man-made structure visible from space with the naked eye. However, after an investigation conducted by the astronauts, the perception is not correct. From a low orbit, man-made structure such as roads, ships, cities and others can indeed be seen, but at the time the Earth passes through the orbit of the tens of thousands of feet high, none of objects on the Earth's surface can be seen, including the Great Wall of China , This is corroborated by NASA statement: "The Greatwall can barely be seen from the Shuttle, so it would not be possible to see it from the moon with the naked eye".
"The Great Wall of China is barely visible from the air Capsules (space), so it may not be visible from the moon to the naked eye"
Launched the first Chinese astronaut in space in 2004, Yang Li-wei, also stated that he could not see the building.
Perceptions about the invisibility of the giant wall of space has become a myth, even written into school textbooks in China. The earliest evidence comes from the writings of British antiques collector named William Stukeley in 1754 which compares the Great Wall of China with Hadrian's Wall in England by stating that Hadrian's Wall in England can only be defeated by the Great Wall of China, which is an important building in the world, so that it could be visible from the moon ("This mighty wall of four score Miles in length is only exceeded by the Chinese wall, the which makes a Considerable figure upon the terrestrial globe, and may be discerned at the moon.") The book by Richard Halliburton, an American adventurer in 1938, entitled "Second Book of Marvels", making the people believe that giant wall can be seen from space.

History.

Historically, the construction of the wall is one of the most important part in the history of Chinese architecture, namely to restrict urban areas and housing. Various theories why the Great Wall was established, among others, as a bulwark, land ownership boundaries, boundary markers and lines of communication to convey the message.
Based on the written evidence acceptable to the public, basically the majority of the Great Wall of China was constructed in the period of the Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. However, most of such a giant wall that stands today is the result of a period of Sun.

Pre-Qin.

Before the Qin Dynasty period, the earliest construction of a giant wall made in Spring and Autumn period (722 BC-481 BC) and the Warring States Period (453 BC-221 BC) to withstand enemy attacks and tribes of northern China. Countries that contribute to the construction of the first recorded inter alia the country Chu, Qi, Yan, Wei and Zhao. In subsequent periods, giant wall grew longer, repaired and modified.

Qin dynasty.

In the year 220 BC under the command of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, General Meng Tian collect employment of 300 thousand people to connect walls previously as a line of defense. Development takes 9 years require expensive and the expense of ordinary people. Workers who become victims of reaching millions of souls so that the state becomes weak. Hatred of the people on the labor angered farmers who rebelled overthrew the Qin Dynasty. After that, the construction of a giant wall was not continued.

Han dynasty.

The year 127 BC, when Emperor Han Wudi power (140 BC-87 BC), renovation projects and construction parts old wall was conducted over 20 years adds to the overall length of the wall to 1000 km. In the first period of the Han, giant wall serves as a protector of the western region of the United Hun is threatening the Chinese people. After the Hun influence weakened, the construction of the wall was not continued. Beginning in 39 AD, on the orders of Guang Wudi, general Ma Cheng restart construction of the Great Wall project. At that time, the Huns split into two parts, north and south. Northern Huns successfully subdued by Han while the southern part of peace. After that, the construction of a giant wall abandoned because China already has a large military force.

Ming Dynasty.

During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), after conquering Mongols, giant wall constructed back from the previous period, with a long record of 5,650 km. At this time, the Great Wall of China is divided into 9 districts equipped military fortifications and the gate to monitor the border area. On it made the road as a transportation hub. The most eastern gate named Shanhaiguan and most western gate called Jiayuguan.

Architecture.

Beacon.

Beacon or fenghuotai (烽火台) is used to convey military messages by making smoke signals during the day and fire by night to notify the movements of the enemy. Is one of the most important parts of the Great Wall, the structure is made in every part of the giant wall with local materials. In mountainous areas, composed of bricks, in grassland or desert made of clay. Shape can be round, oval and square. There are 3 types of beacon, which is the type that is built on top of the wall, the wall or built separately for lurking enemy.

The gate (slit).

The structure of the gate to function as a fortress in important positions. Composed of:
Chengqiang or stockade (城墙), with a maximum height of 10 meters. The outer part is made of large bricks or granite. The inside is made of yellow soil or a mixture of gravel. The top of the wall can be traversed horsemen. The side walls are square-shaped protective wall as a place to oversee and shelter.
Chenglou or tower gate (城楼) : the door to enter and exit the border, as a discharge while attacking enemy forces. Gates named after the pass.
Wangcheng : small on the outside wall of the great wall that serves as a protective gate.
Luocheng : second wall to protect wengcheng.
Trenches and drains in to slow the movement of enemies, giving the opportunity to strike quickly.

Wall.

The wall is the main body of the giant wall architecture. Its function is to connect the flare tower, watchtowers and gates into a defensive line. Height depending on the shape of the plains. At the strategic areas made higher. At the time of crossing the mountains or areas with uneven shapes made as low as possible to save on materials and labor. An average of 23-26 foot high wall.

Critical parts on the wall :

Nuqiang (女 牆) :

Protective wall on the upper side of the wall structure. Built to protect soldiers and horses on the wall. If the giant wall across the side of a steep mountain, just built one piece nuqiang to save material.

Duokou (垛口) :

Slotted wall to spy. Doukou is still covered by a protective layer of the wall again.

Racecourse :

The footpath next to the lookout that could be passed riders to reach the top of the wall.

Quanmen :

Curved door on the inside wall as the entrance to the top of the wall.

Material.

The material used to create a giant wall of disparate corresponding period of the dynasty. Before the bricks are found, a large wall made of earth, stone and wood. Due to its construction always requires a lot of resources, workers utilizing improvised materials. As it passes through the mountain, the mountain stone will be used.  At the time of building on flat land, a wall made of loose soil made and if through the wilderness, the material used is a mix of sand and grass twigs of coniferous trees. The wall of this material is brittle, easily penetrated and quickly destroyed.
At the time of the Qin Dynasty, the technology has not been developed, so that the material used is dirt or gravel mixed soil. At that time the castle structure has not been established. Some parts of the wall consists of a large mound of stones.
At the time of the Han Dynasty, soil and rock material as the previous period is still commonly used.
During the Tang Dynasty, bricks have been produced. However, because it is expensive, is limited to the city gates and walls that close.
Only in the Ming Dynasty, the wall construction technology is more advanced. However, only in the middle period of the dynasty quality bricks manufactured. Bricks better than soil or gravel because it is lighter, more resistant and effective load in a short time. Stone still used, mainly for the foundation, outer suburbs and the gate due to stronger than a brick. Limestone mortar with sticky rice that can be effective as a cement glue the bricks.

The new discovery.

In recent years began to find some walls in areas of China that is unattainable. In 1998, the site was found near one of the walls in the silk road between the provinces of Gansu and Xinjiang. The walls were built of yellow sandy soil and twigs Eucalyptus marginata has a length of 500 km, including solid bastion. This discovery adds to the length of the Great Wall to 2,700 km.
The deserts in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region who move around a lot, also has opened up parts of the wall and fortress construction Sun
The discovery of the inscription which contains the writing carved in various regions of China around the walls became an important source of written historical documentation of the construction of the Great Wall of China. The earliest inscription is inscribed Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577). Ming Dynasty inscription found in Beijing and Hebei province, but the danger of being corrupted or lost due to rain, wind, erosion and environmental damage.
In the study, GPS and infrared technology used can help detect some parts that were buried by sandstorms. New parts found are the result of the construction of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) which extends from Hu Mountain in northern Liaoning province to Jiayu Cracks in the western province of Gansu. The project also charted parts of the wall which was established at the time of the Qin (221-206 BC) and Han (206 BC-9M).

Damage and maintenance.

Although it is a protected site, the Great Wall of China suffered a lot of damage, mostly due to the haphazard development of infrastructure, the theft of artifacts of stone inscriptions and parts of the wall and repairs done haphazardly.
Conservation report in early 2004 reported that only 1/3 of a length of 6,350 km wall that is still preserved, making the range of wall "shorter". Many people around the ancient sites do not know they stay close together because of views on a giant wall of fortress architecture solid Ming, but the actual condition of the Great Wall of China is not uniform. Residents around the Great Wall bricks to build houses and livestock enclosures.
The wall that was outside of Beijing is the most threatened, as in the provinces of Shaanxi and Ningxia. Of the 2,000 km range of the wall in the province of Shaanxi, 1/3 of 850 km from the Ming structures have disappeared due to infrastructure development and industrial activity. A total of 40 holes penetrated the wall by the road for vehicles.
Meanwhile, the Great Wall in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region which has a length of 1500 km is established from various periods ranging from the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty is part susceptible to vandalism such as broken vehicle lanes and erosion.
Efforts and renovation projects have been carried out by the People's Republic of China government in order to repair the damage. One way open Studies majors Wall (长城 学; Changchengxue) in local universities. This study is a new branch of Chinese history are being developed to attract the attention of archaeologists and young researchers to trace the history of the giant wall and preservation.
