千年古风齐长城千年齐长城,千古传其名。2600多年前,诸侯雄起、纷争不断的春秋战国时期,各国纷纷修筑长城,以御强敌。《管子·轻重篇》曰:“长城之阳,鲁也;长城之阴,齐也。”齐国长城各段修筑时间早晚不一,始于春秋时期,至战国齐宣王时修至黄海,基本完成。司马迁《史记·楚世家》载:“齐宣王乘山岭之上筑长城,东至海,西至济洲,千余里以备楚。”齐湣王时全面整修。

The Great Wall of Qi,as a symbol of Chinese civilization,is not only a geographical indication but also a cultural carrier.Despite its rise and fall,the Pass has been military fortress and transportation hub throughout the past dynasties in history.In the 2oth century,it also witnessed the history of the Chinese people's dauntless fighting and resis tance against foreign invasions.Muling Pass can be said to be a symbol of the indomitable spirit of our Chinese nation.
