As one of the four Chinese folk legends,Meng Jiangnücrying on the Great Wall is a classic case to explore the image of the Great Wall,which provided rich spiritual nourishment for building a strong sense of community of the Chinese nation.From“crying for sorrow”,“crying for national custom”to“crying for the collapse of the city”,the story of Meng Jiangnücrying for the Great Wall had undergone three important changes.At the same time,the main image of“Meng Jiangnü”experienced a transformation from the ruling class’s will to the folk,which contained the double narrative dimension of folk thought and official will.The image of the Great Wall from the perspective of family was not only shrouded in tragedy,but also revealed the public’s sense of community in pursuit of a better life.It can be said that Meng Jiangnücrying at the Great Wall reflected the ecological civilization concept of interaction and induction between man and nature,and also permeated the religious concept of integrated development.The philosophical thought of harmony between man and nature and the religious concept of diversified development together constituted the community consciousness of Meng Jiangnücrying at the Great Wall.
