China's former leader Mao Zedong wrote a poem in 1935 during the Long March of the Red Army, passing through the Liupan Mountains in Guyuan, Gansu. The poem mentions the Great Wall, referring to the Qin Great Wall built between 325-251 BC. This wall is one of the oldest Great Walls built in China and has a history of 2,300 years.

Recently, a well-preserved bronze wine vessel was found, providing information about ancient beer production techniques.

The history of the Great Wall dates back to the Qin Dynasty, which ruled from 221-206 BC. The Great Wall is one of the most important structures remaining from that period.
