From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
長城,起臨洮至遼東,延袤萬餘里。多云秦始皇築之,然實非其一人所為也。昭王時,已於隴西北地上郡,築長城以固邊矣。亦非盡秦築也,趙起自代并陰山下,至高闕為塞。燕自造至襄平,亦皆築長城矣。秦之後若魏、若北齊、若隋、若明亦皆築焉。
蓋天以山川險隘限人,有所不足,增而補之,亦不為過。且有為民之意存焉。使後之人懲秦人,起閭左之失,慮蒙恬絕地脈之禍,而廢其已成之功,非計也。但內政不修,而區區於外侮之禦,乃至於竭天下之財,以興無已之功,則不知所務耳。
夫千百年來,夷狄屢犯,長城屢毀,其址多易,今殘存者,明之所修也,起嘉峪而迄山海,亦越萬里耳。
