Eastern Wei Dynasty Great Wall (534-550)
Eastern Wei Dynasty Great Wall was built in 543. It ran about 75 kilometers from now Jing’le County to Chunyang County of Shanxi Province.
The Northern Wei divided into Eastern and Western Wei. To prevent intrusion by the Rouran, in 543 the Eastern Wei built a section of the Great Wall from today’s Jingle County to Chunyang County of Shanxi Province, stretching about 75 kilometers (47 miles). While not very long; it is the passage through which northern nomadic peoples entered China. The Eastern Wei built this section of the Great Wall to consolidate the northern boundary and to prevent intrusion by nomadic people.
