// One of the languages spoken in China is Mandarin.

Chinese people use a different kind of money called Yuan.

The Chinese Flag has a red background with one big star in the corner and four stars around it. // //The red stands for the Chines revolution.The big star stands for communist government,and the little stars stand for the people of China.//

When they first made the Great Wall of China it was made of soil, and over time it weathered and the wind was blowing it down.So what did the Emperor do, he made it out of stone.Now this took time and money so the Emperor needed it .He taxed the people of China more and more to have enough. Now don't get the wrong picture, these people that were making this VERY long wall did NOT walk up to the Emperor and say "may I help?" No the Emperor draged these men away from their familys and he forsed them to carry big heavy bricks hundreds of miles.From the very begining to the very end it took about 1871 years to bulid the wall.The wall streches way more then 4,000 miles! In some places it is 15 feet tall, but the tallest places it was 30 feet tall.
