A: While the Great Wall is often associated with enclosure, its primary purpose is not isolation but safety and security. Much like a highway, it was built to establish order and protection within and beyond its boundaries. The Wall also facilitates communication through its passes, which are crucial for the exchange of goods and the integration of different ethnic groups.
