The Jin Great Wall, constructed by the Jurchen people, an ethnic minority in ancient China, was primarily built for defense against the Mongols. This was another significant addition to the Great Wall following the Sui Dynasty. The Jin Great Wall is also known as the "Jin Jiehao" due to its reliance on moats (called Jiehao in Chinese) as its main defensive structure.
