Maintenance and protection of the Great Wall

"The maintenance and protection of the Great Wall is a very important project, which not only consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but also reflects the importance attached to the Great Wall. A great deal of materials and processes are required in the maintenance of the Great Wall.
Lime mortar: As is known to all, lime is a very good building material. In fact, the technology of burning lime has been invented in ancient China. But although with this technology, lime can be made, but the viscosity of lime is undesirable. Even if people think of mixing sand, lime and stones, the effect is not very good, especially in hot and humid places, where the humid environment will make the already weak buildings worse.
