Where a public servant, such as a magistrate or a general, offended the state, he might be banished to the barren territories beyond the Great Wall.

当公务员，比如行政官员或武将触犯法律时，可能会被流放到荒凉之地，比如长城以外。

Under Qing rule, China's borders extended beyond the walls and Mongolia was annexed into the empire, so construction and repairs on the Great wall were discontinued.

在清朝统治下，中国的边界一直延伸到长城之外和蒙古，所以建造和维修长城的工事被停止。
