    The process of building the Great Wall created problems because it made citizens unhappy, as shown when there was social unrest during the Qin dynasty because of high taxes and forced labor (Langmead and Garnaut 2017). The legacy of literature detailing the suffering caused by the Great Wall also shows the citizens unhappiness and how the Great Wall negatively affected the citizens of ancient China. While the Great Wall was meant to keep dynasties in power longer by controlling the nomads of the steppe (Turnbull 2007, 7), it brought about the ends of the Qin and Han for other reasons. The social unrest caused by the construction of the Qin Great Wall led to the downfall of the Qin dynasty (Langmead and Garnaut 2017), and the cash taxes of the Han dynasty to pay for the Great Wall and the Han’s new form of military to guard the Great Wall and push the Xiongnu back in order to build the wall caused peasants to become indebted to wealthy landlords who would buy the peasants’ grain or give them loans (Lewis 2007, 22). This decentralized the power of the Han and put it in landlords’ hands, which eventually led to the fall of the Han.

    Different periods throughout China’s history have different names, known as dynasties, for the diverse positions within its society. Theoretically, all of the periods are similar, with the government and military officials ranking high in the hierarchy, and the average everyday people being under regular Chinese law. Throughout China’s history, the society has been organized into a hierarchic system of socio-economic classes, known as the four occupations.
