Initial walls were constructed as early as the 7th century BC during the Warring States period, with the state of Chu building walls around 680 BC. The Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) connected and expanded these walls, but construction and expansion continued through many dynasties, especially the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD).
