The Great Wall was chosen as China's number one repair project and funds began to be appropriated. The first passes to be repaired were Juyongguan, [P 001 / Badaling] and Shanhaiguan. Jiayuguan Pass was repaired later. The People's Republic of China was not prepared to put the wall on show though, and sought new Chinese symbols to go with the society it was attempting to create. This gave rise to modern symbols, of which the wall was not one.
