All of the above explanations contribute to why early Chinese civilizations and dynasties thrived for thousands of years with little outside influence. The Great Wall prevented invasions and provided a strong defense against external threats. China's natural barriers, such as mountains and deserts, also acted as obstacles for invasions, making it difficult for outside forces to enter the country. Additionally, being surrounded by water on all sides contributed to China's protection from potential invaders. Lastly, the Chinese civilization was largely self-sufficient, providing for its own needs and not relying heavily on trade for goods and resources.
