Abstract
The beacon and watchtower system centered around the Great Wall during the Han Dynasty represented a significant and systematic enhancement and perfection of ancient China's beacon and watch system. This scaled and standardized system played a crucial role in the northwest frontier region of ancient China, holding special historical significance for the ancient Chinese border defense.
