This wall is called zhaobi. It is a unique part of traditional architecture in China. It was particularly popular in the Ming Dynasty, generally speaking, it was shielding in the gate. The ancients called it "Xiaoqiang". So there is a small wall. In the past, people thought that ghosts would visit their houses constantly and build a wall to block the path of ghosts. Because it is said that children can only walk in a straight line and can't turn. Another view is that Zhaobi is a unique architectural form in China influenced by Feng Shui consciousness, which is called "shadow wall" or "shadow wall".
