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.
