Abstract

A report on the study of the resources of the Great Wall of Yan, Qin and Han in Liaoning(2017) confirmed the overall distribution of the Great Wall of Yan, Qin and Han. Great Wall of Yan, Qin and Han reaches the west bank of the Yalu River in the east and is connected to the Daeryunggang jangseong Fortress in the northwest of the Korean Peninsula. In fact, most of the relics mentioned as the resources of the Great Wall in the Liaodong area are not the long walls of the generals we think of, but beacons, cellars, and relics scattering sites. This is because the concept of the Great Wall has recently expanded to include related auxiliary facilities by regarding the Great Wall as a defense system. However, it was difficult to find an answer in the report to whether the beacon towers, which account for most of the resources of the Great Wall in the Liaodong area, served as defense facilities. In addition, currency cellar sites and relic scattering sites are also considered to be related to the Great Wall, like beacon towers, but currency, a product of trade, can be owned by local people, and relic scattering sites cannot directly reveal the existence of the Great Wall. If the currency cellar sites or relic scattering sites are connected to the Great Wall, several Great Wall lines can be assumed in the Liaodong area. Iis also difficult to assume a relationship with the Great Wall in terms of time and location. In addition, it is difficult to find concrete evidence of the continuous use of the resources of the Great Wall emphasized in the report. The issue of using the relics related to the Great Wall is all the more important because it serves as an logical basis for advancing the date of numerous Han Dynasty ruins to the Yan, Qin period. However, it is still difficult to trust as most cases rely on somewhat non-archaic reasoning. Therefore, it is thought that logical reinforcement through more archaeological data is still necessary to reveal the reality of the Great Wall in the Liaodong area.
