my first read of the title was 'chinese bacon tower'

The tower sets both smoke and fire so they can smoke the bacon and then fry it over the fire.

The higher you fry and smoke, the holier the result, it's basic religious math!

Ah, to be a watchman on the tower. Quiet days of gazing at a distant horizon. Nothing to do but talk, read, and greet travelers.

Just waiting for the Mongols.

That's pretty interesting but I feel like the sleeping quarters and the kitchen probably ought to have a roof or something. Probably for the barn too honestly.

Pretty sure it’s a cutaway for illustration purposes.
