In ancient asia how would people communicate?

The most common method of communication in ancient Asia is sending a messenger on a horse. There are transfer stations for horses throughout the continent that allows the messenger to switch to a new horse after covering some distance. Water transportation is also used for communication. In China during an invasion from the North, soldiers on the towers of the Great Wall of China would light up a torch and all the other towers would do that as well until it reaches the capital.
