The invention belongs to the technical field of aromatic hydrocarbon production, and specifically relates to an integrated system and a method used for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons by taking methyl alcohol as a raw material. The method comprises following steps: methyl alcohol is delivered through an aromatization reactor so as to obtain mixed hydrocarbons rich in aromatic hydrocarbons; the mixed hydrocarbons are separated so as to obtain C1-2 hydrocarbons, C3-4 hydrocarbons, C5+ non-aromatic hydrocarbons, BTX, and C9+ heavy aromatic hydrocarbons; C1-2 hydrocarbons, C5+ non-aromatic hydrocarbons and BTX are discharged as products, C3-4 hydrocarbons are subjected to aromatization for a second time, an obtained material is directly mixed with C9+ heavy aromatic hydrocarbons, and an obtained mixture is taken as a raw material and is delivered into an alkyl transfer reactor; an obtained reaction product is delivered back to a separation tower, and a less amount of C9+ heavy aromatic hydrocarbons is discharged via rectifying tower bottom pipelines. The invention also discloses the integrated system used for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons by taking methyl alcohol as the raw material. According to the method, methyl alcohol aromatization, liquefied gas aromatization, and heavy aromatic hydrocarbon lightening are combined, so that recycle of liquefied gas and recycle of heavy aromatic hydrocarbons are realized, cost and energy consumption are saved, catalyst service cycle is prolonged, and BTX yield is increased greatly.
