Si Shi Kung Pao Brick Memorial Archway and the site of Shijia in Huantai County, Shandong province, are now part of the Seventh List of National Cultural Relics' Preservation Sites released by the State Council.

The Si Shi Kung Pao Brick Memorial Archway, first built in 1619 and as the only existing brick memorial archway, was recognized as the "First Brick Memorial Archway in China".

The two inscribed oracle bones in Yue Shi Culture found at the site of Shijia are some of the earliest oracle bones found in China.

Huantai County, which is rich in buried artifacts, has been strengthening the protection of the relics.
