Located in Xiaoyan Village, Patrol Town, Anlu City, 1 km east of Shushui, 4 km from Shudian Town in the south, and 6 km from Fucheng in the north, the site of Shushutai is a square circular earthen platform 4 meters above the surrounding flat land, with an area of 0.6 million square meters. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius traveled around the world, passing through this place, because of careless driving, the horse reversed, and all the books carried were dumped in the pond and soaked wet, and Confucius was busy fishing up the books, putting them here to dry, and then driving away. When he left, the place where the books were dried grew into a large platform overnight, and later, people called this place a book drying table.
In 1958, the ruins of the shutai were discovered, and after the archaeologists of the prefecture and the county and the teachers and students of the Department of Archaeology of Wuhan University and Peking University studied on the ground, they learned that the depth of 4.3 meters from the ground was the place where people of the Shang Dynasty lived 3600 years ago. A large number of cultural relics have been found, including stone tools (sickles, axes, chisels), pottery (spinning wheels, net pendants), bone tools (daggers, clusters), bronze tools (cutting, hammering) and cloth nails.

It is worth mentioning that on a piece of burnt red soil near the east of the site, more than 20 pieces of bu jia were found, which was used for ancient divination and was the belly carapace of the turtle (no drill, chisel, fire crack). This kind of Bujia appeared in the late Neolithic period, prevalent in the Shang Dynasty, and was also found in the Zhou Dynasty, and there were not many excavations in Hubei. The discovery of the Shushutai site provides physical data for studying the influence of the Shang and Zhou territories and the political, economic, and cultural areas along the Jianghan Plain. Now it is a provincial key cultural relics protection unit.
