Sun Bo, president of the Shandong Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, said in a briefing on the Zhangqiu Chengziya site project that the site is the place where the Longshan culture was discovered and named. With a total area of 200,000 square meters, the site is the first prehistoric site independently discovered and excavated by Chinese national academic institutions and archaeologists. The excavation of the Chengziya site has overthrown the Chinese culture in the West, paved an important cornerstone for the development of Prehistoric Archaeology in China, and the Longshan culture discovered from it has played a huge role in promoting the understanding and study of China's Neolithic culture, and the Chengziya site is also known as the "Sacred Site of Chinese Archaeology".
