Weicheng district in Weifang, East China's Shandong province, has tapped into the rich culture of the local Wanyin Building, also known as the Ten Thousand Seals Building, over the past 10 years.

The Weifang No 3 Middle School in Weicheng is located close to the Wanyin Building and has set up an inclusive classroom and an experience hall for stone culture, written teaching materials, and employed professional teachers to improve art education at the school.

In 2018, the school established a mini version of the Wanyin Building, which collects entries by students for seal carving competitions and includes exhibition halls for seals and bricks from the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) and tiles from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220). (Edited by Gong Jun)
