Later, it was extended to include sugar water and glutinous rice juice to be used as mortar for bricks and tiles in building houses. Although these ancient building materials are no longer used today, the important site of Anping's burning oyster shells into oyster shell ash has been preserved.

The thinnest part of the kiln wall is 1 meter thick, making it a rare kiln structure.
