The building has three bays and two courtyards, was first built in the 15th year of the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty (1536), and underwent renovations in the 57th year of the Kangxi era (1718) and the 23rd year of the Jiaqing era (1818) of the Qing Dynasty. Its architectural style remains characteristic of the Qing period. The ancestral hall is richly and exquisitely decorated, with beams, bracket arms, and spandrels carved with vivid patterns of theatrical figures, flowers, animals, and other ornamental designs.
