Among the well-preserved ancestral halls in Shenzhen Village, Jingke Ling Ancestral Hall stands out for its exquisite carvings. Its builder, Ling Fupeng, was a fellow successful candidate in the imperial examination of the jiwei year during the Guangxu reign with Kang Youwei and rose to the position of Zhili Provincial Administration Commissioner. His daughter, Ling Shuhua, was a renowned literary talent in the 1920s and 1930s.
