The area of Deng Shichang Memorial Hall is very large, but when Deng Shichang was alive, the Tang ancestral temple built in 1834 was only 1000 square meters. In 1894, Deng Shichang died in the Sino-Japanese naval battle. The court allocated 102,000 pension silver, of which 42,000 were used to expand the ancestral temple to 4700 square meters. The couplet on the gate of the ancestral temple was given by Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty.
