The existing structure was rebuilt in the 5th year of the Tongzhi reign (1866) of the Qing dynasty. Substantial renovation work was carried out in 1963. Legend has it that Hung Shing was originally a governor of Kwong Lee (Guangli) during the Tang dynasty (618-907), and was known by the name Hung Hei. After his death, the reigning emperor awarded him the posthumous title of “Kwong Lee Hung Shing Tai Wong”. Hung Shing is widely worshipped, particularly by shermen and people whose livelihoods depend largely on the sea. The Hung Shing Festival is held annually on the 13th day of the second lunar month. The Hung Shing Temple is a simple building with two halls separated by an 後進 open courtyard. In most of the other temples in Hong Kong, open courtyards Rear hall are roofed over to form incense towers.

According to clan records, the ancestral hall was constructed by Tang Fung-shun of the clan’s 5th generation about 700 years ago. The Tang Ancestral Hall underwent a major restoration funded by the clan between 1990 and 1991. As in the past, the ancestral hall is still used regularly as a venue for worship, festivals and ceremonies, and clan meetings. The Tang Ancestral Hall was declared a monument in December 2001. 祠堂外貌 A magnicent three-hall structure with two internal courtyards, the Tang Outlook of the ancestral hall Ancestral Hall is one of the nest examples of its kind in Hong Kong.

It was constructed in the early 16th century by two 11th generation brothers of the Tang Clan: Tang Sai-yin (alias Yu-sing) and Tang Sai-chiu (alias Kiu-lum). In addition to serving as an ancestral hall, the building was used as a teaching hall for children of the Ping Shan villages. From 1931 to 1961, it was housed the Tat Tak School. The last major renovation of the building probably took place during the Guangxu reign (1875-1908) of the Qing dynasty, as indicated by the engraved characters on the stone tablet above the main entrance. The original structure and features of the building, however, remain unaffected.
