This is the ancestral hall of the You (游) family of Zhuangwei, whose forebears crossed from Zhao’an (詔安) in Fujian and settled the Liujie (六結) area of the Lanyang Plain (蘭陽平原) in 1803. The nine branches of the family raised a thatched ancestral shrine here in the late Qing dynasty; it burned down, was rebuilt in timber, and was finally reconstructed with brick during the Japanese colonial era. It was designated a county monument in 2005 and remains in use by the family. The surrounding settlement is also known to scholars as a rare enclave of the Zhao’an Hakka (詔安客語) dialect.
