The bridge is located to the east of Shui Tau Tsuen, while Choi Wong Yi Kung Study Hall is at its south. Bin Mo Bridge was built by Tang Chun Yuen 鄧俊元, the 25th generation patriarch of the Tangs in Kam Tin in the 49th year of the Kangxi 康熙 era in the Qing Dynasty (1710). Tang Chun Yuen 鄧俊元’s father, named Chung Kwong 重光 passed away when Chun Yuen 俊元was very young. Chun Yuen 俊元lived with his mother, surnamed Wong and his brother, Tang Yin Yuen 鄧彥元 in Tai Hong Wai 泰康圍. Chun Yuen 俊元 moved to Shui Tai Tsuen which is located at the opposite side of Kam Tin River after he got married in the 43th year of the Kangxi 康熙 era in the Qing Dynasty (1704). Every time when his mother visited her grandsons, Tang Chun Yuen鄧俊元had to carry here on his back to cross the river. Several years later, Tang Chun Yuen鄧俊元 built a bridge between the two villages to facilitate his mother crossing the river. The bridge was completed in the 49th year of the Kangxi 康熙 era in the Qing Dynasty (1710) and name Bin Mo Bridge, literally meaning a bridge for the convenience of mother. Two stone steles were erected next to the bridge. The older one was erected at the completion year (1710), while another one commemorated the renovations in 1959, in recent years, the bridge underwent repairs by the Hong Kong Government. A pavilion was built adjacent to the bridge as a resting place for tourists. The stone stele carved in 1959 was also reengraved.

Surrounded by water at three sides, it was linked to the rear of Shui Tai Tsuen by the Bin Mo Bridge. The Building was built by the Tang clan of Kam Tin in the 23rd year of Kangxi 康熙 era (1684) in the Qing Dynasty to honor Zhou Youde 周有德, Viceroy of Guandong and Guangxi 兩廣總督 and Wang Lairen 王來任, Governor of Guangdong 廣東巡撫 whose pleading with Emperor ended the coastal evacuation. Chou Wong Yi Kung Study Hall is a two-hall structure with three jian 間 [bay] in width. It has an entrance building and ritual hall separated by a courtyard along the central asix. At the rear of the main hall is an altar where the soul tablets of officials Zhou and Wang are housed. Apart from providing schooling to local children, it is also the place where village festival, known as Chau Yan Kin Chiu 酬恩建醮, took place every ten years. Start from 1684, the rituals are initiated to pay great respect to Zhou and Wang as well as relieve the souls of those dead cased by the evacuation order. It is the only rituals commemorating officials Zhou and Wang, which was still carried on in Hong Kong. Villagers would make offerings, such as fruits and dumpling known as Cha Kwa 茶果 at Chou Wong Yi Kung Study Hall before the opening rite. In particular, they would also paper offerings for Zhou and Wang. Led by a team of Taoise priests, a continuous series of ritual activity is carried out to cleanse and purify the place as well as to please and drive out the evil spirits during the five-day and six-nights rites. The original timber Chinese roof and brick structures of the study hall were already replaced with concrete structures.

To the west of the tree house is a fish pond. The construction year of the house could not be ascertained. It is said that the building might be a study hall of a clan member of the Tangs in Kam Tin. When the imperial edict on coastal evacuation was imposed in the first year of Kangxi 康熙 era of Qing Dynasty (1662), the owner left Kam Tin and never returned. The building therefore fell into ruins. Another legend has it that the building was a temple worshipping Tin Hau 天后 [Goddness of the Sea]. The temple was subsequently collapsed. Later, the banyan tree next to the building grew bigger and enveloped it completely.

Also known as Mau King Tong 茂荊堂 [Hall of Luxuriant Blossom of Bauhinia], the building was founded by Tang Man Wai 鄧文蔚, a focal patriarch of the 23rd generation, to commemorate the 16th generation principal ancestors, Tang Chan 鄧鎮, Tang Yui 鄧銳 and Tang Kuen 鄧鋗 during the Kangxi era (1662-1723) in the Qing Dynasty. The ritual of Dim Dang 點燈 [lantern lighting ceremony] will be performed in the hall on the 15th of the first lunar month every year. A learge lighting lantern representing the continuity of the lineage would be hung in the main hall. The family of the new born son would prepare feast and porridge, known as “Ding chuk” 丁粥 [Porridge of newborn boys] of clan members. On that day, the name of the newborn son would be added into the genealogy to be rightfully recognized him as a member of the lineage. Although the original timber Chinese roof was already replaced with concrete structures, the remaining fabrics are still able to give us a glance of the immense scale of the building. At the side bay are raised platforms known as the drum platform. Passing through the entrance porch is an entrance doorway set in granite surround in the middle bay. The bases of the gable wall and entrance wall are originally made of red sandstone that was considered as a delicate building material for its rarity in Hong Kong. These designs and choice of building material add a sense of grandeur to the building, and help to demonstrate the importance of the building. The main ridge is finely decorated with delicate plastered relief of auspicious animals, scrolled foliage, bird and sprays of flowers in the panels.

It has been listed as Grade 1 of Historic Buildings in Hong Kong. Being a sizable ancestral hall in Hong Kong, it occupies a footprint of 547.66m2. The most important celebration is associated with entering a newborn son into the lineage registry for him to be rightfully recognized as a member of the lineage. The ancestral hall is also the venue where the marriage took place. Wedding banquets are held inside the ancestral hall and in the open forecourt where basin meals are served. The main ridge is of curled-up ends and finely decorated with delicate plastered relief in serial of panels. The middle panel is depicting a carp leaping from turbulent waters over a gate beside a sinuous dragon amidst scrolling clouds, symbolizing “liyue longmen鯉躍龍門 [crap jumps over the dragon gate]”, a wish for increased prestige. The roofs are supported by stacked-beams-and struts systems with elaborate timber members where the underside of the timber beams and tuofeng are finely carved with auspicious motifs. Below the roof is a register of murals at the top of the entrance wall depicting idyllic landscape and folk stories. Dated to the 59th year of Qianlong era (1794), a plaque inscribed with three Chinese characters “Sze Shing Tong”思成堂 is hung atop the screen doors in the main hall, which was written by Cho Peng Ling who was granted the honor of Jinshi 進士 Source: Heritage in Kam Tin iPhone App[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type="normal" up="20" down="40"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="center" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][button size="medium" icon="" target="_self" text_align="center" text="Back to Project Page" link="http://www.y-space.org/id2015daakt/?lang=en"][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
