Shekou Lin Residence Introduction
During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the ancestors of the Lin family settled in the Anli community of Taiwan (now known as Shenkang District). During the Tongzhi period, in response to the Dai Chaochun incident, Lin Zhenfang contributed to the Qing army’s efforts to suppress Dai Chaochun, for which the Qing court awarded him the title of "Zhongshu Ke" and a plaque. The Shekou Lin Residence was built during Lin Zhenfang's most prosperous time; it was originally an old house purchased from the Wu family that was renovated. The initial scale was completed in the first year of the Guangxu era (1875), while the addition of the Hulong wing happened several years later as the family population grew.
