The Chinese character "tang&" is usually referred to as "hall" in English. Originally located in Tanzi, Taichung, Ben Jen Tang was built in 1926 by Mr. Qiong-chang Lin, the administrator of Tanzaiqian District. The ornamentation on this building was exquisite, notably the Koji pottery art on the carved stone wall, presumably the creation of Kun-fu Hong, a renowned Quanzhou-style artisan. It was donated to the Chiayi Municipal Museum in 2010 by his descendant, Mr. Jin-kun Lin, and is now part of the Museum's permanent collections. In addition to the Koji pottery art in the shape of a lying flat arch (ㄇ-shape), the donation includes a Chinese plaque with the Koji pottery inscription "Ben Jen Tang," as well as a few Koji pottery works such as two sets of book rolls and two pieces of calligraphic characters on a book roll.
