THE TANG CLAN (see http://www.csb.gov.hk)
Accorded Grade III Antiquities and Monuments status in 1988, Ping Shan (well known for its pagoda) is of particular significance to the indigenous Tang clan, specifically the Tang Wai San Tong and the Tang Chap Ng Tso, descendants from one of the "Five Great Clans" residents in the New Territories since the 12th century. The ancestral hall, located at
the foot of Ping Shan Police Station,has been a focal point of the nine Ping Shan Tang families for 800 years. With the Tang villages sited to the west of the hill and the ancestral graves to the east, 'fung shui' demanded that there be no obstruction on the summit in order to maintain a link between the past and present generations of the Ping Shan Tang clan............
