Ancient kings taught reverence to ancestors through temple rites. Since 50th-generation ancestor Xiangren branched at Daoshi'ao, Shi clan lacked ancestral hall for ten generations. In Qianlong 24 (1759), Shao[erased] et al. built a three-bay hall at Zhongshan foothill with endowed fields funding sacrifices. Though fulfilling devotion, its cramped scale hindered reverence. Descendants Ru'zeng and Ru[erased] initiated relocation in Daoguang Yiyou (1825). Completed in Dinghai (1827), it achieved distinct transformation. Ru'yi supervised works; Ru'tang managed finances impartially – exemplary filial dedication! As ancients said: "Uninitiated excellence fades; uncontinued glory vanishes." This steel records construction history and endowments (listed below), eternizing the legacy.
Endowments:
Qianlong 24 (1759) fields omitted
Daoguang 24 (1844) fields omitted
Erected jointly, [month] Daoguang 28 (1848)
