Forefather Yan Jen Hsien, stylistic

Five Dynasties period (907-957 A.D.),
he was in government service as a
third grade official in An His county,
Fu Chien province (previously known
as Min territory).

In the old record of the Yan clan, the
site of the tomb of first ancestor Yan
Chi was situated in a hill-lock with a
guard post built on the top to watch
the official trunk route passing along
the bridge head at Yung Lung pass,
Pu Cheng village, Ho Ping
administrative unit, 15th capital,

been renamed and known now a day
as Tai Ong hamlet in the same
