Chen wengou, the father of his overseas Chinese in Singapore, believes in geomantic omen very much. He heard a geomantic omen gentleman say that "there are mountains behind the mirror in front of the house, and his descendants become rich and become officials". So he remitted a sum of money from Singapore and asked someone to build a half moon shaped pond about one mu in front of the door of the house to make the geomantic omen of the house conform to the geomantic omen gentleman's statement. After the pond was repaired, it was named "Taigong pond". "Taigongtang" is well proportioned with the building, which looks simple and beautiful, and unique.
