evolution
Zhongxiao Hall was built in Mingzhi 43 (1910) in the Liuzhangli traditional Lin settlement, after the transfer of Lin Xiankun sixth house under the Linji school, as the former residence of the Linzi public sacrifice manager, Linji, Linqi Chi and its people's residence, and later in Zhaohe 15 years (1940) for some reason transferred his in-laws Jiang Azan two families to live, after the death of Lin Ji, The Zhongxiao Hall was inherited by his eldest son, Lin Qicchi. Considering that the Zhongxiao Hall had been rented to the Kang family, the Lin family did not settle in the Zhongxiao Hall since then, but moved to the Shifangli area of Hsinchu City to live. During the Pacific War, Lin Qicchi and his family returned to Zhongxiao Hall from 1945 to 1949 to temporarily live with the Jiang family.

In 1968, Jiang Jinhuo bought the Zhongxiao Hall from Lin Qicchi for NT $50,000. Out of respect for the Lin family, he still retained the original Zhongxiao Tang. According to the needs of pig breeding work, pig houses, warehouses and brick buildings were built around Zhongxiao Hall one after another, and pig pens were built inside the right transverse room of Zhongxiao Hall. The facility behind the building houses a chicken farm, which is used every year as a place for the slaughter of livestock for the Baozhongting Charity Festival. In the 1980s, due to the descendants moved out after the completion of the new house of the Jiang family, only Jiang Jinfire and his wife lived in Zhongxiao Hall.

In 1999, the whole area of Liuzhangli settlement was expropriated and designated as Zhubei Liujia Folk Park due to urban planning. In order to cooperate with the government expropriation, the Jiang family demolished the right side of the Zhongxiao Hall, the pig house in the rear, and the warehouse. In 2002, after the land allocation of the second phase of the county administration was completed, the family relatives of the Lin family decided to preserve the scope of the folk park and finally decided to retain the Zhongxiao Hall. Zhongxiao Hall was registered as a historical building by the Hsinchu County Government on September 12, 2007.

In 2013, due to the impact of wood termites and insect infestation, the Zhongxiao Hall was seriously damaged. After the Hsinchu County government fought for the funding of the Hakka Committee of the Republic of China, it conducted research, investigation and planning for the Zhongxiao Hall, and carried out the restoration project in 2016, which was finally completed in 2017. It is planned to be used as a Hakka culture exhibition experimental museum.
