Because of its long history, the former residence has long been abandoned, and there is no detailed record in local chronicles and Ouyang's genealogy. The specific time, original area, architectural structure and interior furnishings of Ouyang Zhan's former residence in Jiadi Lane are unknown. However, it can be speculated that Ouyang Zhan moved here in the eighth year of Zhenyuan in Tang Dezong (792), and then built a house next to this hill. After he and his wife died, a son and grandson settled here again to worship their ancestors. Later generations named this lane and this mountain Zhancuo Mountain or Ouyang Shan to commemorate Ouyang Zhan's famine in Quanzhou Kaike Jinshi and Fujian Jiadi Jinshi.

On the two stone pillars in front of the altar hung a pair of running script couplets written by Ouyang Zong and Liu Changyan, a scholar in Nan 'an in the Northern Song Dynasty: "Rank first in the dragon and tiger list in one fell swoop; Ten years of Phoenix Pool. " Above the center of the south wall hangs a long wooden plaque with regular script in black and white background. In the Ming Dynasty, Huang Fengxiang, a native of Quanzhou, a scholar of second grade and a minister of rites, wrote a couplet with stone tablets hanging on both sides under a long wooden plaque: "The morality of the article comes first, and the smoke becomes a leopard; The sound and capacity of the book are there, and a niche is like a firefly ",with white characters and black background;" There is a picture frame hanging on the east side of the south wall, with the regular script of Chen Xiangyao, a professor of Chinese Department of Fujian Normal University: "Wenzong in Tang Dynasty was called five friends with Liu Han; Fujian and Xinjiang are the first, and Liao and Liu Tong are the three sages.
