Lin Zugeng introduced that the gate of the Lin family's big house looks narrow, but in fact, there were seven or eight rooms on both sides of the Lin family in the past. West Street has belonged to the prosperous land of Quanzhou since ancient times, and every inch of land is expensive, so the Lin family will use both sides as shops, leaving a private house gate in the middle. The Lin family house is a traditional residential style in southern Fujian, but the girdle of the gate is arched, and the left and right sides are equipped with spired annular columns, which has the style of Islamic architecture, which is the trace of Sino-foreign exchanges in Quanzhou since ancient times, and also shows that the most popular architectural language was used at that time when it was built.

Lin Zuzhen said that the Lin family has a couplet: Since the ancestors have accumulated virtue for hundreds of years, loyalty and filial piety have been retiring to me, I hope that the descendants will inherit the family for thousands of generations of poetry and writing. The Lin family lives in Quanzhou West Street, and the generation row is "the star for the country, the Yuan Deshi is praying, the ancestral training is long, and the embryo is Yongjiacheng", to the generation of great-grandfather Lin Shichuan, the business has been very large, and the goods have been sold at home and abroad through the Maritime Silk Road. Lin Shichuan built the Lin family house in the third year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty (1911), and after the house was built, he hung this couplet in the hall. At that time, in addition to the Lin family's house, the Lin family had real estate near the Quanzhou Theater on West Street and opposite the Christian Quanxi Church. My great-grandfather was very prestigious in the ancient city, and my grandmother Sticky Ganjuan was the daughter of the Sticky Family, a descendant of the Jin royal family in Taikui Lane. Lin Zugeng still remembers that when he was a child, every time the Chinese New Year came, the family would go to Taikui Lane to pay New Year's greetings.

Lin Zugeng followed his father to various places when he was a child, due to the hardships of life, he couldn't go to school normally, he helped to do school affairs at school during the day, and his father tutored him alone at night, he successively studied in Xiyu Primary School and Shengwen Primary School intermittently for several semesters, and he was still unable to go to school normally in junior high school, and sometimes he had to take a break to work to earn tuition fees before going to school. It was not until the founding of the People's Republic of China that President Lin had the opportunity to be admitted to the publicly-funded Peiyuan Middle School with excellent results, and was admitted to the Department of Chemistry of Xiamen University after graduating in 1952 years.

曾從龍，字君錫，初名一龍，別號雲帽居士，雖說出生於官宦世家，但到了曾從龍這一代，家世已不如以前顯赫。 曾從龍自幼勤奮攻讀，24歲高中狀元，因“一龍”之名有礙聖諱，皇帝寧宗以《易經》“雲從龍，風從虎”之句，賜名“從龍”。 寧宗在《御筆改名敕》中，稱讚曾從龍“有經緯之文章，乃天下之賢才；具經綸之猷略，作上國之利賓”。
