In 16 years (1891), in accordance with the requirements and provisions of the "Society Act of 1889", the name of Han Jiang Family Temple, the Chaozhou Company, was registered with the Huamin Security Department. At the end of 30 years (1904), the legal procedures for the cessation of ownership of all industries were completed, and the trustee system was implemented to ensure that Acer was forever. After the founding of the Republic of China, the trend of social reform began to grow. Feeling the urgent need to nurture the children of the influx of people, the Hanjiang Family Temple colleagues proposed the establishment of Hanjiang School in October 1919, with a view to reaping the long-term benefits of a hundred years of cultivating people. In 1931, the Hanjiang Mutual Aid Association was first advocated, adhering to the principle of caring and mutual assistance, in order to achieve the purpose of consolidating the nostalgia. At the end of 1933, the Hanjiang Family Temple was renamed Penang Teochew Guild Hall, which inspired the ancestors and actively promoted the first Malayan Teochew Guild Hall Association. During this period, natural disasters occurred in China, followed by droughts and floods. Under the leadership of Mr. Lin Liandeng, the assembly hall was prepared for disaster relief. In 1931, the Japanese imperialists occupied the three provinces in Northeast China, and six years later, they provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident and aggressively invaded China. The Teochew people in Penang took an active part in the anti-Japanese national salvation movement in various fields. The Chaozhou Guild Hall took the lead in setting up a Freedom Public Debt Committee in the Chinese society, calling on all walks of life to donate generously. In 1942, Malaya fell and the property loss of the guild hall was extremely heavy. After the peace, a hundred wastes are waiting to be done, and it is all due to the joint efforts of members and leaders that the conference business can be revived on track.

After the independence of Malaya, the national identity of the ethnic group has changed. The club is committed to encouraging the villagers to apply for citizenship, allegiance to the state, and to build the country together. In the second half of the 20th century, the organizational policy and direction of activities of the club basically continued the tradition, strengthened the motivation, and responded to the challenges of the times. The solidarity of the leadership has opened up an extensive network for the club; the establishment of the Youth League and the Women's Group has injected everlasting vitality into the mother's body. Combined with the selfless support of all villagers, the guild hall is able to integrate with the entire Chinese community and the country, and to plan and prosper together. At the beginning of the 21st century, the centripetal force of the Chaoshan ethnic group further solidified, and the cultural orientation of the Chaozhou Guild Hall became more prominent. The comprehensive restoration of the Hanjiang Family Temple started in September 2003 is the consensus of the Chaoshan people in Penang. Our collective efforts and generous donations won the Hanjiang Family Temple the 2006 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Cultural Heritage Protection Award, added a cultural beauty to the diverse Penang Island, and contributed to the entry of George Town into the United Nations World Cultural Heritage List in July 2008. . At the end of the same year, the restoration project of the original Hanjiang school building was completed, and the office building of the hall was fully opened.
