"Wan Xuan Ju" was founded by Zhang Shihsi (1802-1872), whose courtesy name was Wanchun. He was of Hakka descent from Dapu County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province. His ancestor, Zhang Dajing (1690-1773), who established the settlement name "Zhang Zhenwan," played an important role in the Han people's reclamation of the central region. Zhang Shihsi began the construction of "Wan Xuan Ju" in the 10th year of the Tongzhi period (1871) and passed away the following year. It was subsequently continued by his four sons and officially completed in the 12th year of the Tongzhi period (1873).
