"Wanxuanju" was built by Zhang Shixi (1802-1872), whose courtesy name was Wan Chun. He was of Hakka ancestry from Dapu County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province. His ancestor, Zhang Dajing (1690-1773), arrived in Taiwan and played an important role in the Han Chinese settlement of central Taiwan with his reclamation name "Zhang Zhenwan." Zhang Shixi started the construction of "Wanxuanju" in the 10th year of the Tongzhi period (1871) and passed away the following year. It was continued by his four sons and officially completed in the 12th year of the Tongzhi period (1873).
