"Wanxuanju" 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) contributed significantly to the Han Chinese settlement in the central region of Taiwan, where he was known for his cultivation efforts under the name "Zhang Zhenwan." Construction of "Wanxuanju" began in the 10th year of the Tongzhi era (1871), and after Zhang Shihsi's death the following year, it was continued by his four sons. It was officially completed in the 12th year of the Tongzhi era (1873).
