"Wanxuanju" was established by Zhang Shixi (1802-1872), whose courtesy name was Wan Chun. He was of Hakka descent from Da Pu County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province. His ancestor, Zhang Dajing (1690-1773), who had the homestead name "Zhang Zhenwan," played an important role in the Han Chinese settlement of Central Taiwan. Zhang Shixi began the construction of "Wanxuanju" in the 10th year of the Tongzhi period (1871) and passed away the following year. His four sons inherited and continued the construction, and it was officially completed in the 12th year of the Tongzhi period (1873).
