"Wan Xuan Ju" was founded by Zhang Shixi (1802-1872), whose courtesy name was Wanchun. He was of Hakka descent from Dapu County, Chaozhou Prefecture in Guangdong Province. His ancestor, Zhang Dajing (1690-1773), migrated to Taiwan and played an important role in the settlement of the Han people in central Taiwan, with the settlement named "Zhang Zhen Wan." Zhang Shixi began the construction of "Wan Xuan Ju" in the 10th year of the Tongzhi era (1871) and passed away the following year. His four sons continued the construction, and it was officially completed in the 12th year of the Tongzhi era (1873).
