North of the Zhuoshui River and South of the Wu River Lies the happy city of Changhua, where educational hopes abound.

In terms of geographical location, Changhua is located in the north-south range between the Zhuoshui River to the north and the Wu River to the south, with the Bagua Mountain Range to the east and adjacent to Nantou.

In 1683, the Qing Dynasty established Taiwan Prefecture, Fengshan County, and Zhu Luo County. Changhua was under the jurisdiction of Zhu Luo County, but in terms of its magnificent mountains and rivers, abundant resources, dense population, and cultural prosperity, it was no less impressive than these three counties.

In 1723, Wu Dali, a touring imperial inspector, submitted a memorial to the emperor stating that "the area north of Banxian in Zhu Luo County is inhabited by a mixture of aboriginal and Han people, and requests the establishment of a county magistrate and a historian." The result was the establishment of Changhua County, which extended from Nanjhu to Huwei. The name Changhua means "revealing the glorious achievements of the imperial court." The county office was located in Banxian, marking the beginning of Changhua's history. The new officials included a county magistrate, a historian, and a Confucian scholar.

The Han Chinese settlement in today's Yuánlín Dàcūn area began during the Yongzheng period (1723-1735), when it was under the jurisdiction of Yanwu Township. The first person to cultivate the land was Shi Shibang. By around the 16th year of the Qianlong period, it had developed into a town called "Yuánlínzǎi Street," named after a circular forest left by early settlers in commemoration. Due to the lush vegetation surrounding the houses, it is also known as "Linzi Street."

Due to Changhua's establishment as a county in 1723 and its rich cultural heritage, traditional performing arts such as Nanguan and Beiguanmusic, and opera flourished early on due to Han Chinese immigrants, making Changhua an important center for the development and dissemination of Nanguan and Beiguan music and opera in Taiwan, which are the representatives of Changhua's culture.
