    Origin of the geographical name of Zihguan
    According to legend, after Jheng Cheng-gong arrived in Taiwan, Jhangjhou’s Wang Zih and the Wang, Jheng, Cai, Ou and Su families also relocated here; in particular, Wang Zih’s family was the most powerful and was respectably referred to as "Zihguan (Tzukuan) by the local residents (ancestors with power and influence often had their names added to the word Guan to show respect), thus the geographical name Zihguan. In 1951, the township was demarcated and the area was approved by the authorities as Zihguan District, which is used until today.
