History
Jhu Chian is the ancient name of Hsinchu, and it is the earliest location of the Ping Puzu Daokasihzu “Jhu Chian She”.Jhu Chian City is the earliest developed city in northern Taiwan, and there have been three names for Jhu Chian city, they are “Jhu Chian City” , “Dan Shuei Ting City”, and “Sin Jhu City”. It reflected the names of administrative districts from different eras. Taiwan was colonized by the Japanese from 1895 to 1945 (a total of 50 years), so there are many Japanese-built buildings in the town of Hsinchu as a consequence.
In 1718, the Chyuan Jhou immigrant Wang Shih Jieh led the relatives and villagers to develop here, and it gradually became the most important political, economic and cultural center of northern Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Hsinchu was subordinate to Zhuluo County, Taiwan.
