Since the Ming Dynasty and Zheng Dynasty, immigrants from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, Fujian Province have gradually come here to cultivate land, and by the Qing Dynasty, it gradually became a settlement.

In 1943, Nanzizhuang was abandoned and placed under the jurisdiction of Kaohsiung City, and Nanzi District was established. After the war, the Houjin area was incorporated and the Nanzi District of Kaohsiung City was established to this day. Although most modern written texts refer to this place as Nanzi, the Hokkien spoken language still uses the old name Nanzikeng (vernacular characters: Lamp; acirc; m-a-khe n). For example, the Hokkien announcements in the trains of the Taiwan Railway Administration are based on this.

A simple stage with a few puppets that could reach heaven and earth made the audience mesmerized. It was no less impressive than today's superstar concerts. As the saying goes, "If you are a fool when it comes to theater, you will be a fan of theater watching." It vividly illustrates the popularity of puppetry in the past. Budai Opera is commonly known as "Zhangzhong Opera" or "Xiaolong". According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, a fallen scholar went to the temple and asked a divination, "Fame and fame are in the palm of your hand, and glory and wealth are before your eyes."
