In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, a natural village was formed here. The villagers began to build brick houses and went out to South Asia to work as Chinese laborers. When the economic conditions were good, they sent money back to their hometown to build green brick houses. Basically settled in five natural villages: Luowan Village, Beiwan Village, Shenshuiwan Village, Yinbian Village and Qianxin Village. During the Republic of China, these five natural villages were named Lianzitang Village.
