Lin Huan-keng, the troupe's current leader, says that it was originally formed to celebrate Taiwan's recovery from Japan, but it was a little different from other such troupes in that it was composed entirely of men masquerading as women. The troupe's uproarious shows were wildly popular, and it was in great demand.
現任花鼓隊隊長林煥庚指出，當年為了慶祝台灣光復，六家自創了與眾不同的花鼓隊，隊員清一色男扮女裝，詼諧逗趣很受歡迎，不時應邀表演。
