As for its origin, some say it was brought to Shanhua Town in Tainan County from Fukien by Wang Nao-hsi, but there is no record in local gazetteers of the Ching dynasty era or in the information about Taiwanese customs recorded by the Japanese colonial authorities.
關於它的由來，一說是由台南縣善化鎮的王鬧錫由閩南傳入，然而在地方誌和日人所採集的台灣風俗中，卻不見紀錄。
