There were five Gaoshan soldiers from the Alishan area in Taiwan, named inasiro, dimodao, andusidan, andayilu and Yiming. They were arranged to settle 40 miles northwest of Dengzhou city.

After 300 years of ups and downs, the descendants of the five surnames gradually multiplied and grew, eventually forming today's "Taiwan village".
