The Guansi area was originally inhabited by indigenous people before Han Chinese settlers arrived. The settlement of the current Guansi area began around 1793 during the 58th year of the Qianlong reign, when a settler from Quanzhou named Chen Zhiren organized a settlement company called "Lianjisheng". At that time, the Guansi area was called "Meilizhuang". However, Lianjisheng was forced to abandon their settlement efforts in the area during the Jiaqing reign due to attacks by the Tayal people. The settlement efforts were then taken over by Wei Agui. After taking over the settlement efforts, Wei Agui established a public hall during the Jiaqing reign to collect rent and grains. He also renamed the area "Xinxingzhuang". In 1820, during the 25th year of the Jiaqing reign, five sons of Wei Agui formed a public company called "Weishouzong" and took over their father's settlement efforts. They renamed the area "Xian cai weng" in 1823 during the 3rd year of the Daoguang reign. The name was later changed to "Xian cai feng" or "Xian cai bang", and eventually became "Xian cai bang". The Guansi Taihe Palace, also known as the Sanjie Temple, primarily worships the Three Officials. It was established in 1812 during the 17th year of the Jiaqing reign by the then-settler Wei Agui. The original location was in Fuxingzhuang. The temple was rebuilt and moved to its current location near the Guansi police station during the Tongzhi reign by Huang Tai-san, Huang Tai-gui, and others. However, it was seized by the Japanese and turned into the administrative office of the Japanese colonial government during the early period of Japanese rule. The temple was then burnt down by the Japanese. In 1900, during the 33rd year of the Meiji period, Luo Biyu and Chen Chunlong initiated the rebuilding of the temple, which was completed and moved to a location in front of the current site. It was then renamed the Taihe Palace. In 1929, during the 4th year of the Showa period, Luo Biyu, Huang Deyang, and others initiated another relocation of the temple to its current site, which was completed in 1936. In 1969, the temple underwent repairs and took on its current appearance.
