Historical evolution

In the first year of Daoguang reign of Qing Dynasty (1821), Wangshan reservoir was built.

In the first year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1851), the main body of Wangshan reservoir was built and began to take shape.

In 1968, as a "negative teaching material", Wangshan Tuku was listed as "class education exhibition hall" by Cheng Shiqing, then Secretary of the provincial Party committee, and was also known as Liu's manor in Dayi. Later, some of the houses in the soil warehouse were given to the "poor peasants" (later, they were gradually demolished and rebuilt separately), and some of them were converted into Datang grain depot.

In the early 1980s, after Datang grain station was withdrawn from Wangshan soil depot, the construction of soil depot was gradually dilapidated due to management problems. Since 2003, the governments of Nanchang City and Xinjian County have started the restoration project of Wangshan earth reservoir, and the main building to the east of Zutang has been completely restored.

In 2004, Wangshan Tuku was named "China Mansion Culture Museum" by China Federation of literary and art circles and China Association for democracy and people's livelihood.

In January 2018, the scientific research and training base of Jiangxi Tourism Culture Research Association was set up in Wangshan Tuku.
