As early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Cantonese Merchants built a guild hall in Siwang. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were troops stationed in siwangxu. The first battle between the uprising army of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the regular Qing army took place in Siwang, which was known as the battle of welcoming the Lord in history.

At the end of the thirtieth year of Daoguang (1850), on the eve of the Jintian uprising, Guangxi governor Lao Chongguang ordered Qinchuan to inspect Zhang Yong's kasiwang ruins, and transferred Xunzhou Deputy General Li Dianyuan to Siwang for emergency. When Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan returned to Jintian, they were chased by the Qing army and hid in Huazhou Shanren village. In early November, Ni Tao, the southern magistrate of Qingping, attacked Huazhou and was defeated by Hong Xiu Quandeng. In order to save Hong Xiuquan and others, Yang Xiuqing sent Meng De'en and thousands of troops to attack the Qing army of Li Dianyuan, who was stationed in Siwang market. When Hong Xiuquan learned that the Jintian assembly came to help, he ordered Hu Yimin to lead them to Siwang market. The two armies attacked each other and defeated the Qing army. Li Dianyuan and Ni Tao were defeated, and Zhang Yong died. Soon after, Hong Xiuquan returned to Jintian to announce the uprising, called it the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and issued an imperial edict, calling the battle of siwangxu the battle of welcoming the Lord.
