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. They married local Han women and changed their surnames to Chen, Zhou, Cai, Huang and Lin respectively. From then on, they lived a civilian life of fishing, firewood, farming and reading. After 300 years of ups and downs, the descendants of the five surnames gradually multiplied and grew, eventually forming today's "Taiwan village".
