In a traditional agricultural society, children from villages often organize "quguan" (Ballade Society) during farming leisure periods to learn music and drama. This serves as both a recreational activity and a way to showcase their skills during religious festivals and deity processions. Zhanghua City used to be the political, economic, and cultural center of the county. “Ma-Zu” folk belief circles developed around Nan Yao Temple, making it a focal point for quguan organizations and an important part of Zhanghua City's folk culture.

Li Chun Yuan is a famous quguan for “Beiguan” in Zhanghua and is the oldest surviving Beiguan musical group in Zhanghua City. Its founder, Yang Yingqiu, came to Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty and introduced quguan culture and Beiguan opera to the Zhanghua region. Yang Yingqiu established four major quguan in Zhanghua: Beimen Yiruzhai, Nanmen Li Chun Yuan, Dongmen Jiyu Xuan, and Ximen Yuehua Ge, collectively known as the "Four Major Quguans of Zhanghua." However, only Li Chun Yuan and Jiyu Xuan remain active today. Li Chun Yuan was founded in the 16th year of Jiaqing (1811) and was the first quguan established by Yang Yingqiu. It is the oldest quguan in the Zhanghua region and played an indispensable role during the disputes among various quguansin Zhanghua's history. The name "Li Chun Yuan" comes from the Tang Dynasty Emperor Tang Ming Huang's love for music and dance, as he established a "Li Yuan" as a large royal troupe for composing and performing music. This later became known in the theatrical world as the "Li Yuan." The land of Li Chun Yuan is said to have been donated by an unknown person and covers approximately 300 square meters, surrounded by fish ponds and rice paddies. To honor this anonymous donor, a small temple was built in a nearby alley behind Li Chun Yuan, and it is referred to as the "Di Ji Zhu Temple" (Temple of the god in charge of safeguarding the house foundation) because the exact name of the donor is unknown. Li Chun Yuan underwent renovations in 1982 in the 5th lunar month but, due to Feng Shui considerations that the hall was not suitable for groundbreaking in that year, the date on the stele outside was revised to 1983 on the first day of the first month. Li Chun Yuan serves as the leading quguan for the Nan Yao Temple Ma-Zu grand procession, commonly known as the "Da Ma Guan" (Grand Ma-Zu Quguan). Additionally, Li Chun Yuan has also participated in various other musical ensembles for deities, including the Tian-Hou-Gong Ma-Zu parade ensemble, Confucius ceremonies ensemble, and Guan-Sheng-Di-Jun festival ensemble, holding an important position in the Zhanghua regional folk ballade scene. In 2006 AD, it was registered as a historical building and the Li Chun Yuan Beiguan Troupe, the cultural transmitting group of Beiguan, a Taiwan National Inscribed and Important Traditional Arts.
