During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Hsiushui Township was originally called 'Tou Shui' (透水). At that time, people removed the left part '冫' from the character '透' and changed the name to 'Hsiu Shui' (秀水), which has been used ever since. Before the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, this area was originally inhabited by the indigenous Mazilin people. During the Yongzheng period, Han people migrated from Quanzhou, Nan'an, Jinjiang, and Zhangzhou to develop the land. By the early Qianlong period, six villages gradually formed: Maxing, Maming Mountain, Andong, Pujinglun, Zengcuo, and Xialun. As it was originally inhabited by the Mazilin indigenous people, it was collectively called Mazibao, under the jurisdiction of Changhua County.
