history
An older name of Zhuqi is Zhutouqi ( 竹 頭 崎 , Zhútóu qí , Pe̍h-ōe-jī Tik-thâu-kiā ). The name is derived from the abundant stocks of bamboo that have been used by humans for a long time. The bamboo was felled and stumps remained, the "bamboo heads" ( 竹 頭 , Zhútóu - "bamboo head"). The syllable qí / kiā means "steep" in Taiwanese. Zhutouqi was known as the mountainous area where bamboo was felled in abundance. During the Qing period, the Zhuqi area was initially administratively assigned to Zhuluo County ( 諸 羅 縣 ). Under Japanese rule , the administrative structures were reorganized and from 1920 Zhuqi was a 'village' ( 庄 , Zhuāng ) in Tainan Prefecture . After Taiwan was taken over by the Republic of China in 1945, Zhuqi became a 'rural community' ( 鄉 , Xiang ) in January 1946 , initially in Tainan County and from October 25, 1950 in the newly established Chiayi County.
population
At the end of 2017, 112 people (around 0.3%) belonged to the indigenous peoples.
