At that time, most area of An-ping district was fish nursery and most population of the district lived at An-ping Village. Therefore, before the implementation of urban renewal and redevelopment plan, An-ping Village can be viewed as An-ping district. At 1969, the first stage of urban renewal and redevelopment plan was implemented. The plan extended the building site of An-ping village and the provided more space for the increasing population. The fifth stage of urban renewal and redevelopment plan, which was implemented at 1981, brought critical change to the An-ping area. Because the government reclaimed the land from old fish nursery and extended the building site, An-ping Village had more space for development and the construction of the community had been changed. The factors of effecting the development of An-ping Village, besides the general change of entire social environment, also includes the decline of fishing industry, the implementation of urban renewal and redevelopment plans and the promotion of culture development plans.

During that period the fishery and the manufacture of metal, ship and plastic were main industries of the An-ping community. However, due to the decrease of inshore fish recourse, diminution of fish nursery and the change of job opportunities, the fishery of An-ping Village have declined. The development and change of An-ping village was reflected in the population of village and the local religion leader culture. The population of the village increased from eight thousand in early 1950s to about sixteen thousand in 1960s. After that, the population of the village declined and the original nine sections of the village were reset to five.
