Speaking of the origin of Dashiqiao, according to relevant historical records, it is related to the artificial diversion of Jinshui River. As early as 1930s, Jinshui River flowed into the urban area from the birthplace of Laohugou Village in the southwest suburb, passed Shunhe Street and Heying Street (now Jiefang Road) to the center of Crossstreet (now Erqi Square), turned to the northeast, circled the old city to the north gate, and then flowed eastward into Jia Luhe. At that time, the Jinshui River was busy, and the garbage and feces in the river increased, which led to the blockage of the river and the incomplete dikes, and became a stinking river that was often flooded.

1939 in July and August, Zhengzhou was flooded with continuous heavy rain, and the Jinshui River was flooded, so it was impossible to vent. It entered the flat land of the city, and the water depth was several feet. Standing at the west entrance of West Street, I saw a piece of Wang Yang, and all the shops and households were filled with water. After the water receded, the silt was as thick as three or four feet, which affected urban institutions, schools, industry and commerce, and the masses complained bitterly. After the flood, people from all walks of life and residents in Zhengzhou are eager to harness Jinshui River and eradicate the flood as soon as possible.

1945 after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, all walks of life seem to be prospering gradually. At the request of the people, the construction department at that time, with the sponsorship of wealthy merchants of Yin merchants and local gentlemen, the villagers enthusiastically went to work and shipped stones from Gong County. Soon, a double-hole stone arch bridge with a length of 10 meters and a width of 3 meters was erected on the Jinshui River in the north of Gong Ming Road. Everyone is happy to call this bridge "Stone Bridge" and spread it widely. After liberation, in order to meet the needs of industrial and agricultural production and construction, the people's government allocated special funds to transform the stone bridge into a three-hole reinforced concrete bridge with a width of 34 meters and a height of 6.5 meters. In order to respect the customs of the masses, the new bridge is still named "Dashiqiao".
