In the seventh year of Song Dynasty (1 17 1), people often stayed in the wild to wait on them day and night in order to cross the river. Zeng Wang, the prefect of Chaozhou County, said, "Take the boat as the beam, and there are six in eighty, so as to connect the east and west banks, paving stones in the middle, so as to benefit its situation and take its root. In March, it was called Jikang Bridge. "This is the earliest Guangji Bridge.

In the summer of the first year of Xichun (1 174), Jikang Bridge was destroyed by ruthless flood three years later. Chang Yi, the successor, rebuilt it and increased the number of uprights to 106, forming a spectacular scene of "ferns intertwined with grass and dragons lying across the rainbow".

In the tenth year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (1435), the bridge was destroyed by flood again. Roy, the magistrate, took repairing the bridge as his responsibility and unified the name of the whole bridge: Guangji Bridge.

In the eighth year of Zheng De (15 13), Guangji Bridge was damaged by a typhoon, and the magistrate Tan Lun "continued to carry out repairs as usual", adding a pier and the first floor, and subtracting six boats from Fuzhou, forming a pattern of "18 shuttles and 24 continents". Since then, Guangji Bridge has experienced several ups and downs, but the basic pattern has not changed much.

1958 was changed to three-hole steel truss and two high-piled platform bridges, and all the stone piers were strengthened.

1988, Guangji Bridge was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
