Shiqiao Street, formerly known as "Wuxu Street", was built during the Wuxu Period of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1898). According to Quxian Annals of the Republic of China, Wuxu Street reaches Chaozhen well in the west, connects with Si Qian in Xi 'an, leaves Tongxianmen in the south and Fu Xue in the east. Now, there may not be many people in Quzhou who know about Wuxu Street, but everyone knows only Shiqiao Street. The Lion Bridge, recorded in the Records of Quzhou Prefecture by Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, is located in Taipingfang (at the bottom of Mazhan), on the right side of Dajing today. Kuixingmen outside Tongxianmen, formerly known as "Qinghuimen", was commonly known as "Thousand Households" during the Republic of China. Because during the Jubilee of the Southern Song Dynasty, the county people's Maozi was the champion of the senior high school entrance examination, and his former residence was in this area. Later, a county magistrate renamed qinghui Gate Kuixingmen.

Lion Bridge Street first comes from Lion Bridge City, and then from Lion Bridge Street. In the Song Dynasty, merchants from Quzhou gathered and prospered. In the tenth year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty (1077), the business tax of Quzhou City ranked second among the 11th governments of Liang Zhedao, second only to the Hangzhou government. After the Song Dynasty moved south, the grass market around Qucheng also developed rapidly. Surrounded by four market towns such as Anren City, there are more than ten grass markets such as Shili, Houxi and Yingchuan. Shiqiao Town was probably developed during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. By the Qing Dynasty, the economic development of Quzhou seemed to be stagnant, but Quzhou City was still the distribution center of grain, salt, medicinal materials and timber in western Zhejiang. Near Shiqiao City in the city, in the long years, houses were built, residential areas were formed, and then streets appeared. Shiqiao Street and Heather Street should be formed like this. Therefore, Lion Bridge Street is named after Lion Bridge Market.
