In the Qing Dynasty, it was called Zheng Qinwang's Tomb, also known as Wang Yefen. The owner of the tomb was the emperor shunzhi Qing's uncle Jilalang, named Zheng Qinwang, and his descendants inherited it. The last Zheng Qinwang was Duan Hua, the younger brother of Su Shun, the military minister in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, who was later executed by Empress Dowager Cixi. Next to the tomb of King Zheng, there is a place where the grave keeper lives, called Hujialou. Later, Yi Xi Road was widened, and the place name Hujialou was cancelled.
Until now, the local old people used to call it Wang Yefen and Hujialou. However, buildings have mushroomed, and trees and trees are everywhere. Only the white stone bridge still retains the name of 500 years ago.
The National Library Station of Beijing Metro Line 4 is located near Baishiqiao, formerly known as Baishiqiao Station. In the 29th year of Yuan Dynasty (1292), a stone bridge was built here.
