Yangqiao was originally a wooden bridge spanning the old Lugang River, which has been rebuilt several times to its current appearance. According to the temple's records, in the 51st year of the Kangxi reign (1712), when immigrants from Quanzhou came to Taiwan, they respectfully brought the statue of the local deity, Lord Wu, adorned with a royal cap and flowing beard, to ensure safe passage, and established a temple in Lugang for him, becoming the deity of the ship's bow, worshipped by the locals. In the Dingwei year of the Qianlong reign (1787), the initial temple was constructed using bamboo tubes, and in the 9th year of the Daoguang reign (1829), it was rebuilt with earthen walls. In the 1st year of the Guangxu reign (1875), land was purchased for reconstruction, and after that, the temple became a bustling site for worship. In the 67th year of the Republic of China (1978), it was renovated again, and in the 81st year (1992), it was rebuilt, completing its current form in the 83rd year.
