The Yang Bridge was originally a wooden bridge spanning the old Lugang River, which has undergone several reconstructions to achieve its current appearance. According to local sources, in the 51st year of the Kangxi era (1712), when immigrants from Quanzhou arrived in Taiwan, they brought with them the sacred statue of Lord Wu, the deity with a royal cap and flowing beard, for safe navigation. A temple was established in Lugang to honor him, and worshippers offered their incense and reverence. The original temple was constructed in the Dingwei year of the Qianlong era (1787) using bamboo. In the ninth year of the Daoguang era (1829), it was rebuilt with earth materials. In the first year of the Guangxu era (1875), land was purchased for reconstruction, and the temple later became extremely popular, often overcrowded. In the 67th year of the Republic of China (1978), it underwent repairs, and it was rebuilt in the 81st year (1992), with its current form completed in 1993.
