The high beam bridge is close to Xizhimen 1 km in Beijing. It has a long history. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, when Song Taizong and Zhao Kuangyin were in the Northern Expedition, they fought fiercely with Yeluxian of Liao Jingzong on the banks of the Gaoliang River. This activity is also the only footprint left by Yang Jiajiang in Beijing.
During Kublai Khan's reign in Yuan Shizu, Guo Shoujing introduced the floating spring water from Changping to Wengshan Park in Xishan Mountain for the need of water transportation, and then introduced the water from Wengshan Park into the city's stagnant pool. Gaoliang River has become a necessary waterway, and a stone bridge named Gaoliang Bridge was built on the Gaoliang River. Later, Guangtong Temple was built near the high beam bridge.
When the Ming Dynasty was first established, it was said that the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty ordered Prime Minister Liu Bowen to build the capital in Beijing, but all the wells in Beijing ran out of water overnight. Liu Bowen realized that this was because he didn't pay homage to the Dragon King, which made him angry. But by this time, the Dragon King had packed the water in Beijing with a fish-scale water basket and pushed it away by car.
Liu Bowen hurriedly summoned the general to highlight, drove the water out of the city, and ordered him to break the water basket and go back as soon as possible, never looking back.
Gao Liang obeyed orders and quickly caught up with the Dragon King near the sea eye of Yuquan Mountain. The spear with a high handle broke the fish scale water basket, turned around and dragged the gun, listening to the sound of running water behind him.
Highlight went to Xizhimen and saw Liu Bowen standing on the stone bridge and waving to him. He thought it didn't matter, so he looked back. Unexpectedly, a big wave came, and the bright spots and Malaysia were swept away.
To commemorate Gao Liang, Beijingers call this stone bridge in Liu Bowen Station "Gao Liang Bridge". Later generations gradually called it a high beam bridge because of its homophonic sound. The ditch where the Dragon King rolled was called the driveway ditch, and the ditch where Gao Liang dragged his gun later became a river, called "Gaoliang River", and later called Gaoliang River, also called Jinhe River.
In the early Ming Dynasty, eunuch Liu Jin went to Guangtong Temple to burn incense with the empress dowager through a high beam bridge, which was still called Fawang Temple at that time. 1559, the Fawang Temple was rebuilt with the contribution of Tian Yong, the eunuch in charge of internal supervision, and Liang Jing, the eunuch in Yumen Circle, and renamed Guangtong Temple.

There are two stone tablets in Guangtong Temple, which were written by Xu Jie, a great scholar in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, and Li Benshu, a gentry in Yuyao, who were kings, hoping to be loyal to the national seal.
In Ming Dynasty, eunuchs who left the palace to provide for the aged all lived in Guangtong Temple, so the connection between Guangtong Temple and the palace was never interrupted.
After entering the Qing Dynasty, during the reign of Kangxi, monks donated money to repair three Buddhist temples with infinite life. In front is the Heavenly King's Hall, and behind it is the Ursa Mahayana Hall, with eighteen arhats around, and then the abbot, each with twenty-seven trees, serving as a meditation hall, a fasting hall and a kitchen. Make Guangtong Temple stand out among nearby temples and become a hot spring resort in Beijing.

After he tasted crispy noodles all the way, he praised them greatly, and later spread them to serve food, thus making crispy noodles, a traditional snack in Beijing, famous all over the world. 17 12, Emperor Kangxi wrote an imperial book for Guangtong Temple.
1733, the Qing government allocated funds to erect a monument of Yong Zhengdi Yuguangtong Temple in front of Guangtong Temple. This inscription reads "In August of the 11th year of Yongzheng, I spent a lot of money to focus on cultivation", which later showed his view that "every cultivation will destroy my love and disgust, and the life of dust will be empty".
