Before liberation, the Bailang River divided Weixian, the predecessor of Weifang City, into two cities, one large and one small. Qiaoxi is the main city, called the city, and Qiaodong is a small town, called Dongguan. The city and Dongguan are connected by a small wooden bridge, which is often washed away by the flood of the river. In the 23rd year of the Republic of China (1934), it was rebuilt into a reinforced concrete bridge. This bridge is more than 100 meters long, about 12 meters high and more than 6 meters wide, so it was named Chaoyang Bridge. 1948 After the liberation of Wei County, Weifang Special City was established. In memory of Deng Fa, Bo Gu, Ye Ting, Wang Ruofei and other martyrs who died in a plane crash on the way back to Yan 'an from Chongqing on April 8, 1946, Chaoyang Bridge was named "Ruofei Bridge", and the street connecting the two cities was renamed. The city street in the west is named "Deng Fa Street" and the street in the east is named "Deng Fa Street".

In the early 1970s, if the Qiao Fei Bridge could not meet the traffic demand at that time, it was rebuilt, and the bridge was completed and opened to traffic in July 1973. The rebuilt new bridge was renamed Dongfeng Bridge, which is a three-hole hyperbolic arch bridge, with a height of18m and a width three times that of the original bridge. The street connected by the bridge was also renamed Dongfeng Street. Now, the east of Bailang River is called Dongfeng East Street and the west is called Dongfeng West Street.

During the period of 1996, Dongfeng Bridge was expanded and rebuilt by means of investment and construction of transferring naming rights and advertising management rights. Weifang Yaxing Chemical Group became her investment and construction unit, and was named after Yaxing Bridge. This time, on the basis of the original bridge, two bridges were built on both sides, which were integrated with the original bridge. The main bridge deck is 36 meters with a total width of 43 meters. In the center of the bridge, four stainless steel arched square columns hold up a stainless steel sculpture with a star pattern, which has become a major landscape in Weifang.
