When was this overpass built? There is no clear record in historical materials. Francis, a poet in the late Qing Dynasty, mentioned in his poem: "Tianqiao existed in the Yuan Dynasty, and the bridge was at the south gate of Beijing, which was the only place for prostitutes to swim the river in the Yuan Dynasty." In the Yuan Dynasty, the southern suburbs were low-lying and densely covered with rivers. The Temple of Heaven was built seven miles southeast of the main entrance of Daduli. The emperor sacrificed to heaven and built a bridge across the river from the main entrance of Li to the south, which may be the embryonic form of the overpass after the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty (1403 ~ 1424), the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Xiannong were built in the outer city. There is an east-west urban drainage ditch in the north of the two altars, commonly known as Longxugou. There is a bridge on the ditch, which has become a "flyover". The name and shape of the bridge are not clearly recorded.
Why is Tianqiao in Beijing called Tianqiao? The original overpass is located in the northwest of the Temple of Heaven and crosses Longxugou in the north-south direction. This bridge is the only bridge that the emperor must pass when he goes to the Temple of Heaven to worship heaven, which means the bridge leading to heaven, so it is called "overpass". The original overpass had a bridge, and a single-hole high arch bridge of white marble was built here in the Ming Dynasty to connect the "Imperial Road". The emperor was also called the son of heaven, and the son of heaven took the bridge, so it was called the overpass. This is the origin of the overpass. Overbridges are usually sealed with wooden fences, and no one can pass except the emperor and the old man. Generally, officials and people can only take wooden bridges on both sides. The original river channel under the bridge gradually evolved into Longxugou. "In the thirty-second year of Guangxu (1906), the road from Zhengyangmen to Yongdingmen was renovated, and all the stones originally laid on this road were removed and changed into gravel roads, and the overpass was also changed into a low stone bridge. 1929 due to the inconvenience of trams, the overpass bridge was leveled, but there were still stone railings on both sides. 1934, the road from Zhengyangmen to Yongdingmen was widened, the stone railings on both sides of the overpass were all removed, and the overpass bridge site no longer existed. "
Where is the Beijing overpass? Beijing overpass is located outside Zhengyangmen in the east of Xuanwu District, Beijing. In ancient times, it was used by the emperor in the Temple of Heaven and the Xiannongtan, so it was called the overpass. After many transformations, it was completely demolished on 1934, and the bridge site no longer exists. Later, it existed as the place name of beijing beijing overpass.
Qing Dynasty's Records of Guangxu Shuntian Mansion recorded Beijing Tianqiao: "Yongdingmen Street, north of Zhengyangmen Street, Jingsan. There are bridges and overpasses. " Yi Shunding, a famous poet at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, wrote in "Tianqiao Qu" that "many wanderers play with wine and drums and don't remember home", which indicates the prosperity of Tianqiao at that time.
Originally, there was a white marble bridge, under which was a small river Longxugou, covering Zhengyangmen Street, passing south through east and west zhushikou, northwest of Tanmen Temple of Heaven and north of Yongdingmen, and then forming an overpass market with Beijing flavor.
Before liberation, many artists "dumped the ground" near the overpass, that is, drawing a white circle on the ground as a performance venue. At that time, juggling was a major feature of the Tianqiao market, with many items and superb skills, including bow drawing, knife lifting, diabolo shaking, barbecued pork, middle string, hard qigong and so on.
Tianqiao area refers to the south of zhushikou, north of Yongdingmen, east to the Temple of Heaven and west to Xiannongtan. At that time, Tianqiao was the representative of civilian areas, where people could shop, watch acrobatics and taste some delicious food.
Where is the overpass in old Beijing? Outside Zhengyangmen, east of Xuanwu District, Beijing. According to the Qing Dynasty's "Guangxu Shuntian Mansion Records", "Yongdingmen Street Beijing Overpass, north of Zhengyangmen Street, Jingsan. There are bridges and overpasses. " This bridge was used by the Emperor of Heaven to worship heaven at the Temple of Heaven and the Xiannongtan, so it was called Tianqiao. According to records, this overpass built in the Yuan Dynasty has white marble railings on both sides in the north and south direction. There is a pavilion to the north of the bridge. The bridge is very high.
In the thirty-second year of Guangxu, Gao Qiao of the overpass was removed from the Beijing overpass and replaced with a low stone slab bridge. After many reconstructions, it was completely demolished in 1934, and the bridge site no longer exists, but the overpass was kept as a place name. Historically, Tianqiao area is a region with its own characteristics, but it is not a formal administrative division.

The overpass originally had a white marble bridge with three beams and four columns. Under the bridge is Longxugou, a small river from west to east. It was named Tianqiao because it was the only way for emperors of Ming and Qing Dynasties to sacrifice to the Temple of Heaven. Its scope includes Zhengyangmen Street, passing through the east and west zhushikou to the south, reaching the northwest of the Temple of Heaven and the north of Yongdingmen. Later, another "Beijing flavor" Tianqiao market was gradually formed.
Before liberation, many Jianghu artists "dumped the ground" on the overpass. The so-called "falling to the ground" means drawing a white circle on the ground as a performance venue, and the jargon is "drawing a pot". Pots are used for cooking. Draw a pot, and the artist will have a bowl of rice to eat and a venue. The juggling performance in Tianqiao market is a major feature, with many projects and superb skills.
