Originally called the Tower of Orderly Administration (Qizhenglou), it underwent renovations during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In 1420, during the reign of the Yongle Emperor of the Ming dynasty, the tower was rebuilt to the east of its original location. Then, in 1800, during the reign of the Jiaqing Emperor of the Qing dynasty, the building underwent large-scale renovations.
