The settlement of Hui people in Beiguan began in Ming Dynasty. According to Ma's genealogy in Beiguan, when our ancestors lived in Kaifeng, the king of Chuang decided to release the river, their ancestors Ma dengyou moved to kaocheng.

Renovation and reconstruction

During the reign of emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1661), Muslim people of Ma, Zhang, Jin, Yang and other surnames in the city made contributions to renovate the mosque. In 1778, the Yellow River burst its dyke and all the temples in the city were destroyed. In that year, the Hui people in the city rebuilt a temple in the east of the city (the site of the temple is 300 meters away from the present Temple year). In 1788, the mosque was moved to its present site. In the "Cultural Revolution", mosque houses were occupied. In 1980, the mosque reopened. Later, the Hui people raised money to rebuild the moon tower and gate tower.
