Founded in the 26th to 28th year of Jiajing (1547-1549 AD), it was proposed by fan Zhizhen, the then governor of Hanyang, when he repaired Yuji's palace to record the merits of Dayu's flood control. The word "Qingchuan" in the name takes the meaning of the poem "Qingchuan calendar Hanyang tree" in the Yellow Crane Tower by Cui Hao, the great poet of Tang Dynasty.

Since the beginning of its construction, the pavilion and Yuji palace have been revived and abandoned for several times. In the 400 years since Jiajing, it has been repaired and rebuilt five times and rebuilt twice.

In 1864, Zhong Qian, the governor of Hanyang, presided over the reconstruction.

In 1935, Qingchuan pavilion was blown down by the wind, and Yuji palace survived. In 1983, the people's Government of Wuhan organized the repair of Yuji palace and rebuilt Qingchuan Pavilion.

The existing building is based on the historical photos of Qingchuan Pavilion in the late Qing Dynasty and the scope of the site, which was designed by Wuhan Architectural Design Institute.

The corridor along the eaves vividly represents the magnificent style of the Chu people who built platforms and pavilions on the platforms.
