At 21:00 on August 6, the longest wooden arch bridge in China, the Wanan Bridge, was in fire. The local official issued a fire announcement in the early morning of the 7th that the flames were all extinguished and no casualties were crowded. The cause of the fire was under investigation.

China has been known as the "country of the bridge" since ancient times. Ningde City, Fujian Province has more than 50 wooden arch bridges that have been survived for decades or even hundreds of years. It can be called the treasure trove of the wooden arch bridge.

After Wan'an Bridge was burned, the cover journalist connected Huang Zi, chief expert of Zhejiang Ancient Architecture Design Research Institute. The Zhejiang Ancient Architecture Design Research Institute where Huangzi was located has participated in the restoration of the 2016 Zhejiang Taishun Corridor Bridge. Research".

The list of preparations for the application is the only local area of ​​multi -spanning wooden arcade bridge

Huangzi told the cover news reporter: "The distribution area of ​​the gallery bridge has its characteristics. This kind of wooden arch bridge is mainly distributed in the north of Minjiang and south of Minjiang River. It is relatively rare in other areas. The regional characteristics of Zhejiang area. "Huang Zi said that although he has not been to Wan'an Bridge, other staff of his team have visited Wan'an Bridge to inspect:" I have never been to myself, our team has been to our team, Because at that time, the inheritance of the Fujian -Zhejiang wood arcade bridge was inspected for the gallery bridge to be included in the preparation list of the World Cultural Heritage. Have done work. "

In 2012, Fujian and Zhejiang jointly declared the "Fujian and Zhejiang Corridor Bridge" application project, and a total of 22 gallery bridges were selected, and Wan'an Bridge was among them.

Huangzi revealed that although the bridge in Wan'an Bridge was rebuilt in 1932, the value of the cultural relics was high: "From the perspective of the construction period, the bridge left now was in 1932. It was relatively late. At that time Wanan Bridge still fancy its only nature. It is the only multi -span wooden arcade bridge in the area. "

"The general wooden arch bridge is single -span, but the Wan'an Bridge is more span. This makes it significant. In the structure system of the wooden arcade bridge, its type is different. In this area, Wan'an Bridge is the only one. Its length and its uniqueness allows us to choose it when applying for relics. "

Losses are mainly based on the value of cultural relics, and there are many local inheritors in the local area, and it is not difficult to repair Wan'an Bridge.

Huangzi is an expert in the protection of Chinese monuments. He participated in the restoration of these three bridges after the three ancient corridor bridges of the Xuezhong House Bridge, Wenzhong Bridge, and Wenxing Bridge, Zhejiang in 2016.

Huang Zi told reporters that the three ancient bridges at that time were destroyed by the flood, which may not be the same as the repair of Wan'an Bridge this time.

"At that time, the bridge of Taishun had just been washed away, and a notice was issued to the county as soon as possible, asking people along the river to rescue the components and laid a good foundation for repair. 90%of the components. After the components are retrieved, our professional team immediately goes to the scene to sort out all the components, find related information, and lift them up in accordance with the original part. Link back to every original position. "

Before restarting, a series of inspections were also conducted on the component: "Is there any damage and how much damage can it be used? Can this component be used? Or need to be repaired or pier? Waves to detect the strength performance of its components, and it is safe to ensure that it is safe to use it to build it back. "

Due to the fire, Wanan Bridge suffered the value of cultural relics due to the fire, and the difficulty of repairing was not expected: "There are more non -herediters in the construction of the gallery bridge in the northeast of Fujian and southwestern Zhejiang. Therefore, it is not difficult to repair the Wan'an Bridge. However, this is just from the perspective of the bridge, the Wan'an Bridge has been burned, and the loss is mainly the value of cultural relics. This is not a concept with the new bridge. "
