Weifang created the "East Asian Capital" 丨 China's first wooden structure Hongqiao

Help Weifang's creation of East Asian cultural capital. Today, let us walk into China's first wooden structure Hongqiao -Wannian Bridge.

Wannian Bridge was originally named Nanyang Bridge, commonly known as Beibei Bridge. Qingzhou Nanyang City and Dongyang City were separated by the Nanyang River. In order to solve the traffic problems between the two cities, people have exhausted all over the ages. According to historical records, the earliest time was first set up a few pillars in the river, and then set up a bridge deck on the pillars. Practice proves that this method is not working, because the floods outbreak every June and July each year, the large water collides with the wooden pillars, and three collisions. Two collisions, a snoring sound, the pillar fell to the bridge, and people's efforts were to be east. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the famous minister Xia Yan Ren Qingzhou Zhizhou. Later, he heard that a prisoner in the prison was very wise and went to prison for advice in person. The prisoner really had a bamboo chest. He said that he first used the big rock to solidify the river bank, and then cleverly interspersed the coherently interspersed. Xia Yingjing repeatedly considers and sideways, and decided to ask the prisoner to host the bridge. Later, the prisoner really set up the "flying bridge", and the structure was reasonable, and it was not bad for a long time.

This is the first wooden structure Hongqiao appearing in my country, which is a great initiative in the history of building a bridge. At that time, Zeng Zhao, who was the court of court, personally wrote a bridge, who wrote a bridge, describing the passage of the bridge. Writing the monument of writing, praising this great significance. Unfortunately, this precious monument was rushed into the bottom of the river by the flood, and it has not yet been found. It is a pity. But the inscriptions were completely preserved in the local book.

Soon, this special bridge repair technology was introduced to Jiangsu first, and later developed on the Beijing Normal University Canal. The famous painter Zhang Zhenduan once truly described the structure of Hongqiao in his famous painting "Qingming Shanghe Tu". His masterpiece created convenience for future generations.

The wooden structure of the wooden structure must not be firm for a long time, so people start to consider building stone bridges. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Shanhao, Liu Shanhao, Zhifu, Qingzhou Zhifu, was chaired by Liu Shanhao, Yidu Zhixian County. Zhixian Liu Shanhao worked hard to plan, and came to the supervisor, stood barefoot in the water, and did not leave the bottom of the bridge. Rebuilding in 1935, the stone workers in various places brought their own dry food. During the construction, there was a Li Kuiwu in Yishui County, who was sacrificed because of the land piles. To this end, Yidu County Mayor Yang Jiuwu took out 300 yuan of silver dollars to caress his family, but his father took all the silver dollars all the silver dollars. He refunded and said, "My son donated his body for the public, and he died." People from all walks of life were moved to this good stonemith.

After several rebuilds, the Wannianqiao is like icing on the cake, its scale is quite considerable, and the shape is very delicate. It is indeed a masterpiece in the history of ancient building in ancient my country. The entire bridge is composed of boulder, with a total length of 65.3 meters, 8 meters wide, and 7.9 meters high. There are six bridge pier divided into seven cross arches, and each cross -arch width is 5.4 meters. On the water surface of each bridge pier, there is a stone carving beast each. They are the head of the dragon, which looks very strange, commonly known as "ha". It is said that this "Ha" has the ability to be town water, and no matter how the flood is soaring, it can only be obediently flowing from the feet. Of course, a few stones without life will not be so magical. In fact, the designers of the bridge have accurately grasped the maximum traffic of the Nanyang River. From this we can see that the bridge -making technology at that time had a high level of scientific level. Essence

The bridge railings are all carved with white stones, high several feet, with reliefs made by the Ming Dynasty, "Twenty -Four Filial Pictures", "Songhe Tongshou", "Encounter Huangshigong under Zhang Liangzhang" and other pictures. There are 41 stone pillars in the east railings, 22 treasure bottles on the column end, 19 lions; 37 stone pillars in the west railings, 17 treasure bottles on the pillar end, and 20 lions. The size of the treasure bottle is thick and the style is different; the lion's fat and female, the body is different, it can be regarded as a local wonders.

There are many praise for Wannianqiao. Yang Yingkui of the Ming Dynasty said: "The real Qingqi strap is the Ji Gang of the Haiyu. Nantong Huaiyi, the north is connected to Yanji, there is no stagnation, how can it be aligned." The bonds of the Qi earth, the tutium between the sea -laid -to -sea, to Jianghuai and the north to Hebei, the bridge is unblocked by this bridge.
