This Yangzhou team reconciled the ancient red bridge with a tenon -and -mortise process

There are neither bridge pier, nor nails, no rivets, and a wooden arch bridge that is connected by tenon -mortise -Hongqiao, which is quietly arranged on the northern nursing city of the ancient city of Yangzhou, which complements the Yechun Garden next to the shore. Let's walk into the pleasant wood industry to build a wooden bridge, visit its story of adhering to traditional craftsmanship and adhering to the feelings of craftsmen.

Restore the Red Bridge of "Red Bridge Xiu"

In the mercenary wood, Yao Youtao, a 66 -year -old person in charge, introduced the magic of the tenon -and -mortise structure of the wooden arch bridge. I can see a mini -arch bridge in the exhibition hall. It uses a beam technology without a nail and one rivet, and connects the component by connecting the tenon -and -mortise connection to form a very stable arch bridge. "Although this is a model, a few big guys stand on the bridge, and the bridge will not collapse."

"The tenon is the treasure left by the ancestor. When the tenon and one fold, the tennis and one fold, the essence of the traditional woodworking culture of China for thousands of years." He has been awarded from generation to generation to generation, and he has been adhering to this craft for more than 50 years.

The re -built Red Bridge was built in the late Ming Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, located in the northwest of Yangzhou City, and entered the intersection of the lake in the moat. "How many literati Saoke Yaju Hongqiao Xiu Xiu has made Yechun Society and Hongqiao become a cultural resort.

Do not take a lunter to the hair

"According to the classics, we strive to seek the real appearance in the historical description." Yao Youtao introduced that the bridge was designed by the garden department of the scenic area. Under the technical guidance of Wu Yulin, a non -genetic inheritor in Yangzhou, combined with multiple suggestions, referring to the water in the Song Dynasty in the Song Dynasty Classic methods such as Hongqiao, Xiangyang Tangcheng Scenic Area, and other classic methods, are constantly optimizing, repeatedly scrutinized, carefully pondered, and designed and produced.

During the production process, Yao Youtao led the team to skillfully grasp the heat of the tenon -and -mortise connection, and installed each detail. He said that the most important secret of tenon -and -mortise connections is to use cleverness and master the degree of matching of the length of the wood and the deduction, so as to achieve "strict and strictness and not being able to send."

In addition to the mortise process, the fire is pure, and the technology of the beam is also the key to bridge. Yao Youtao introduced that in the construction, it is also one of the important processes to be skilled in the construction of seedlings. The so -called "seedlings" are wood, which is called "seedlings" on the bridge building. "In layman's terms,‘ editing beam ’is like interspersed with the method of weaving with and weaving, just like a basket.”

After more than 3 months of construction, the task of making and installation of Hongqiao was successfully completed. The entire bridge was 17.3 meters long, the bridge deck was 3.7 meters wide, and 16 meters spanned.

Shouchong, innovate

Today, there are fewer and less wooden arch bridges made of such technology. "The tenon -wood arch bridge is strong and durable. The red bridge on the Beicheng River has a dynamic load of 25 tons. More than 200 people continue to cross the bridge steadily.

While adhering to the traditional craftsmanship, using modern technology to make wood products rejuvenating new vitality. In the production workshop, you can see two huge pressure tanks. Here, wood has the function of anti -corrosion and flame retardant. "Generally, normal anticorrosive wood is rotten for about 5 to 8 years. We cooperate with the Guangdong Academy of Forestry to adopt new processes.

Why is it so confident? This comes from their unique processing process. Yao Youtao explained that during the dried heat treatment process of hardwood, first pumping out of the water to discharge the water of the wood, and then inject preservatives diluing into the time according to the timing. After some complex crafts such as pressurization, stabilization, discharge, and rear vacuum, the hardwood instantly allowed the hardwood to instantly. With "King Kong is not bad". "Among them, the most critical control, the grasp of the fire is just right." Yao Youtao said.

It is worth mentioning that the old wooden building is also the best of Yao Youtao's team. The ratio of chemical agents and the mastery of the heat in the contraction and expansion of the wood, they are familiar with them, making old products antique, and they are favored and praised by customers.

Let this craft pass from generation to generation

Participate in the construction of the World Expo Garden, build Yuhuatang, which builds Yangzhou Huadu, Tmall housing on Changchun Road, and Pearl Hospital of 328 National Highway. The debut in the project not only gained word of mouth, but also achieved benefits. In recent years, they have also moved to the province. Shandong, Henan, Shanghai and other places have products of this team.

Guardians are only for one party. Today, Yao Youtao is cultivating inheritance successors. He said: "The old ancestors stayed, and I had to let it" survive ". I have to make this craft better and continue to integrate modern technology innovation to make it more vitality."
