"Heart -hearted lungs! The news of seeing Wan'an Bridge burning is really sad. In retrospect, the first time it was seen in the morning fog of the Manchuhe, the longest wooden arch bridge in the country was lying quietly, like It is the dragon that shuttles in the clouds. When you see the first, you do n’t see the end, the mist is shrouded, and you can hardly peek into the two ends. At that time, you wanted to have the opportunity to bring the drone to record it in the future. After walking, I didn't expect to meet again. "

Because we talk about the gallery bridge

Many people think of a combination

"Zhejiang Fujian Bridge"

Wan'an Bridge in Fujian lost fire, Zhejiang people were worried about

The "Fujian -Zhejiang Wood Arcade Bridge" with 22 packets is missing one

At present, there are more than 100 various wooden arch bridges since the Song Dynasty in the northern Fujian area of Zhejiang. , Zhenghe, Songxi and other counties and cities.

The gallery bridge, that is, there is a bridge on the bridge on the bridge.

Among the gallery bridge family, the wooden arches in the southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian area were called "no wooden arch bridge in the history of the world bridge" by the bridge expert Mao Yisheng in my country. The craftsmen use the tenon -and -mortise connection technology. Without one nail and one rivet, the wood can be accepted and stretched out. In the end, between the high mountains and gully, the scene of "Changhong lying waves" is created.

In 2009, the traditional construction technique of Mu Gong Bridge was included in the first batch of "Urgent Cultural Heritage List" by UNESCO. In December 2011, 8 counties and cities in Zhejiang and Fujian signed the "Memorandum of Cultural Heritage of the China Wood Arcade Bridge Declaration of the World Cultural Heritage" in Qingyuan. Taishun County, Qingyuan County, and Jingning County are applying for legacy. Seven counties in the two provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang (Zhejiang Taishun, Qingyuan, Jingning, Fujian Shouning, Zhou Ning, Pingnan, Zhenghe) jointly declared together. List of "Preparatory List of China's World Cultural Heritage".

The Wan'an Bridge, which was caught fire, was one of the 22 parts of the packed application.

The wooden structure is easily destroyed by the fire and the typhoon is blooming. Many gallery bridges retained in history have been renovated and rebuilt many times. Although Wan'an Bridge was founded in the Song Dynasty, it was burned in the forty -seven years of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. The seventh year of Qianlong (1742) was rebuilt.

Liu Yan, a researcher at the 80 Corridor Bridge interviewed and the author of "Editing Wooden Arch Bridge", said that Wanan Bridge was still an extension bridge at the beginning of the last century, and when it was recovered in 1932, it was changed to a wooden arch bridge. It witnessed the upsurge of the wooden arch bridge in Fujian and Zhejiang. "In this kind of boom, many small -sized scale bridges with‘ do n’t need to edit the wood arch structure ’were built with wooden arch, which is similar to the‘ heavy distinction ’of wooden arches under the non -heritage boom today.”

Regarding the preciousness of the Wan'an Bridge, many people are talking about its "most" today: the longest -the longest nationwide wooden arch bridge: the bridge is 98.2 meters long and 4.7 meters wide. The shortest arches are 10.6 meters, and the longest arch span is 15.2 meters. On May 25, 2006, it was announced as one of the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. The longest single -span bridge in Zhejiang Qingyuan is more than 30 meters.

However, the preciousness of Wan'an Bridge is not just the longest.

The picture comes from "China Fire"

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Huang Zi, the dean of the former Zhejiang Ancient Architecture Design and Research Institute, told reporters that Wan'an Bridge is a wooden arch bridge. The distribution area of the wooden arcade bridge has characteristics, north of the Minjiang River and south of the Minjiang River. The 22 bridges of the Fujian and Zhejiang packets have uniqueness in each bridge, which means that it is not replaced. At that time, when she was prepared for the preparation, Huang Zi went to the scene and selected Wan'an Bridge into the large family of 22 gallery bridges. Why? The uniqueness of Wan'an Bridge is not the Song Dynasty, nor the longest, but a multi -crossing wooden arch bridge. Generally, the wooden arch bridges are single -span, like Taishun.

"From tonight, there are no giant wooden arched bridges with three wood arches in the world, and the last one is destroyed." On the evening of August 6, the ancient building enthusiast @Aier Min sighed "The three wooden arch is gone. "That's what I mean.

Wan'an Bridge before the fire

"There are various types of 22 bridges of the application, each of which is unique, but now it is missing one category, which is a pity." Huang Zi said that Chinese wooden buildings must be based on it. For supplement, it is too late to save it.

Since the establishment of the Organizing Committee of the Seven County of Zhejiang and Fujian in 2019, the "Articles of Association of the Protection of the Wood and Zhejiang Corridor Bridge in China and Zhejiang and Zhejiang", which includes the rescue of the endangered wood arcade bridge and the establishment of the county and city application. Coordinating mechanisms, forming application agencies in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces. Qixian regularly held a joint meeting of county and city, studying the development of wooden arcade bridges, initiating the application of the Wooden Arcade Bridge World Cultural Heritage Procedures, and jointly preparing for the application plan of the legacy, formulating the protection plan for the Zhejiang Fujian wood arcade bridge.

"Management is the most important, and prevention is the most important in management." Huang Zi said that many wooden arcade bridges in Zhejiang have "bridges."

For example, in August last year, the "Regulations on the Protection of Wenzhou Tai Shi Corridor Bridge" was officially implemented. The shrine in the gallery bridge cannot be on the incense, and the fire hazards should be avoided; do not post advertisements and stacked debris in the gallery ... This is the first special regulations for the protection of the bridge protection in the country, clarify the protection objects, management agencies, power and responsibilities. The protection of gallery bridges has been incorporated into the national economic and social development plan, and a diversified co -governance system for cultural heritage protection has been established.

Today, many people are talking about the reconstruction of Wan'an Bridge.

"The drawings of Wan'an Bridge are there." Huang Zi said, but this was a fire, not the flood was destroyed.

What's the meaning?

Zhejiang Ancient Architecture Design and Research Institute was responsible for the repair project of Xue Zhaiqiao, Wenxing Bridge, and Wenzhong Bridge in the three corridors bridge of Taishun, Zhejiang. Everyone should remember that on September 15, 2016, the typhoon rainstorm of "Moranti" caused three national security corridors in Zhejiang to be destroyed by the floods. That day was at noon that day, Huang Zi saw the first bridge on the Internet for the first time, and contacted the local cultural bureau. The first announcement was issued. —— That is, the repair has a basis to ensure the authenticity of the cultural relics. 90%of the construction was rescued as soon as possible, and each piece was recorded. After that, the "Four You" data was used to repair, including the pier pier, including the pier, including the pier, including the pier, including the pier, including the pier, including the pier, including the pier, including the pier, including the pier, The stones are the original position, which is a case of post -disaster reconstruction.

However, the situation of Wan'an Bridge is completely different.

The fire rescue video on Weibo showed that there was no fire water pipe or fire extinguisher on the Wan'an Bridge, and the public was using a bucket to fight fire. "No way. At present, you can only look at the bridge pier, I hope the stone will not burst."

The reporter saw that on July 27, 2021, Pingnan County People's Court, Pingnan County People's Procuratorate, Pingnan County Culture and Tourism Bureau, Pingnan Branch Company, Changqiao Town People's Government, Tangkou Town People's Government , Shoushan Township People's Government and other departments have signed a contract with the Judicial Heritage Cultural Heritage Protection Judicial Cooperation and signed a contract for the Cultural Heritage Insurance of the Langqiao Cultural Heritage of Pingnan County. The first batch of judicial collaboration cultural heritage protection insured is the most historic and cultural value of the county, the most historic and cultural value of Baixiang Bridge, Qiancheng Bridge, and Wan'an Bridge. This is also the first "judicial+insurance" protection ancient corridor bridge model in Fujian Province. According to the "Pingnan Court" official public account, Pingnan County Ancient Corridor Bridge Cultural Relics Insurance Protection Agreement, during the insurance period, caused damage to the bridge due to fire, explosion, lightning, heavy rain, floods, etc. The cost of the cost or the reconstruction of the original site shall be compensated by the financial insurance company in accordance with the contract. The insured amount of each bridge is 1 million yuan (RMB), and the validity period is one year.

Just after a year, now, many people have doubts about the sudden fire of Wan'an Bridge: Is there a fire detection device on the bridge and a fire extinguishing system? Is it linked to the local fire department? There are water under the bridge. Is there a high -pressure water gun? Some netizens asked: Cultural relics are not renewed. Is it to facilitate reconstruction to buy insurance?

The Wan'an Bridge during the Republic of China was rebuilt by the grandfather of Huang Chuncai. In 1954, Wanan Bridge was washed two spans, and Huang Chuncai rebuilt with his father. In 2014, Huang Chuncai built 3 cross -large wooden arch bridges in Baishuiyang. "Therefore, Wan'an Bridge is burned, and it is naturally painful from the cultural relics, but the technical inheritance cannot be recovered." Liu Yan said.

"But the reconstruction is always built today." Huang Zi said.
