Introduction to famous bridges

Thailand's Bridge on the River Kwai

In Kanchanaburi, 122 kilometers northwest of Bangkok, there is a bridge across the River Kwai - the Bridge on the River Kwai. It reflects a period of history during World War II: when the Japanese army occupied Thailand, they forced Allied prisoners of war to build a railway connecting Myanmar and Siam. This railway was completed after countless precious lives were sacrificed, so it was called the "Death Railway". The Bridge on the River Kwai is one of these sections, known as the "Death Railway". The terrain on one side of the bridge is relatively gentle, but as soon as you cross the river there are steep peaks, and some sections are even carved on cliffs. Back then, many laborers became wandering ghosts while building the Bridge on the River Kwai.

The history of the bridge:

The Bridge on the River Kwai was originally a wooden bridge. It has been destroyed by several aircraft bombings. The remnants can only be seen when the river water is very shallow. What we see now is what happened later. The iron bridge built is still open to traffic today. After the reconstruction of the Bridge on the River Kwai, two uncoordinated square iron frames were added to the arc iron frames on both sides of the original bridge. They did not have the grace of the original arc iron frames. Many people who saw it felt that it was nondescript and out of place. The Bridge on the River Kwai can be walked in about 10 minutes. After crossing the bridge, there is a general death railway. If you keep going, you can reach Myanmar. Standing at the bridgehead of the River Kwai Bridge, looking at the beautiful River Kwai flowing quietly under the sunset, it is difficult to imagine the tragic stories that happened here. Only the unexploded bomb dropped by the US military placed at the bridgehead reminds us of the tragic event that year. war.

Beautiful vision:

Shortly after crossing the bridge, there was a Chinese notice board telling everyone that if you go down the iron stairs next to it, there will be a lot of Burmese product vendors. The current Bridge on the River Kwai no longer has a chilling atmosphere. It is completely different from the wild world in the movie. Instead, there are many shops nearby, and there are many floating restaurants on both sides of the river. The layout and scenery of these restaurants are very beautiful, and the authentic Thai food is also Very charming. Or choose to go boating on the River Kwai to see this bridge full of historical stories, or eat "shrimp, soldier and crab general", drink slightly bitter Bangkok beer, and look at the boatman's face as always...

Golden Gate Bridge

p>

Whenever people enter San Francisco, the first thing they see is a giant suspension bridge flying over the bay. This is the famous Golden Gate Bridge.

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the world's famous bridges and is known as a miracle of modern bridge engineering. The bridge stands over the Golden Gate Strait in California, which is more than 1,900 meters wide, with the longest span in the world. The Golden Gate Bridge was built in 1937 at a cost of US$3 million and is one of the largest single-hole suspension bridges in the world. It is a pioneering work in bridge architecture. It has only two pillars, so it does not use the piers to support the bridge body, but uses the huge pulling force generated by the arc-shaped suspenders on both sides of the bridge to lift the heavy bridge high. The bridge deck is 27.4 meters wide, with 6 vehicle lanes and two spacious sidewalks.

The entire bridge is magnificent and simple in shape. The bridge lies across the blue sea and white waves. At night, the bridge looks like a dragon flying in the sky and has become a symbol of San Francisco.

The Golden Gate Bridge is the symbol of San Francisco. It attracts countless tourists with its majestic momentum. However, this famous bridge has been given a new and terrifying name - the Bridge of Death. It is said that in the more than 50 years since the bridge was built, more than a thousand people have committed suicide by jumping into the sea from the Golden Gate Bridge. In order to prevent another suicide by drowning on the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco police department has deployed many security personnel on the bridge and implemented "suicide watch" using modern equipment - closed-circuit television. Despite this, the phenomenon of suicide has not been eliminated. Therefore, while it is praised by people, it also arouses new thinking among tourists.

Bridge aesthetics

Bridges are mainly used for traffic loads and crossing obstacles. This is its basic function, so the bridge must first meet this requirement.

If it is a dangerous bridge that cannot be used and is crumbling, there is no beauty to talk about. Therefore, the shape of the bridge structure should show strength, stability, continuity, spanning ability, etc., to show the guarantee of function. This naturally arouses people's sense of beauty. For bridges with different purposes, such as garden, city, highway, railway bridges, etc., or when the same purpose is used but the environmental conditions are different, the shape of the structure and various ancillary facilities should accurately and clearly show that they meet the use requirements and can Just right. This is also a factor of beauty. As for all bridges, the functional requirements for traffic use and the requirements for appreciation are not equal in importance. They vary depending on factors such as the purpose of building the bridge and the environment in which the bridge is built, and are expressed through modeling for people to understand. . For example, road bridges in desert wilderness and garden bridges in bustling cities should each choose a suitable type according to their needs.

The correct aesthetics of bridges is the integration of function, technology, economy and aesthetics, which have the same functions and beauty is contained in them.

Talk about Bridge Names (Mao Yisheng)

Everything has a name, and some even have proper names, just like people have names. Since it is a name, it must be well named. Our country's modern bridges have been influenced by the West, and they are always named from a geographical point of view. As long as you can point out its location so that people can see it at a glance, that's enough. On railways and highways, mile markers are used as names, just like the "345,678 kilometers bridge" on such and such a road, which is really unwavering. However, the names of bridges in ancient my country were not like this. It always has a literary flavor that makes people feel emotional and unforgettable after seeing it. It may be chronicle and lyrical, arousing deep thoughts and daydreams; or it may be poetic and picturesque, making the heart relaxed and happy. In this way, through careful naming, the history, role or influence of a bridge can be immediately revealed, making it easy to spread. The "worth" of the bridge has also increased as a result. Once a bridge becomes famous, its names will also increase. In addition to its official name, it also has common names, aliases, etc. Just like a person's name, in addition to its scientific name, it also has aliases, small characters, etc. Some of them were formed naturally and gradually among the people, while others were used by scholars to name themselves. In short, it has become a custom to inscribe bridge achievements and it is also a feature of ancient Chinese culture.

The title of the bridge does not have many characters, just like the name of a person, it usually has two characters, sometimes only one character. Only one or two characters can show the characteristics of the bridge, which is the wonderful use of Chinese characters. This is due to the many allusions in our country's history and the rich idioms in literature. The wealth in literature and history greatly adds glory to the name of the bridge. However, there are many bridges, and allusions and idioms about them also serve literature and history. For example, in "Historical Records", the phrase "faith is like a tail life" comes from the allusion of bridge, and in "Afang Palace Fu", the phrase "long bridge lies on the waves" comes from the idiom of bridge. If the name of the bridge is well inscribed, it will make a contribution to literature and history. The name of the bridge is so important.

Now let’s introduce some bridge names to get a glimpse of the richness of our country’s bridge literature, which may be unparalleled in the world. Let’s talk about single names first. The more famous ones include: "Lanqiao" on the Lanxi River in Lantian County, Shaanxi, "it is said that there is a fairy cave there, which is where Tang Pei Hang met Yunying"; "Fengqiao" is in Suzhou, and Tang Zhang Ji's "Fengqiao Night" "Moor" poem; "Broken Bridge" in Hangzhou West Lake, Zhang Hu's poem in the Tang Dynasty: "Broken Bridge with moss and moss", Mo Zhong in the Ming Dynasty had the poem "Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow" and so on. However, the single-name bridge often refers to it in general, but it may be a proper name. Some of them are named after the material, such as "Stone Bridge". Emperor Wen of Liang Jian wrote a poem "Stone Bridge": "When I write about the rainbow, I want to drink. "The stars look real"; "Iron Bridge", Wu Zhaoyuan of the Ming Dynasty wrote the poem "Crossing the Iron Bridge": "A group of treasure rafts are crossing, and the golden ropes are eight ways open"; "Bamboo Bridge", Du Fu's poem "Viewing the Construction of Bamboo Bridges", etc. Some indicate the location of the bridge, such as "Mountain Bridge", Liang Jian Emperor Wen's poem: "Lying stone vines are used as cables, mountain bridge trees are used as beams"; "Jiang Bridge", Tang Du Fu's poem: "Mountain counties close the market early, Jiangqiao spring "Gathering Boats"; "Wild Bridge", a poem by Liu Changqing of the Tang Dynasty: "The wild bridge is broken by the rain, and the stream flows to the fields" etc. Some specify the shape of the bridge, such as "square bridge", a poem by Han Yu in the Tang Dynasty: "If you want to ask about a square bridge, the square bridge is like this"; "slant bridge", a poem by Ouyang Xiu in the Song Dynasty: "The waves are willow-colored and blue, and the slanted bridge in Quzhu "Hua Ge Tong"; "Hua Bridge", a poem by Fan Yuqiu of the Song Dynasty: "The painting bridge hangs outside the willows as promised, reflecting the setting sun with a touch of red"; "Zhu Bridge", a poem by Zheng Gu of the Tang Dynasty: "The Zhu Bridge goes straight to Jinmen Road, and the pink battlements "Gaolian Yulei Cloud"; "overpass", both in Baodezhou, Taiyuan, Shanxi and Dali, Yunnan. In Dali, "the lower part is broken and the upper part is connected, with stone beams spanning it. The two rocks are splashed with water and beads, just like plum blossoms. People call them the unforgettable plum blossoms." wait.

Some are related to bridge scenery, such as "Flower Bridge", which is found in Ningde County, Fujian, Changyang County, Hubei, and Guilin, Guangxi. Guilin is known as "Flower Bridge Misty Rain"; "Liu Bridge", in the West Lake of Hangzhou, was created by Bangyan of Song Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty. Words: "When the water rises, the fish will fall over the willow bridge" etc. Some are more special, such as "Grass Bridge" outside You'anmen Gate in Beijing; "Xi Bridge" in Dongping County, Shandong Province. "It is said that Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty sealed his eastward seal on Mount Tai, and used mats to spread out while driving by"; "Gua Bridge" , Fuyang County, Zhejiang Province, "it is said that Sun Zhong set up a melon on this bridge"; "Duck Bridge" is in Shaanxi City, Shaanxi Province. "Jinqiao" was in Shangdang, Shanxi, and Tang Panyan wrote "Jinqiao Fu". There are even more weird things, such as the "hidden bridge". In Jianping County, Anhui, "it is said that soldiers ran to Wu and took shelter in the mountains. The pursuers came here, and the clouds protected them. When the soldiers reached the bridge, the sky was dark"; "Ghost Bridge" , "Beginner's Notes" "There is a ghost bridge above"; "Red Bridge", on the North Canal of Jinshui River in Taiyuan, Shanxi, "Taizong of the Song Dynasty chiseled Wolong Mountain, and the blood flowed out to form a river, so it was renamed today", etc.

It is most common and standardized to use two characters in the name of a bridge. There are many bridges with single names, and there are many more bridges with double names. Just imagine, every bridge has a name. How many bridge names would there be in our ancient country! However, among the thousands of single and double names, there are not many that are repeated. If all the bridge names were collected , compiled into a "List of Bridges in China", it should be grand enough.

Now let’s give some examples of double names to illustrate the richness and variety of bridge names. According to the reflected content, a "Bridge Directory" can be divided into five chapters.

The first chapter is "Praise". First of all, it praises the function of bridges, such as "Anji Bridge", that is, "Zhaozhou Bridge", a "big stone bridge" on the Nanhe River in Zhao County, Hebei Province, which is unique and "a trace of Sui craftsman Li Chun"; "Anqiao", also known as "Luoyang Bridge", is used to cross the sea in Quanzhou, Fujian. "It is easy to get away by boat, and the people are in danger." "Anping Bridge" was built in Jinjiang, Fujian Province in the 22nd year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty. It is 2070 meters long and is commonly known as "Wuli Bridge". It has the old saying "There is no bridge in the world." "This bridge" legend. Secondly, there are those that praise the people who built bridges, such as "Jima Bridge", which was "built by the resident daughter Jima in Xiaogan County, Hubei Province"; "Couple Bridge", which is the bamboo cable bridge in Guan County, Sichuan, was built by He Xiande in the Qing Dynasty and was not completed. His wife continued to build it; "Ge Jing Bridge" was built in Pingyue, Guizhou, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. "It was built repeatedly by water, but the third building was completed, and a huge amount of money was spent, all the family assets were exhausted."

The second chapter is "Chronicle", which records the stories passed down about the bridge. For example, the "Wanli Bridge" is located outside the south gate of Chengdu, Sichuan. "In the past, Kongming paid a farewell fee to hire Wu here, saying that the journey of thousands of miles began here." Lu Gong of the Tang Dynasty wrote "Ode to Wanli Bridge", Lu Dafang of the Song Dynasty wrote the poem "Wanli Bridge", Du Fu's poem: "The West House of Wanli Bridge, the North Village of Baihuatan", and the poem of Zhang Ji of the Tang Dynasty: "There are many restaurants beside Wanli Bridge, and tourists love to go there." Who will stay at home?"; Su Shi's poem of the Song Dynasty: "I want to go back and look for the Wanli Bridge, the water is splashing in the wind and the leaves are rustling at dusk"; Lu You's poem of the Song Dynasty: "The carved saddle sees off guests at the Shuangliu Station, and the silver candle looks at the Wanli Bridge with flowers." "Maqiao", also known as "Shengxian Bridge", is located in the north of Chengdu, Sichuan. Sima Xiangru of the Western Han Dynasty did not want to be poor and lowly, and determined to be an official. "The title of Zhu Yun says that if a man does not ride in a carriage, he will never cross this bridge again." Tang Cen's " The poem "Shengxian Bridge": "I was riding a carriage, but I was returning from the bridge." Song Jingbo's "Ma Qiao Ji" said: "The bridge is built in the name of a horse, so the traces of Chang Qing will not be lost." "Lanting" Bridge", in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, "where the King of Jin's right army repaired the river, under the bridge there were fine rocks and shallow lava, and the sound of water continued day and night." "Ear-washing Bridge" is located in Ruzhou, Henan. It is said that Yao wanted to cede the world to Xu You. Xu You thought he was noble and thought that hearing this would dirty his ears. The bridge is located at "the place where Xu You washed his ears". "Hu Crossing Bridge" is also known as Jiangdong Bridge in Zhangzhou, Fujian. "The bridge south of the Yangtze River is the first Tiger Crossing. In the past, when we wanted to build a bridge, a tiger carried his son across the river and rested in the middle of the river... because the site of the fortress was used as a bridge." "Xiaoshi Bridge" is the "Xiaoshi Bridge" in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. "It is said that the night market was opened here during the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty."

The third chapter is "lyrical", expressing thoughts and feelings through the name of the bridge. For example, "Ecstasy Bridge", also known as "Ba Bridge", is located in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. "People from the Eastern Han Dynasty saw off their guests on this bridge and broke willows to say goodbye." Because "I took Jiang Yan's farewell poem and called it the Ecstasy Bridge". Wang Zhihuan's poem of the Tang Dynasty: "The willow trees are in the east wind, and the green trees are sandwiched between the river. It has been painful to climb and break recently, probably because of the many separations." Ming Ge Yilong's poem: "Flowers fly on the bridge and water falls on the bridge, and the heartbroken people are the people crossing the bridge." "Homesickness Bridge", In Fengrun, Hebei Province, "Song Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty crossed the bridge at the north end, stopped his horse and looked around, and said calmly, I am crossing this way to the desert, and it is as safe as this water to return to my hometown... People call it the bridge of homesickness." "To Xiqiao", in Guang'an, Sichuan, "In the past, Ouyang Xiu entered Shu from Wu, and the dangerous road to Xiqiao stopped at this point."

"The End of Love Bridge" is located in Jianyang, Sichuan. The poem "Inscribed on the End of Love Bridge" by Emperor Yongtao of the Tang Dynasty reads in sequence: "Yang'an sends guests to the Bridge of End of Love and asks them why. The left and right people say that the place to see off and welcome ends here." "Bridge of Ingratitude", In Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, "Zhongguan was first selected and entered the Donghua Gate. There was a bridge inside the gate called Huang'en Bridge... It was commonly called Wang'en Bridge, because Zhongguan was rich and noble, so he would be blamed for his hatred and humiliation."

The fourth chapter is "Scenery Description", beautifying the bridge and surrounding scenery. For example, "Cuihong Bridge" in Wujiang, Jiangsu Province, the bridge body is ringed like a half moon and as long as a hanging rainbow. The poem "Cuihong Bridge" written by Wang Anshi of Song Dynasty said: "It boasts the beauty of Kyushu, its magnificence is incomparable." "Chunbo Bridge", in In Shaoxing, Zhejiang, a poem by He Zhizhang said: "I have been away from my hometown for many years, and recently people have been half-tired. I can only see the lake water in front of the door, and the spring breeze will not change the old waves." Therefore, it was named this bridge. "Begonia Bridge" in Huangzhou, Hubei Province, "In the Song Dynasty, begonias bloomed on the side of the bridge. Qin Guanchang lay drunk here and will inscribe the pillars tomorrow." "Rouge Bridge" is named after the Poyang King Xiaoyan lived a luxurious life in Raozhou, Jiangxi Province. There were palace people in his house, and the water flowing out to wash rouge dyed the water under the bridge red. "Moon-like Bridge", in Qingzhou, Shandong Province, "quarried stone condenses like nature". "Green Poplar Bridge" is located in Qishui, Hubei Province. "It was named because the east slope was drunk and lying on the bridge, and there was a saying that 'the saddle is lifted and the pillow is pillowed on the Green Poplar Bridge'". According to the preface of Su Shi's poem "Moon over the West River": "Walking on the Qishui River on a spring night... I came to a bridge over a stream. I untied my saddle and bent my arms. I lay down drunk for a short rest, and it was already dawn... I wrote this sentence on the bridge pillar." This is the bridge. also.

The fifth chapter is "Supernatural", which connects gods and bridges, mostly related to Taoism. For example, the "Saint's Bridge" in Baishui, Shaanxi is said to have been built by three goddesses in one night. "White Crane Bridge", in Jurong, Jiangsu, "the three Mao brothers rode a crane here during the Yongyuan period of the Han Dynasty. There is the White Crane Bridge, where Lord Damao rode a white crane to meet the immortals." "Jixian Bridge" is located in Anfu, Jiangxi Province. "It is said that residents heard the fairy music lingering on the bridge at night, and when they looked at it, they only saw the characters "Shu Lu Dong Bin" on the bridge pillars. "Chengyu Bridge", in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, is "the place where the ancient harp rode a carp and became an immortal". "Zhaoying Bridge" is located in Shishou, Hubei Province. "It is said that an immortal took a photo here."

The above is a list of single-character and double-character bridges. Of course there are bridge names with three, four or more characters, but they are very rare. The most famous three-character bridge name is Twenty-Four Bridge, located in Yangzhou, Jiangsu. The "twenty-four bridges" in Du Mu's poem of the Tang Dynasty: "Twenty-four bridges on a moonlit night, where can beauties teach me how to play the flute?" Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty said in "Mengxi Bi Tan" that they were twenty-four bridges and listed their names. , but according to the poem "Yangzhou Slow" written by Jiang Baishi in the Southern Song Dynasty: "Twenty-four bridges are still there, the waves are swaying, and the cold moon is silent. Reading the red medicine beside the bridge, you will know who you are born for every year." It is like a bridge. Later, Liang Zhangju of the Qing Dynasty mentioned in "Wang Ji Cong Tan" that on the bridge next to Meng Yusen's house, there was a list of "Twenty-Four Bridges", which shows that "Twenty-Four" has become the proper name of a bridge. However, there are no other examples of bridges that use numbers as proper names. Some of them just use numbers as a preface, such as Du Fu's poem "I don't know Nantang Road, but now I know the fifth bridge." Four or more characters such as "Old Huanhua Bridge", "Yangliu River Bridge", "Deyang Wang Bridge" (the above are all in Chengdu), "Xinxueqian Bridge", "Jianfu Wooden Bridge" (the above are all in Nanchang), " "New Hotel Stone Bridge" (Wenjiang County, Sichuan) and so on, some of them are related to place names or people's names, and the rest are explanations of bridges with single or double names, not complete proper names. Therefore, there are basically only two types of bridge names in China: single names and double names. If we collect both of them in the "Bridge Directory", there will be very few left.

However, not all ancient bridges in my country have proper names. Some originally had no names, but later someone called them casually, and gradually they became names, such as "Big Bridge", "Small Bridge", "New Bridge", "Old Bridge", "Long Bridge", "Short Bridge", "South Bridge", etc. Northbridge" and so on. These "common names", over time, became "correct names". For example, "Little Bridge" in Fuzhou was named because it was near the "Wanshou Bridge" bridge, and thus became a proper name. Some "bridges" are very famous, but in fact there is no such bridge, such as "Chen Bridge" in Kaifeng, Henan
