Luoyang bridge three tour guides

Article 1: Luoyang Bridge Tour Guide Words

Hello everyone! First of all, welcome everyone to visit Quanzhou.

Quanzhou is a famous historical and cultural city with a history of 1700 years. As early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, Quanzhou was known as an important trading port in the East. Businessmen, scholars and missionaries from all over the world flocked to Quanzhou, leaving many extremely precious historical and religious relics and classical buildings. There are seven major religions in Quanzhou, namely Buddhism, Taoism, _ _ _ _ _, Catholicism, Islam and Brahmanism. This is extremely rare in the world. Therefore, Quanzhou is known as a religious museum, and Quanzhou is also the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, which proves the economic development and social prosperity of Quanzhou Port at that time. Today, our first stop is the great ancient building in Quanzhou &; Mdash& ampmdash Luoyang Bridge.

Luoyang Bridge, also known as Wan 'an Bridge. Located in the east of Quanzhou 13 km, it is a national key cultural relics protection unit. It, together with Lugou Bridge in Beijing, Zhao Zhouqiao Bridge in Hebei and Guangji Bridge in Guangdong, is called the four famous bridges in ancient China. It was the only way for Guangdong and Fujian to enter Beijing at that time. At this point, the guest may ask questions. Luoyang Bridge should be in Luoyang, Henan. Why is this bridge called Luoyang Bridge? According to relevant records, as early as before the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were Vietnamese people living in Quanzhou. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, due to social unrest, wars broke out from time to time, which led to a large number of Central Plains people moving south. Many people moved to Quanzhou and Minnan, including Henan people, Hehe people and Luoshui people. Now the language family used in Quanzhou and even the whole southern Fujian is called Heluo, and now it is called Minnan. These Zhongyuan people, who brought advanced and developed agricultural technology and experience from the Central Plains, guided the local people in reclamation and development. They came to Quanzhou and saw that the mountains and rivers here were very similar to the ancient capital Luoyang, so they named this place Luoyang, hence the name of this bridge.

Now we have reached the bridge of Luoyang River. The bridge in front of us is Luoyang Bridge, which is famous at home and abroad. At that time, Luoyang River was "five miles wide and the waves were rolling". People can only make the transition by ferry. Whenever there are strong winds and tides, people and boats often fall into the river. Therefore, in order to pray for a safe transition, the shipowner called this ferry "Wan 'an Ferry" and the bridge "Wan 'an Bridge". According to "Quanzhou County Records", Laowan 'an Ferry was a pontoon bridge built by Li Chong, a magistrate of a county in the early Northern Song Dynasty, and was later converted into a stone bridge by Cai Xiang, a magistrate of a county. Luoyang Bridge was built in April of the fifth year of Northern Song Dynasty to December of the fourth year of Jiayou, that is, 1053 to 1059. It took six years and eight months and cost more than 14 thousand taels of silver. Luoyang Bridge is 1.200m long and 5m wide, with 46 piers, 28 stone lions supported by 500 stone carvings on both sides, and 7 pavilions and 9 towers dotted among them. Samurai statues are separated at both ends, and 700 pine trees are planted on the north and south sides of the bridge. The pine tree behind us was left over from that year and has a history of more than 900 years.

The man who presided over the construction of Luoyang Bridge was Cai Xiang, the secretariat of Quanzhou. According to legend, Cai Xiang is satellites. He was smart and knowledgeable since he was a child, and he was the top student in high school at the age of eighteen. So he was an official in this dynasty, but he was taught by his mother to build bridges for the county people and solve problems for the people. As a result, he applied to return to the DPRK as an official soon after serving in the imperial court and became the magistrate in the spring. After he returned to Quanzhou, he worried about the deep waves of Luoyang River and the difficulties in building the bridge foundation day and night. One day, he suddenly dreamed that Master Guanyin instructed him to send someone to the Sea Dragon King for help. Cai Xiang was very surprised when he woke up, so he wrote a letter of help to Poseidon and asked his officials, "Who went to sea?" An official immediately replied: "Young Xia Dehai!" It turned out that this man's surname was Xia Dehai, and he mistakenly thought that his master called him and answered it casually. So he sent him to Poseidon to deliver official documents. Xia Dehai said goodbye to his wife, bought a pot of wine and lay on the beach as drunk as a fiddler, trying to let the tide take it away. But when he woke up, the yellow briefcase turned red. He hurried back to Cai Xiang and opened it. It read "Vinegar".

Cai Xiang thought hard, and finally realized the revelation of the Sea Dragon King, and started construction on a single day that month. Sure enough, the tide ebbed at this time, and there was no high tide for three days and three nights, and the bridge foundation was finally successfully built. However, due to the limited funds at that time, the height of the bridge was not enough, and the bridge deck was often flooded during floods. Therefore, it was later said that Wu Li, a wealthy businessman of quanzhou county People's Congress, donated three feet for the bridge. Wu Li, a wealthy businessman in Quanzhou, was falsely accused by a villain for extravagance and was arrested in Beijing for no reason. When his prison car crossed Luoyang Bridge, the road was flooded. He finally crossed the bridge, so he swore to heaven that if he could return to his hometown safely, he must raise Luoyang Bridge by three feet. Sure enough, three years later, he went home smoothly, so he invested to raise the bridge by three feet. Of course, the Luoyang Bridge we see now has been repaired. The last repair was 1938, when Cai Tingkai led the 19th Route Army through Quanzhou.

Let me introduce the architectural features of Luoyang Bridge to all the guests. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, our ancestors created a new type of bridge foundation with amazing perseverance and infinite wisdom, which was not recognized until modern times. Mdash& ampmdash Raft Foundation. The so-called raft foundation is to throw a large number of stones along the underwater bottom of the bridge axis to form a low stone embankment connecting the river bottom as the bridge foundation, and then build piers on it. This construction method is a great contribution to bridge-building science in China and even the world. In order to strengthen the bridge foundation, a large number of oysters are cultivated under the bridge, and the characteristics of strong adhesion and rapid reproduction of oyster shells are skillfully used to firmly bond the bridge foundation and pier into a whole. This is an ingenious "oyster planting method" in the history of bridge building in the world, and it is also the first precedent for applying biology to bridge engineering in the world. At that time, there was no modern lifting equipment, so the "floating beam erection method" was adopted, and the big slab of the bridge deck was erected by the ups and downs of the sea, which showed the extraordinary wisdom of our ancestors in bridge building. The boat-shaped wharf is also quite distinctive, which is conducive to water diversion. Luoyang Bridge successfully built the first large stone bridge in China, which is a great pioneering work in the history of ancient bridge construction in China. Professor Mao Yisheng, a famous bridge expert in China, praised it as "Luoyang Bridge is the first bridge in Fujian".

Then we went on to visit Cai Xiang's Ci. Founded in the Song Dynasty, it has been repaired in all previous dynasties. The existing buildings were built in the Qing Dynasty. In the center of the offering hall is a statue of Cai Xiang, and the pavilion is inscribed with "The Story of Wan 'an Bridge", which is called the "Three Wonders" monument in the world. The article is concise, with the words 153, it records the time, year, length and width of the bridge, the amount spent and the people involved. Beautiful calligraphy and exquisite carving. This monument adds a lot of luster to Luoyang Bridge. This inscription was written by Cai Xiang from a book. Cai Xiang, whose name is Mo Jun, is a fugue person. He served as Quanzhou magistrate twice. He was one of the "Four Great Calligraphers" in Song Dynasty. His life left many outstanding works for later generations, except the famous Wan 'an Bridge and Zhou Jintang, which were collected by Gong Wei. Fuzhou Gushan "Forget the Old Stone" and other inscriptions. In addition, he has a large number of paper books in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. These works all reflect his absorption of the essence of excellent calligraphy in the past. An ancient book, Storytelling, said, "Those who catch up with their predecessors are ignorant of books." The high talent, deep knowledge, harmony of heart and hand and endless changes are the first of this dynasty. Cai Xiang's calligraphy is full of artistic power because it has widely accepted the advantages of predecessors.

Cai Xiang's calligraphy works show an atmosphere of literati at that time. He followed the example of Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing and others, striving for novelty, being detached and refined, sober and indifferent, and reaching the realm of elegance and beauty. This realm can often arouse the readers' * *, and get promoted while enjoying it. Cai Xiang's calligraphy is created on the basis of inheriting predecessors, not repeating, thus forming a new calligraphy pattern. Learning from the ancients and inheriting the predecessors, Cai Shu has a new aesthetic value, and his calligraphy works will remain in the history of calligraphy forever.

That's all for my explanation today. Please take a picture as a souvenir.

Chapter Two: Luoyang Bridge Tour Guide Words

Welcome everyone to come here! I am your tour guide. My last name is X. You can call me Xiao X. For your convenience, let me introduce myself first.

Luoyang Bridge connects Dingding Road to the north of Luohe and Longmen Avenue to the south of Luohe. The modern old Luoyang Bridge, which is now used by non-motor vehicles and pedestrians, was completed and opened to traffic at the end of 1955 and 12. It is the first modern large-scale bridge on the surging Luoshui River. He witnessed the rapid development of Luoyang New China after its founding. In the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s in Luoyang, she was the main artery of north-south traffic in Luoyang, and she has become a meritorious bridge and a holy bridge in the eyes of Luoyang people.

The reason why this bridge is called "Old Luoyang Bridge" by Luoyang people is relative to the "New Luoyang Bridge" built on the east side of the old Luoyang Bridge.

The new bridge was completed at 1982. The new bridge has four lanes, which is much more powerful than the old Luoyang bridge. Since the new bridge was opened to traffic, it has replaced the old Luoyang Bridge, which retired to the second line. It has made continuous contributions to the communication and economic development between the north and south banks of the Luohe River, and also made a double bridge on the Luohe River.

Chapter III: Luoyang Bridge Tour Guide Words

Luoyang Bridge, at first glance, thought it was in Luoyang City, Henan Province. In fact, it is thousands of miles away from Luoyang. It is located at the confluence of Quanzhou Bay and Luoyang River near Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. Luoyang Bridge is the first large-scale stone bridge across the sea in China.

Built in 1053, it took six years to complete. Shiqiao 1No. * * is 1200m long and 5m wide, with 44 piers. There are railings on both sides of the bridge. Now there are only 3 1 piers left in the stone bridge, and the length is 1 188 meters. Luoyang Bridge has many innovations in architecture. It adopts "raft bridge foundation", and under the river in the middle line of the bridge, many large stones are used to build piers. The water here is deep and urgent, and the stones will be washed away by the flood after being dropped. In order to solve this problem, skilled craftsmen tried and tried and found a good way. They waited for a calm low tide, and at the same time dispatched a number of ships full of stones and filled the river with stones.

In this way, a bridge foundation 500 meters long and 25 meters wide was built underwater. The long bridge foundation is like a long underwater dragon, lying quietly at the bottom of the river. In order to unify the piled stones at the bottom of the water so that they will not be washed away by the flood, the bridge builder came up with a wonderful way. There is a mollusk with a shell at the bottom of the sea, named oyster. It has two shells, one attached to a rock or another oyster and intertwined with each other, and the other shell is covered with its own software. Oysters are very fertile and pervasive. Once mixed with stone glue, they can't be shoveled down with a shovel. Craftsmen use this characteristic of oysters to plant oysters on the bridge foundation. Sure enough, within a few years, oysters connected the scattered stones into a whole and glued the scattered stones together.

The foundation of Luoyang Bridge lasted for more than 900 years, but it didn't collapse, and oysters contributed a lot. This event can be said to be a great creation in the history of architecture. All the stone slabs laid on Luoyang Bridge are more than 65,438+00 meters long, thick and large. It is estimated that each slate weighs twenty or thirty tons. How can such a heavy stone be transported to the high pier? Inspired by the ebb and flow of the tides, the bridge builders adopted the floating method. At high tide, craftsmen use rafts to transport stones to the piers, and use the buoyancy of high tide to put stones on the piers. More than 300 stone slabs and tens of thousands of stones on Luoyang Bridge were erected in this way. Luoyang Bridge is known as "the wonder of the world", which makes sense. Now there is a plaque at the bridge head in Luoyang, which reads "The First Bridge on the Sea".
