The history and story of Lezhi "Samsung Bridge" are introduced in detail.

Legend has it that there used to be three wells near Sanxingqiao, which were named Riyuexing. Perhaps it is because the well is too close to the bridge, and the pronunciation of the words "well" and "star" in Yizhang dialect is similar, and "Mitsui" has gradually evolved into "Samsung". Today, some people still call "Sanxing Bridge" Mitsui Bridge.

In the twenty-five years of Qianlong (1760), Sanxing Bridge was destroyed and had to be rebuilt. Efforts have been made in this reconstruction: the deck of the bridge foundation pier and even the guardrail are all large bluestones, ranging from 200 kg to 300 kg. The pier is axe-shaped, and the side facing the water is the axe tip to reduce the water resistance. According to the survey, Sanxing Bridge spans 48 meters, is 5 meters wide, is 0/5 meters away from the water surface, and has a deck length of 38 meters. It can be called one of the most magnificent buildings in Yizhang at that time.

Lu Mengyang, the chief secretary, once wrote a monument for the newly-built Samsung Bridge. The stone steps at both ends of the bridge are twelve in the north and eight in the south. It is these stone steps that have become a special kind of examination questions to test those who boast that they have been to Yizhang or want to deceive others that they are Yizhang people. Therefore, people often pace back and forth at both ends of the Samsung Bridge and count the stone steps. It is exasperating that although the figures are true, they are still confused for a long time, which also leads to jokes and blushes for being questioned.

Sanxingqiao witnessed the development of Yizhang. The Qing government closed its doors to the outside world and only opened one port in Guangzhou, which inadvertently improved the docking speed between southern Hunan and northern Guangdong and the coastal areas of Guangdong. Even though the famous Xijing ancient road is increasingly prosperous, the water transportation from Lechang to Yizhang has reached a historical peak. Sanxingqiao area has become the economic center of Yizhang by virtue of its unique location advantage. The newly-built Dongheng Street, Xiheng Street and Nanguan Street, as well as dozens of water transport docks and warehouses, are all dotted with stars, giving Samsung Bridge a prosperous and generous gift. To this end, the northern end of the bridge is fortunate to be the starting point from Yizhang to Chenzhou Jiuli Avenue.

The gradually rich commercial atmosphere gave birth to the street culture of Samsung Bridge. Until the middle of last century, there were several tile pavilions at the southern end of the bridge. Outside the pavilion, some people sell tea, water and bean jelly, and some people fry sugar skewers, cook dog meat and pot-headed beef. Coolies who pick salt from Shangzhou and men who lead mules and horses, cocky dude and charcoal seller with black fingers, soldiers wearing brave vests and prostitutes who slowly twist their waists, people who marry their brides with big gifts and scholars who rush to Beijing to take exams with parcels, talented relegated officials and poets, pedants with long braids and goatees and scissors who shout "Keep your head or braid". The eyes looking for and being looked for, the hasty, diligent, leisurely and difficult steps, gradually erased the rough gaps on these bluestones and became smooth mirrors, reflecting the joys and sorrows of the years and the world. Seen from the air, this scene is simply an appropriate version of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. Today, this bridge is still the first choice for nearby residents to enjoy the cool in summer nights. Among the swaying cattail fans, the story of Zeng Risan's participation in the Red Army and Wu Zhonglian's participation in the revolution is still like running water under the bridge.

After 500 years of wind and rain, in the 1930s, Sanxing Bridge lost the support of water transportation because of the construction of roads and railways running through Yizhang, and the city center shifted again and gradually retreated to the second line. Nowadays, the wild ramie on the bridge is particularly lush, which makes people daydream.
