Why build bridges and pave the way for future generations?

Building bridges and paving roads has improved the external traffic of local villages, and convenient traffic can also speed up people's walking and trade with the outside world, contributing to local prosperity. We have done a good job in infrastructure construction for future generations, and when the local development is good, future generations will naturally be facilitated.

Since ancient times, the old people have regarded repairing bridges, paving roads and building pavilions as three good deeds for the benefit of the countryside. Among them, bridge repair was put in the first place. It is a great event in the village to "clear the way on the mountain and bridge the bridge when it meets the water", improve the appearance of the village, facilitate everyone's access and farming, and connect roads with wealth.

Before the Qing Dynasty, Dinghai, as a dilapidated county, had a moat outside the four gates and no bridge on the river. Only by pulling down or putting down the wooden suspension bridge above the city can people decide whether they can enter or leave the city. During Guangxu period, the wooden suspension bridge outside the four city gates was dilapidated, so the government had to change it into a small stone bridge for pedestrians to enter and leave. These bridges are crowded and narrow most of the time.

Dinghai businessmen living in Shanghai frequently travel between Shanghai and Dinghai in order to make their business bigger and better. Although they are cautious in doing business and setting up factories in Shanghai, they do not hesitate to build bridges and pavilions in their hometown, and are willing to do more good things for themselves, their fellow villagers and future generations. The starting point of doing good deeds and doing good deeds is to give convenience to others and themselves.
