Tell me what you think of reading this article by Zhao Zhouqiao.

Zhao Zhouqiao, formerly known as Anji Bridge, is located on the Weihe River in Zhao County, Hebei Province, with a history of 1400 years. It was designed and built by Li Chun, a famous craftsman in Sui Dynasty. It is the oldest existing single-span stone arch bridge in China.

Zhao Zhouqiao has a total length of more than 50 meters, a width of more than 9 meters, a span of about 37 meters and a gentle slope. The whole bridge deck consists of 28 huge stones vertically side by side. The most distinctive design in Zhao Zhouqiao is the design of bridge arch. There are two small arches at both ends of the bridge arch, and water generally flows through bridge opening; In case of flood, water can flow out from these four small arches at the same time. In this way, it not only reduces the impact of running water on the bridge, but also reduces the weight of the bridge, which is a pioneering work in the history of bridges in the world.

On the railings on both sides of Zhao Zhouqiao, there are also many exquisite patterns carved, some of which are carved with two dragons looking back at each other ... It's really lifelike.

After 1400 years of ups and downs, Zhao Zhouqiao still crossed the river, which fully demonstrated the wisdom and talent of the ancient working people in China.
