Is the Yinding Bridge really going to be demolished and rebuilt? Why? Are there any interesting historical stories about it?

★ Yinding Bridge is really going to be demolished and rebuilt!

On February 5, 20 10, the main bridge of Yinding Bridge, which has a history of 500 years, was opened. The renovation project is scheduled to be completed in February next year, and the repaired Yinding Bridge can be used for more than 100 years. Relevant departments will dismantle the main bridge of Yinding Bridge as a whole, and then rebuild the whole bridge body as it is. According to the introduction of the construction team, before the bridge is demolished, wooden stakes are piled on the edge of the old bridge to make a fence, and then each slate on the bridge is numbered to avoid mistakes in reassembly. The repaired Yinding Bridge adopts reinforced concrete structure, and the original white marble railings and deck bricks are used on the deck.

This time, the Yinding Bridge was rebuilt because the bridge foundation was soaked in water all the year round, the load was too large and the bridge body cracked. In July, 2008, the bridge was evaluated as a dangerous bridge by the Third Inspection Institute of Beijing Construction Engineering Quality. In order to prevent accidents, the government started the restoration project of Yinding Bridge. Because the focus of this transformation is to rebuild the bridge foundation, it is necessary to dismantle the whole bridge for construction.

Some people question whether this reconstruction will destroy cultural relics. In fact, the original Yinding Bridge was built in the Ming Dynasty, but now the Yinding Bridge was rebuilt by 1984, so the bridge itself is not a cultural relic in a strict sense. However, as the former site of the famous scenic spot "Yinding Guanshan" in Beijing, it belongs to a cultural relic protection unit in Xicheng District. The repair of Yinding Bridge will follow the principle of "original demolition and original construction" and will not change the length, width and appearance of Yinding Bridge. In other words, the new bridge will be completely restored according to the status quo, and the deck bricks and white marble railings are the raw materials of the old bridge.

★ Information about Yinding Bridge:

Yinding Bridge is small, but it is famous. Located at the south exit of Beijing Xiaobei Hutong and the north exit of Yindingqiao Hutong. From north to south, it crosses the long and narrow neck connecting the front sea and the back sea of Shisha. It is a single-hole stone arch bridge with a length of12m, a width of 7m, a height of 8m and a span of 5m. 5 hollow cloud railings and 6 jade bottles. This bridge was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 500 years. Because it looks like a silver ingot, it is called Silver Ding Qiao. It is a scene of Shichahai and one of the eight small scenes of Yanjing. In the past, when you stood on the Yinding Bridge, you could see the western hills in the distance, so this scenery was named "Yinding Guanshan". 1984, the original bridge was demolished and rebuilt, and it is still under the name of silver ingot.

★ allusion to Yinding Bridge:

Tell me about the name of the bridge. Come on! Because the bridge is big in the middle and thin at both ends, it looks like a big ingot upside down. The bridge is made of white marble, white as silver, and the people call it "Yuanbao", hence the name "Yinyuanbao Bridge".

Legend has it that there was a champion in the late Qing Dynasty. On a cloudless autumn day in Wan Li, he stood on the bridge and looked northeast. He even saw Yuquan Mountain through the dense Liu Yin in Houhai! He wrote four words for this, called "Silver Ingot View Mountain".

In addition, it is said that couples can know each other for life by holding hands over the Yinding Bridge.

As one of the eight scenic spots in Jintai, "Silver Ingot View Mountain" really deserves its reputation. Standing on the bridge and looking to the northwest, the water surface of Houhai is getting wider and wider and more boundless. At the water celestial pole, there is the shadow of the western hills. Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes it is clear and beautiful, and sometimes it is layout. In the past, someone used the word "blunt" to describe Xishan. Because it is a famous artist, many people agree, but I don't think this word can fully express the beauty of Xishan. Seeing the mountains is suitable for eyes, rain, morning and dusk, and spring, summer, autumn and winter are different. It is best to watch it after the rain in midsummer, early autumn and early morning. It is snowy in winter. I am most afraid of the unique rhubarb wind weather in Beijing in spring, which is really a mess. What do you mean "blunt" is not blunt? No matter how good the Xishan Mountain is, it is beyond recognition. The old teacher, Mr. Gu Sui's Half Child, said: "The shadows in front of the mountain are blurred, just like Xiaoxiang ink painting ... no spring, half dust and half soil." It is a documentary; It's a pity that it's been so long that I can't remember it completely, and I forgot the third sentence.

However, the fame of Yinding Bridge lies not in the "Yinding Mountain View", but in its more important reasons. This humble little bridge is the only way for Regent Zai Feng to go to court every day. According to legend, 70 years ago, 19 10 on March 3 1 day, that is, on February 2 1 day, two years later, Wang Jingwei, Huang and Luo Shixun planted bombs and assassinated them under this bridge. In February of the lunar calendar, there were no tourists on the edge of Shichahai, and it was deserted. Anyone who acts suspiciously is easy to be found by the patrol. Soon, three people were arrested at the same time, and Lang Dang was jailed. Wang Ching-wei also wrote, "Sing Yan City generously, and be a Chu prisoner calmly. The poem "Make a quick success with a knife, and live up to the teenager's head" suddenly became famous, and the Yinding Bridge is also well known all over the world.
