Is there a place called Under the Dragon Bridge during the Fourth Session? There used to be many people named Li.

Under the bridge? During the Chunxi period of Emperor Xiaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty (1174-1189), the Longjiang River passed through the area outside the east gate. In order to facilitate travel between the two sides, a bridge was built on the river and named "Puji" Bridge", because the bridge was built on the Longjiang River, people at that time also called it "Dragon Bridge". At the beginning, vertical wooden columns were used to erect bridge boards, and railings were set up on both sides. Because the wooden pillars could not withstand water erosion, they needed to be repaired many times. In the 11th year of Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1672), the wooden pillars were replaced by stone piers. On the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Lunar Calendar in 1934, a fire burned down the Dragon Bridge, and it has never been repaired since.

Two years later, in 1936, due to the need to connect the 4th (Hui) 3rd (Water) Highway with the 4th (Hui) (Guang) Ning Highway, the current Longcheng Hotel faces Datong on the north side. A solid highway wooden bridge was erected on the Longjiang River on the road, named "Xinlong Bridge", or "Xinqiao" for short.

The Old Dragon Bridge has existed for more than 760 years. During this period, it has been recorded that it was destroyed by floods 4 times, burned 6 times, abandoned many times, repaired 22 times, and minor repairs countless times. It can be said that it has experienced many disasters. Despite the vicissitudes of life, the people of Sihui were unyielding and repaired and destroyed many times. Those who build bridges and repair bridges benefit the people. They are extremely good and are deeply praised and respected by the world!

It is separated by the Longjiang River, opposite the east gate of Sihui Ancient City, and is located downstream of the old Longqiao, so it is named "under the bridge". There are densely packed lanes under the bridge, with one to seven lanes under its jurisdiction. It is known as "Little Buddha Mountain". "Qiaoxia Li" is a famous clan in Sihui. There are many ancient blue brick buildings in the area from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. "Li's residence under the bridge", "Zheng's mansion on the second lane under the bridge", and "Sima Di on the second lane under the bridge" have been selected into the "Sihui City Immovable Cultural Relics List".

There is a "Li Family Temple under the Bridge" under the bridge. In 1941 and 1948, this temple became the site of the "Sihui Simple Normal School" twice. "Sihui Jianshi" has a primary school attached for its graduates' apprenticeships and internships. After liberation, "Jianshi" merged with Sihui Middle School, and this affiliated primary school became "Sihui County No. 1 Primary School", referred to as "County Primary School". Houxian Primary School was renamed "Gaoguan Primary School", and during the "Cultural Revolution" it was renamed "Chengdong Primary School", which is still in use today.
