On the Composition of Three Hundred Poems of Lugou Bridge

Lugou Bridge, formerly known as Guangli Bridge, was built in the 29th year of Jin Dading (AD 1 189).

Lugou Bridge, located on Yongding River, more than 20 miles southwest of Beijing, is the main road between people and Beijing. On July 7th, 2009, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, which lasted for eight years, kicked off in Lugou Bridge.

Lugou Bridge is 266.5 meters long and 9.3 meters wide, and consists of 1 1 stone arch bridges. The span of each bridge ranges from 16 meters to 2 1.6 meters. It is a typical multi-arch stone bridge. There are stone piers between the arches. The pier is sharp in the north and blunt in the south. In the past, Yongding River flowed from north to south. Obviously, the purpose of designing piers is to divide water and reduce river water.

The river section of Lugou Bridge is 2 13. 15 meters long, and the road surface is flat, almost parallel to the river.

At the east and west ends of Lugou Bridge, there is a stone tablet. On the east side is the word "Lugou Xiaoyue" inscribed by Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty. Lugou Xiaoyue is one of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing.

On both sides of Lugou Bridge, there are stone pillars, some of which are mottled because of their age. There are many stone lions on the stone pillars. Because these stone lions are vividly carved, with different expressions and sizes, there is a saying that there are countless lions on the Lugou Bridge. After liberation, the comrades of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics counted and checked, and came to the conclusion that there were 485 stone lions on Lugou Bridge. There are nearly 500 lions. Xiong Xiong deals in hydrangeas. 28 1 Only two or three big lions engage in baby lions and hydrangeas. From the material selection, knife work and weathering degree of the lion's body, people can infer that the existing lion's body was not in the same period, and it was supplemented in Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, which shows that the feudal dynasties of past dynasties attached importance to Lugou Bridge.

There are four stone watches on both sides of the bridge mouth at both ends of Lugou Bridge, two stone lions in the east and three stone lions in the northeast corner, which are similar to the early stone lions on the railing of the bridge in stone and carving style, at least they should be relics of the Ming Dynasty. The cloud version of the Western Erhua Watch consists of three extremely bold clouds. Compared with the cloud editions of Tiananmen Square and the Ming Tombs, the style is more primitive, which is probably the original work of the Jin Dynasty.

The world-famous Lugou Bridge is the largest multi-arch stone bridge in northern China. It is not only an ancient building with magnificent engineering and exquisite stone carving art, but also a memorial site of great revolutionary significance for China people's eight-year sacred war of resistance. +096 1 year, China people * * and the State Council announced Lugou Bridge as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
