Is there any interesting place in Liushi, Yueqing?

The bridge is a symbol of local history and culture. It is not only a structure, but also a work of art, which has high scientific value in engineering structures.

Yueqing is located in the southeast coast, between the mountains in the northwest, where thousands of grains contend, while there are 1758 streams in the plain area, with a total length of 1033 kilometers.

There have been countless bridges since ancient times. According to historical records, the Wengyang Juxing Bridge (commonly known as "Shangqiao"), which was built in the first year of Taiping Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty (976), has a history of 1000 years and is the oldest bridge in our city. From the Song Dynasty to the end of Qing Dynasty, there were more than 370 bridges of various types, which were divided into two systems according to the bridge structure: beam bridge and arch bridge.

Beam bridge takes beam as the main load-bearing component of the bridge, with simple structure and wide application. This is the longest used bridge type in Chinese and foreign history. Most of the early beam bridges were made of wood. Because wooden beams and columns are perishable, they are replaced by stones. The representative bridges are Sha 'ao Bridge and Tzu Chi Bridge.

Sha 'ao Bridge is located in Sha 'ao, Liushi Town. In the 11th year of Xichun in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 184), Zhao Bo medicine was established. There are twelve stone piers covered with bridge slabs, which are more than 60 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. In the 16th year of Qing Daoguang (1836), it was rebuilt with bluestone railings. This is the largest Liang Shi Bridge in our city.

Tzu Chi Bridge in Daqiaotou Village, Fan Shi Town. At the end of the Song Dynasty, in the tenth year of Xiangu (1274), the official department gave this building to Xie Jia. Liang Shi Bridge with four piers and three spans, with no railings on both sides, is11.6m long and 2.8m wide. This bridge is the best preserved Song bridge, and the beam frame is the same as it was when it was built more than 700 years ago.

Due to the extensive use of stone in bridge construction, a kind of arch-roll structure bridge, called arch bridge, has appeared. Compared with the beam bridge, it is not only beautiful and durable in appearance, but also greatly improved in bearing capacity, stability and stiffness. Arch bridge is difficult and expensive, so it can't be used as widely as beam bridge.

Bay Bridge is located in Bay Bridge Village, Tiancheng Town. Northern Song and Yuan Dynasties? V started in two years (1087) and completed in eight years (1093), hence the name. At the beginning, it was a wooden beam with stone piers, and the back beam was burned, so it was easy to pave the bridge deck with stones. In the eighth year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty (1433), it took eight years to rebuild a stone arch bridge with five spans and five sinuses in Pu Yin. The total length is 57.8 meters, the middle width is 4.8 meters, and the two ramp approaches are fanned out, with the end width of 5.2 meters. The arch ring adopts the advanced arch-building technology of "juxtaposition of longitudinal and cross-sections", with the largest side holes in the middle hole decreasing in turn, and the overall curve of the bridge body is soft. The deck is paved with pedals, with a platform in the middle and columns on both sides, which are beautifully carved. Wanqiao flies to Wanqiao River, which looks like "Changhong Drinking Stream" and is magnificent.

Wenhongqiao, on the west canal of Lecheng Town. In the seventh year of tomorrow (1627), the bridge will be built in Hu, a county magistrate. It is a stone arch bridge with three spans and three sinuses, with a length of 34 meters, a width of 4.37 meters in the middle and a width of 5.65 meters at the approach end, leaving no columns. The overall structure is similar to Wanqiao. 1963, the government allocated funds to restore it as it is.

In addition to the above-mentioned beam bridges and arch bridges, there are several more distinctive bridge types in mountainous and semi-mountainous areas.

Dike bridge, commonly known as "anchor bridge" and "stone anchor". It has the oldest history and is the embryonic form of this bridge. Build one stone wall frame after another with relatively square stones on the creek beach for people to cross the creek. The five-step anchorage of North Street in front of Baishi Town Government is 3 1.7 meters long, with two lanes and more than 60 steps in each lane, which is convenient for crossing the stream.

Shuiman Bridge is the development of dike beam bridge, which is mostly built on streams with strong seasonality, easy waterlogging in wet season and early dry season. The pillar is a pier, and the paving stone on it is a bridge deck. The bridge body is low, and water overflows the bridge deck in flood season. In order to prevent it from being swept away by the flood, the two sides of the column pier are supported by stone sloping roofs, which look like a centipede from a distance, so it is also called "Entertainment Phoenix Lion Bridge". It turns out that the Pteris Pteris Pteris Bridge at the north gate of Lecheng is this kind of bridge.

In Yunnan, cantilever beam bridges are mostly built on steep streams. In order to increase the span and clearance of the bridge, the pier and abutment are supported by multi-layer stones alternately. For example, Taiyun Bridge (commonly known as "Taying Bridge") built in front of Yueqing Middle School in the Qing Dynasty.

Single cantilever beam bridge, that is, plank road. It is an early form of wooden bridge, which appeared in Qin and Han Dynasties.

There is a plank road with a length of124m in the birthplace of Jukeng 'an Village in Yanhu Township, which was built in Chongzhen period of Ming Dynasty (1628-1644). Columns, beams and bridge decks are all made of stone strips. The upper and lower rows of mortises are drilled between the cliffs near the stream, the columns are inserted into the lower mortises, the beams and battens on the bridge deck are embedded into the upper mortises, and the mortises and tenons are cast with iron for solidification, which is locally called "Tiesheng Bridge".
