Xian county single bridge

Single bridge is located at the intersection of Jingdezhen ancient road and Hutuo River, which has been the main traffic artery between north and south since ancient times. After the Ming Dynasty established Beijing as its capital, people traveled by car, and it was even more inconvenient without a bridge. In the sixth year of Ming Dynasty, the wooden bridge was built. Due to the surging Hutuo River, the wooden bridge has been destroyed repeatedly, which has consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. Wang Fengyuan, the magistrate of Hejian, proposed to build a stone bridge. Cui Li, the magistrate of xian county, made efforts to promote this initiative by donating money to Yi people such as Liu Yijiu, Shi Shouzhi and Zhang Jiuxu. Countless people have contributed to this, and even the stones have been transported from Taihang Mountain thousands of miles away by merchants. After eight years of hard work, it was built in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen and became the traffic throat in the south of Beijing. Up to now, there are still 0.2 meters deep ruts on the bridge deck, which shows the prosperity of the stone bridge that year.
