What is the history of Zhihe Bridge?

There are 39 stone bridges in Fengjing, the most unique of which is Zhihe Bridge, which is known as "temples connected to bridges, temples within bridges". People in Fengjing call it "Husband and Wife Bridge" (explanation of Husband and Wife Bridge) allusions). Zhihe Bridge is located in the middle section of the North and South City River in Fengjing Town. It was built during the Zhihe period of the Yuan Dynasty, hence its name. It is the oldest existing bridge in Fengjing and a witness to the historical development of Fengjing. In Shen Rongcheng's "Fengxi Zhuzhi Ci" of the Qing Dynasty, a poem about the New Year celebrations in Fengjing Town is based on Jingzhihe Bridge. The poem goes: "The New Year's events are increasing day by day, and the Zhihe Bridge is jubilant. Poor children prefer pig herding shows, and childish children prefer pig herding shows. The revolving lantern is often mentioned. "The Avalokitesvara at the end of the Zhihe Bridge is lifelike. "Buddha crosses with destined guests, and the son sends off good deeds." This vivid interpretation of the cultural and historical landscape of Zhihe Bridge is "temples connected to bridges, temples within bridges". Visitors can burn incense and pray for children here. The method of praying for a child here is different from other temples, and it is particularly effective. I also heard from the older generation that washing hands with the water in the Qixing Well next to it can have many effects. If you want to seek help, you can also burn incense here and pray.
