What type of attraction does Stone Arch Bridge belong to?
The Stone Arch Bridge is a famous tourist attraction in Chaoyang’s cultural landscape.
Chaoyang Lingyuan Tianshenghao Stone Arch Bridge is located in the northeast of Tianshenghao Village in the south of Lingyuan County. It is the earliest stone arch bridge discovered in Liaoning Province.
The bridge was built in the 10th year of Emperor Wanyan and Yong’s reign (1170). It is a self-built bridge among the people. The bridge is a semicircular single-hole arch bridge, all made of stone. The bridge body is 5 meters long, the total width is 4.7 meters, the clear span of the bridge arch is 4 meters, and the height is 2 meters. The stone arch coupons adopt the longitudinal masonry method. The longitudinal arch stones of the bridge are arranged in an orderly manner and are staggered horizontally. The gaps between the arch stones are fixed with stone wedges to make the entire arch bridge into one. On both sides of the coupon, there is a coupon face stone. It is made of seven stones. Each stone is carved with a bead circle and a lotus flower inside. The distance between the patterns is equal. On the back of the arch of the arched stone, a layer of flat stone is laid, and above it is the bridge deck edge stone. On the edge stone, there are railings and pillars. The railings are plain, the pillars have four corners with edges, and the capitals are carved with petals. The paving stone strips among the bridge deck curb stones are laid horizontally.
This bridge has a history of more than 800 years, 400 years earlier than the Yong'an Stone Bridge in Masanjia, Yuhong District, Shenyang. In 1988, it was listed as a provincial cultural relic protection unit and features unique and novel architecture. Its style and long history are included in the "Dictionary of Chinese Places of Interest".
