I was intoxicated by Zhao Zhouqiao's wonderful workmanship, and my heart was tied to the running water under the bridge. I once galloped on the Hangzhou Bay Bridge and looked at the water and sky in the distance. However, in all this noise, I have never forgotten the covered bridges in my hometown.
The covered bridge in my hometown, also called Zheng Hui Bridge, spans Longxi River. It is said that this bridge was built in the second year of Gande in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it has a good reputation. It was rebuilt during the Daguan period, with wood as the beam. In order to facilitate people to take shelter from the rain and rest, a mansion was built. People felt their virtue and changed their names to Zheng Hui. In the subsequent transformation, the style of the wooden structure covered bridge was maintained, simple and tough. It was not until 24 1 of the Republic of China that the covered bridge was destroyed by fire and converted into a reinforced concrete stone pier bridge. Now the covered bridge is completely new. After being rebuilt again in 2000, it has become a strong bridge with a length of 72.8 meters and a width of 44.6 meters, which is more than enough to withstand the flood once in 50 years.
There are three places that must be seen on the covered bridge: beautiful Langfang, long-standing inscriptions and rows of shops.
Langfang, a covered bridge, is divided into three floors and 60 rooms, which are connected by an overpass. The six roofs leaning against the mountain are golden; Rosewood doors and windows, hanging screen bluestone railings, the statue is lifelike. Walking on the covered bridge, watching the stream flowing under the bridge, closing my eyes seems to have forgotten all my troubles, and I only feel that I am "immersed" in this hazy mountain rain, and I strongly desire not to wake up in life and immerse myself in it.
Take two steps forward, and you will see a big stone tablet, which reads: Today's view is a bridge, a giant pliers, a soaring golden dragon, beautiful and spectacular. Looking at the building, the peaks are green and beautiful; Ruifeng and Shoufeng sister towers echo each other from afar, and the county river is like a belt, full of waves. People on both sides of the strait are busy with traffic and neon flashes; Surrounded by buildings and green grass; Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. This stone tablet seems to have witnessed the transformation of the covered bridge, which has experienced biting wind and rain. Every time you pass by here, you will always feel that there is a breath of history that makes you stop and take a look at this "ancient bridge".
Since ancient times, Zheng Hui Bridge has been the most prosperous trade center in Fenghua.
As early as 1935 years ago, there were many shops on the south side of the bridge deck of Zheng Hui Bridge, and gods were enshrined in the middle of the north side of the bridge deck. People come and go in an endless stream. After the completion of the new bridge, there are many shops on both sides of the bridge, which is definitely the first choice for people to shop.
The covered bridge represents our Fenghua and the indomitable spirit of our Fenghua people. Is the eternal "eternity".
