Jinshi Zhou advised others to take the lead in practice. After six years of hard work, relying on the jade achievements of Zhongshan, they finally built a six-hole bridge in the 19th year of Daoguang (1839), changed Taiping Bridge into Hongqiao, used a rain pavilion to block snow and prevent freezing, and built a temple city water demon in the middle of the road with arches at both ends. Hongqiao is 55.5 meters long, 6.8 meters wide, 8 meters high and 9.25 meters wide. There are twenty stone steps at both ends of the bridge. There are 476 bluestone slabs on the bridge deck. The bridge was built with 64 bluestones along the stone fence. The rain pavilion on the bridge consists of 84 vertical wooden columns and 96? Hmm? Beam support.
