Text: 19 "Zhao Zhouqiao"

On the Weihe River in Zhao County, Hebei Province, there is a world-famous stone arch bridge named Anji Bridge, also known as Zhao Zhouqiao. It was designed and built by Li Chun, a stonemason in Sui Dynasty, and has a history of 1400 years.

Zhao Zhouqiao is very spectacular. The bridge is over 50 meters long and 9 meters wide, with horses in the middle and people on both sides. Such a long bridge, all made of stone, has no abutment below, only an arched bridge opening, which spans a river more than 37 meters wide. On the left and right sides of the ceiling of the bridge, there are also two small arched bridge opening. At ordinary times, the river flows through bridge opening. When there is a flood, the river can also flow through four Kobashiguchi. This design is a pioneering work in the history of bridge construction, which not only reduces the impact of running water on the bridge, makes the bridge not easy to be washed away by flood, but also reduces the weight of the bridge and saves stone.

This bridge is not only strong but also beautiful. There are stone fences on both sides of the bridge deck, and exquisite patterns are carved on the fence board: some are engraved with two intertwined dragons, and their mouths spit out beautiful spray; Some are carved with two dragons, their forepaws touching each other and looking back at the front; The others are engraved with dragon balls. All the dragons seem to be swimming as if they were alive.

Zhao Zhouqiao shows the wisdom and talent of the working people, which is a precious historical heritage of our country.
