Historical legends of crossing the bridge
The Midu Bridge in Suzhou, formerly known as Wudu Bridge, is located in the east corner of the ancient city of Suzhou, and is the land and water hub of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. According to the records of Wuxian County in the Republic of China, during the Yuan Dynasty (1295- 1297), merchants and people ferried here, and were repeatedly blackmailed by boatmen and monks in Kunshan.

Jingxiu passed by here, but because he had no money, he was teased and laughed at by all sides. In order to smooth the profiteering of the people, Jing Xiu, a monk, vowed to build a bridge, and together with Chen Jun, Zhang Guangfu and others, * * * raised funds. In Yuan Dynasty, Dade started construction and completed it in five years (1298- 130 1). Suzhou dialect, with extinction and voice communication, has long been mistakenly called crossing the bridge. Across the Miduqiao River is Gui Huayuan. Some people say that this is Chimen Bay of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, which means that the legendary ancient city of Suzhou-Chimen is here. But the new Shuicheng Gate in Guihua Park says it is a snake gate. Where are the Red Gate and the Snake Gate? It seems unclear at present. Is it this boatman who controls the ferry and extorts money from merchants and people? I don't think so at present. At this age, I am still ferrying in the wind and waves, and even my family sends me dinner. It is dangerous to ferry on a river with a depth of 4 meters, and the family is always a little uneasy. Actually, you can't drink when you get on the boat. The wine gourd in the waist should be kept at home. Maybe this bridge was built for everyone's safety. Sitting on a drunken ferryman's boat always feels unsafe, just like driving after drinking. After the completion of the bridge, the ferry was destroyed, which made it convenient for pedestrians to come and go, but I don't know what boatmen who make a living by ferry can do to support their families. Today, some monopoly industries and powerful people are also making things difficult for the people, extorting and mocking them, but it is not as easy as building a bridge to destroy their privileges. Judging from the confession given before the monk, it only said that "poor monks can't cross the river to make a bridge of wishes, so they must build up their strength, have money, make a fortune, and make a fortune." . The bridge built in the Yuan Dynasty, I don't know why the confession was written about Daming Jiajing, with a difference of more than 200 years. Although the bridge was rebuilt by Kuang Zhong, the Suzhou magistrate, during the Ming Dynasty, Kuang Zhong would not arrange for his family to be alms. I don't know where it came from, and I can't verify it one by one. Tongcheng. China's first gourmet travel network also said that "there are no ferries there" when introducing the Midu Bridge. Since there is no ferry, how can it be destroyed? It's a little confusing Many eternal mysteries may also be formed in this way. According to my guess, the front text may be "There used to be a ferry here ...", and some people took "set" as "no" when typing, and there was no ferry after a long time.
