According to Jiatai Huiji, it was built in Jiatai period of Southern Song Dynasty (1201-kloc-0/204) and rebuilt in four years (1256). "The two bridges are oblique, hence the name". This bridge is made of stone, and its structural shape is wonderful. The eight-character bridge connects three roads, with water flowing from north to south, water from Jinghu Lake in the south and China Grand Canal in the north. It is one of the main waterways that crossed the city in ancient times. This is on the third street. At the intersection of Sanjiang Road and No.4 Road, the bridge is east-west, and it is a Liang Shi bridge with pillars and piers, with slopes in all directions. A second bridge opening was set under the second slope of * * *, which solved the complicated traffic problem. The bridge deck is juxtaposed in strips, with a length of 4.85 meters, a bridge height of 5 meters and a clear span of 4.5 meters; The bridge deck is 3.2 meters wide and the bridge is 27 meters long from east to west. The north and south slopes of the East Bridge are 12.4m and 17.4m respectively, and the south slope of the West Bridge is 14m.
Southwest slope17m. Put a fence on the bridge and look at the stigma engraved with lotus flowers. The bridge is a stone wall, 4 meters high, with 9 stone pillars on the east and west sides. The fifth pier on the lower west side of the main tunnel is engraved with "Shi Bao-an auspicious building in the middle of winter in Chen Bing". Build a small hole under the tread at the south of the west end to cross the river.
architectural feature
The figure-of-eight bridge is a beam stone bridge. Bridge opening is four and a half meters wide, and the stone pillars on both sides of the bridge are stacked. There are nine parallel stone pillars on the foundation, about four meters high. The lower end of the stone pillar is inserted in the groove of the cornerstone, and the top of the big stone cover is next to the diamond-shaped walls on both sides. The whole bridge is connected on three sides, three roads and four roads, and the south is connected with the roads on both sides of the main river in two directions. Among them, the south west bank crosses the river, the west is connected with Baziqiao Street, and the north is on the same line with the east bank of the main river, which is divided into two slopes.
The bridge is about four meters long, and the outside is made of two layers of stones, slightly like a moon beam. Stone railings, sentries engraved with the names of bridge donors. The steps on both sides of the splayed bridge are different from the bridges you usually see. The east pier of the bridge is close to the residential building and goes down the road, one along the river bank to the north and the other along the east river of Dongshuang Bridge. In addition to the steps from the straight street of the eight-character bridge to the main bridge, there are also steps on the west bank of the southeast Shuangqiao. Under the steps leading to the east bank and the west bank of Dongshuangqiao, there is also a Liang bridge opening, because here, a small river once crossed. Like the main bridge, all the steps on the pier are surrounded by stones, and there are watchtowers on both sides, making the whole bridge seamless. Because the craftsman who built the bridge is in a specific section of this street with many rivers.
The construction of this type of multi-stage bridge makes the "8" bridge occupy an important position in the history of bridge construction in China.
There are many splayed bridges in Shaoxing. The splayed bridge in the urban area is a special ancient bridge in Liang Shi. It has three characteristics: first, its falling slope structure is special. This bridge is designed as a four-way slope to meet the complex environmental requirements of the intersection of three streets and three rivers. The east of the bridge inclines from south to north, forming a figure of eight. To the west of the bridge are slopes in the west and south. Form a figure of eight. The south slopes at both ends of the bridge are also splayed. This kind of bridge slope structure is rare. Second, there are special sections in the bridge. To the south, there is bridge opening under Erluopo, and Erqiaopo becomes the second small bridge. "The second bridge is shaped like a figure of eight" means that the main bridge and small bridge on one side are shaped like a figure of eight with the small bridge on the other side. There is also a splayed bridge in Fenghui Town, Shangyu City. In other words, the two arch bridges are adjacent to each other in a figure of eight. The two arch bridges, one big and one small, are like the left and right strokes of the eight characters. Locally, the second bridge is called the big eight-character bridge and the small eight-character bridge. The big splayed bridge is named Tongji Bridge, and the small splayed bridge is named Yongxin Bridge. Compared with the two splayed bridges in Shangyu, Shaoxing splayed bridge should be called closed splayed bridge and Fenghui splayed bridge should be called open splayed bridge.
Three characteristics
The figure-of-eight bridge has three characteristics, one is a long history, the other is beautiful in shape, and the third is scientific and practical. According to local records, during the Jiatai period in the Southern Song Dynasty, the splayed bridge was built at 120 1- 1204. On the fifth stone pillar on the west side of the bridge, the words "Shi Bao Youbing was built on an auspicious day in the middle of winter" are engraved, which shows that this splayed bridge was built in A.D. 1256. This shows that the eight-character bridge has a history of 800 years.
The figure-of-eight bridge is inclined because the two bridges are opposite, and it is named after the word "eight", and its shape is very beautiful. At that time, the figure-of-eight bridge was built in the crisscross of three roads and three rivers, which solved the traffic problems in this area very scientifically and practically. Such ingenious architectural conception and such a long construction period have established the position of the splayed bridge in the history of Chinese bridges, and it has recently been recognized as a national cultural relics protection unit.
Shaoxing is a famous water town, and the bridge over the river has become the characteristic symbol of Shaoxing, and the splayed bridge is the most representative among many ancient stone bridges. Standing on the figure-of-eight bridge, browsing the scenery of Shaoxing Water Street has a unique flavor, which often attracts the attention of many tourists, especially professionals and enthusiasts in the art and photography circles.
