There is a song in Beijing "The Bridge of Beijing", which can often be heard in hutongs, in which the lyrics read: "The lions of Lugou Bridge are the strangest, you can count the wow, count the wow, how can you not count." "Yes, this is the description of the lion on the Lugou Bridge. I have been in Beijing for a year and a half, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to see Lugou Bridge, and on a sunny afternoon, I set off from the North Fifth Ring Road to the vicinity of Wanping City in Fengtai District.
The ancient Lugou Bridge on the beautiful Yongding River has stood here for more than 800 years, and the Yongding River was called Lugou in the Jin Dynasty, so this bridge is called Lugou Bridge. The banks of the Yongding River are beautiful and lined with trees. Standing on the bridge and looking around, my heart is suddenly cheerful, but this stone bridge in front of me carries a deep history of the Chinese nation.
Lugou Bridge, also known as Lugou Bridge, is about 15 kilometers southwest of Beijing, on the Yongding River in Fengtai District. Named after crossing the Lugou River, it is the oldest surviving stone arch bridge in Beijing.
After the war, the Lugou Bridge was completely restored in 1986 and no longer served as the main traffic artery.
How many people have been carried by this bridge, how many human sorrows and joys have been recorded, and it is still so strong and magnificent, and the stone lions on the pillars are still exquisite and stand proudly.
I remember that the high school history textbook narrates: "On the night of July 7, 1937, when the Japanese army was exercising near the Lugou Bridge southwest of Peiping, under the pretext that a soldier was "missing", he asked to enter the county town of Wanping to search, but the 29th Army of the Chinese defenders strictly refused. The Japanese then opened fire on the Chinese defenders and shelled Wanping City. The 29th Army rose to the war. ”
This was the Qiqi Incident, also known as the Lugou Bridge Incident, which shocked China and abroad. The July Seven Incident was the beginning of the Japanese imperialist all-out war of aggression against China and also the starting point of the Chinese nation's all-out war of resistance.
I remember the text "The Lion of Lugou Bridge" in elementary school, and I marveled at the exquisite craftsmanship of the Chinese people, the splendid national culture, and the history of humiliation, Lugou Bridge is a witness of the strong and unyielding spirit of Chinese heroes.
Hundreds of years ago, the craftsmen's exquisite carving process, I was touched by the expressions of stone lions of different shapes, and I was deeply touched, which made me linger.
We must remember history, never forget shame, forge ahead courageously, and rejuvenate China.
The most attractive thing about Lugou Bridge is the stone lions on the bridge, people say that there are countless lions in Lugou Bridge, and they can't count them if they try it.
There is also a stone stele on each side of the bridge, one of which records the reconstruction of the Lugou Bridge in the 27th year of the Kangxi Dynasty. One is the "Lugou Xiaoyue" written by Qianlong, one of the famous eight scenic spots of Yanjing.
According to official data, the number of lions of Lugou Bridge eventually remained at 501.
Stone lions are common items in traditional Chinese culture to ward off evil spirits, and the image of a lion is carved with stone as raw material, and it is a sculpture with artistic value and ornamental value.
The lions of Lugou Bridge are too numerous to count, and they can't see enough, on the one hand, marveling at the exquisite carving craftsmanship of craftsmen hundreds of years ago, and on the other hand, they are infected by the expressions of stone lions of different shapes, and linger.
Lugou Bridge is not just a simple stone bridge, it also carries the hundreds of years of history of ancient civilization, highlighting the cultural characteristics given by different dynasties, which is a very precious treasure for our Chinese culture.
A great man once said, "10,000 years is too long, only the day." "My understanding of the day and night is that you must do things seriously in the morning and seriously in the evening, and if you do more things, people will live a full and fulfilling life." But when it is much fuller, the person becomes bloated, thinking ahead, faltering, and stagnating. Read 10,000 books and travel thousands of miles, and only by constantly improving your cognitive ability and making yourself independent and confident can you move forward courageously.
No matter how difficult and difficult our lives are, we still have to be tenacious in our hearts, stick to our posts, and complete the division of labor in society, just like Lugou Bridge, that is, serving the people, but also shining brightly.
