Zhaozhou Bridge, when we were in elementary school, we studied the texts about Zhaozhou Bridge, and we knew that this was the pride of Chinese. Zhaozhou Bridge is a stone arch bridge located on the Nanwei River in Zhao County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, named after the ancient name of Zhao County. Locals call it the Great Stone Bridge to distinguish it from the Yongtong Bridge (Small Stone Bridge) outside the west gate of the city. Zhaozhou Bridge was built in the Sui Dynasty, designed and built by the craftsman Li Chun, and later given the name Anji Bridge by Emperor Zhao Xu of Song Zhezong, and took it as its proper name.
Zhaozhou Bridge is the world's oldest, largest span and most complete preserved single-hole tan arc open-shoulder stone arch bridge, its construction technology is unique, the first "open-shoulder arch" structural form in the history of bridges in the world, with high scientific research value; The carving knife technique is vigorous and powerful, and the artistic style is novel and bold, showing the thick, strict and handsome stone carving style of the Sui Dynasty, and the bridge body decoration is finely carved, which has high artistic value. Zhaozhou Bridge occupies an important position in the history of bridge building in China and has a profound impact on bridge construction for future generations around the world.
On the morning of June 6, I visited the Hebei Museum. Then drive to Zhao County in Shijiazhuang and tour the Zhaozhou Bridge in China. Arrived in Zanhuang County, Hebei Province at five o'clock in the afternoon, preparing to go to the Langshiyan Scenic Area the next day. There are still 5 or 60 kilometers from Zanhuang County to the Langshiyan Scenic Area, whether to live near the scenic area, I inquired about it, and learned that the Langshiyan Scenic Area was not open. Still didn't do my homework. Taihang Mountain Rocky Rock is one of the three major landforms, Langshi Rock Landform, Danxia Landform and Zhangjiajie Landform. Let's leave some regrets.
