1. Today is July 7, 2018, I didn't hear the city where I live ringing the alarm, but I heard the alarm sound in his city (Shijiazhuang) in the WeChat circle of friends. I naturally thought of the Lugou Bridge. I have been there many times, and the photo here was taken on August 10, 2006, when I went with my friends Xue Tao and Zhuang Jian.

26. Lugou Bridge Lion Array. There is a saying in Beijing after the break that "the lions of Lugou Bridge ——— countless." Because for more than 800 years, no one can count how many stone lions there are on the bridge. Is this true? As long as people look at the colorful, lifelike and breathing stone lion on the head of the stone railing, they can truly appreciate why the lion is uncountable. Obviously, there is a big lion on each pillar, and the total number is 288 big lions, some of them look up at the sky, some look down at the bridge, some turn around and talk to each other, and some listen to the sound of running water.

27, many big lions are carved with small lions, large ten centimeters, small a few centimeters, only lively and cute ——— on the shoulders of the big lion, some jump and run, some tumble and throw joy; in the arms of the big lion, some suckle, some are touched by the mother; under the claws of the big lion, some stretch out their small heads, some are scratching the big lions, some are still hugging each other, affectionate and funny, on the back of the big lion or behind the big lion, or hiding in the chest of the big lion, some only show their eyes, some only stick out a mouth. Figuring out the number of lions proved to be no easy task. Botu Point photographer Monday Bo
28. In 1961, the Beijing Cultural Relics Task Force conducted an inventory of the lions in the whole bridge in its investigation and research, with a total of 485 lions, and believed that the "countless" lions had been counted. Unexpectedly, when the manpower was later reassigned and the relevant experts were jointly counted, it was found that the total number of exquisite little lions "hiding" under the crotch of the big lion and even in the palm of the hand was as high as 210, plus 288 big lions with an unmistakable number, for a total of 498.

Later, Mr. Luo Zhewen, head of the ancient architecture expert group of the Beijing Cultural Relics Bureau, wrote an article saying that there were 502 stone lions on the Lugou Bridge, but he also said that "the exact number has yet to be re-investigated."
