Xiangzi Bridge is another name for which bridge?

Xiangzi Bridge, namely Guangji Bridge, is located on the rolling Hanjiang River outside the east gate of Chaozhou, with Bijia Mountain in the east, the east gate of downtown in the west, Phoenix Island in the south and jincheng mountain in the north. The scenery is magnificent and charming. Folk songs sing: "it's a waste of time to leave before the tide reaches;" If you can't get to the bridge, you will leave for nothing. "Guangji Bridge, commonly known as Xiangzi Bridge, was built by the satrap of the Song trunk road for seven years (1 17 1). It was originally a pontoon bridge, and it was named "Jikang Bridge" because it connected 86 huge ships. Guangji Bridge, with its unique style of "eighteen shuttles and twenty-four continents", is also known as the four ancient bridges in China with Zhao Zhouqiao Bridge, Luoyang Bridge and Lugou Bridge, and is praised as "the earliest opening and closing bridge in the world" by Mao Yisheng, a famous bridge expert. In the first year of Xichun (1 174), the pontoon was washed away by the flood, and the magistrate Chang Wei rebuilt it, and built a pavilion on the west bank to start the construction of the west bank wharf. During the fifty-four years from the first year of Shaoding (1 194), officials such as,, Wang, Ding Yunyuan, Sun, etc. Among them, in the sixteenth year of Xichun (1 189), the Taishou Yunyuan built the largest and most outstanding bridge and renamed the West Bridge "Dinggong Bridge". In the fifth year of Shao Xi (194), Taishou Shen built the "Gaixiuting" and called the East Bridge "Jichuan Bridge". Then, the satrap Chen Honggui, Lin Biao and Lin Hui were added one after another until the second year of Kathy (1206). After the completion of the East-West Bridge, the middle is still connected by columns, forming the basic pattern of the combination of beam bridge and pontoon bridge. From the end of Song Dynasty to Yuan Dynasty, Guangji Bridge was revived and abolished many times. In the tenth year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (1435), the magistrate Roy presided over the unprecedented "rockfill reconstruction". After completion, "there are ten piers and nine holes in the west bank, with a total length of 49 feet and five; Thirteen piers and twelve caves on the east coast, with a total length of 86; Hollow is twenty-seven feet and three feet, and four boats are pontoons. There are 126 pavilions on the bridge, which was renamed Guangji Bridge. In the eighth year of Zheng De (15 13), Tan Lun, the magistrate, added another wharf and reduced six Upright boats, forming a unique style of "eighteen shuttles and twenty-four continents". In the second year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1724), Zhang Ziqian, the magistrate, built Guangji Bridge to "save the town bridge from the water" and dropped two cows, which were divided into eight blocks of West Bridge and twelve piers of East Bridge. In the 22nd year of Daoguang (1842), Dongdun Tieniu fell into the river. So there is a folk song: "Chaozhou Xiangqiao is very romantic, with 24 terraces on 24 continents 18 shuttle boat and two flies in Niu Yi." . The combination of beam and ship makes Guangji Bridge form its own three characteristics: First, the combination of beam and ship with "eighteen shuttles and twenty-four continents" is a major feature of Guangji Bridge. The east and west sections of the bridge are beam bridges integrating pavilions and beauty, and in the middle is a pontoon bridge woven with reeds and spanning the rainbow. This is simply a wonderful scenery. There is a poem between Qingganlong: "Xiangjiang River is full of spring water, and eighteen shuttles lock the bridge." "Xiangqiao Spring" therefore ranks first among the "Eight Scenes of Chaozhou". Structurally, the combination of beam and ship is the first open-close bridge in the world. The main function of opening and closing is navigation and flood discharge. Guangdong Capsule records: "Jichuan Bridge outside the East Gate of Chaozhou ... is open in the morning and evening, connecting ships and chess." And whenever the flood of the Han River comes, it can untie the pontoon bridge and let the raging flood pour. There is also the role of checkpoints. "Counties and counties take Guangji Bridge as the only way for salt boats to collect salt taxes." Later, the superior even sent someone to take charge of Chaozhou Prefecture. Local chronicles recorded: "In the third year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1725), salt was transported to Chaozhou, and the magistrate was responsible for bridge affairs. The east coast belonged to Chaozhou Prefecture, and the west coast belonged to Chaozhou Prefecture, so customs duties were checked." Second, in the early days of Guangji Bridge, there were measures to build pavilions and "build Chinese houses" on the piers, and named them "Curling" and "Jade Mirror". During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the magistrate Roy not only built 126 pavilions on a bridge more than 5OO long, but also built towers on various piers, and used wonders, large reliefs, Lingxiao, Deng Ying, Yuede, Chaoxian, Chengsi, Feiyue, Shechuan, Youtong, Zuoda, Jichuan, Qu Yun, Curling and Xiaochuan respectively. At this point, the design of bridge architecture is the ultimate goal. As Li Ling said in Guang Ji Fu in the Ming Dynasty: "The first floor of the study has ten posts and one pavilion, red curtains for Han taxes, carved single gold rafters, curved horizontal sills, painted chalk, jagged tiles and high eaves ..." The ancient Lingnan Wind Bridge was very common, but it was so large in scale, so many in forms and so beautifully decorated. 3. "One-mile Long Bridge and One-mile City" Guangji Bridge is the hub of "all eastern Guangdong, Fujian, Guangdong and Zhang Yu, bordering the abyss", and there are many towers on the bridge. Therefore, it soon became the center of transportation and trade and an active bridge market. Just before dawn, the river fog has not dispersed, and the bridge is already a "fish bed". At dawn, shops are competing to open first, tea kiosks and wineries are flying in the wind, and people boarding the bridge are holding cloth and silk, asking for divination and rubbing their shoulders, and the traffic is busy, just as Li Ling's "Guang Ji Qiao Fu" said: "Novi Lei Yin shook the ground and the wheels and hooves rang; Angry wind and waves, pedestrians also; The clouds are light and windy, and the dust is flying; Stop clouds, announce trees, tourists sing, and guests sing; Fengming, dragons singing in the sea, literati and poets playing Xiao Gu; The balcony shook, the clouds dispersed, and the wind and waves were shocked ... "It's like a picture of the Qingming Riverside. No wonder tourists joke about "Ask Xiangqiao when you arrive at it".
