Investigation of Huangliangfu Bridge
2006,7, 16
"Small bridge and flowing water" is the characteristic of Jiangnan water town. Fengjing is an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River with a long history in Shanghai, with a history of 1500 years.
Fengjing ancient town, formerly known as Bainiu Village, was the place where Tian Liang supervised the government in the first year of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, there was a foreign minister named Chen, who plowed the fields here, abandoned his official position and lived in seclusion, enjoying his cool breeze and bright moon, also known as Qingfengjing. From the Yuan Dynasty to the first year, a town was established, formerly known as Bainiu Town, also known as Fengxi. Because of the dense rivers in the town, the town is shaped like a lotus leaf with many lotus flowers, so it is commonly known as furong town.
Fengjing, an ancient town, was once one of the four famous towns in the south of the Yangtze River. In the fifth year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, Fengjing was bounded by the river, and one town spanned wuyue, which was divided into two towns: South Town, Jiashan County, Jiaxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province and North Town, Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, Jiangsu Province. New China was founded, and Nanzhen was merged into Beizhen, which was placed under the jurisdiction of Shanghai. It was unified into Fengjing Town, Songjiang County, and was placed in Jinshan area in 1968.
There are many rivers, bridges, temples, celebrities and alleys in fengjing ancient town, which has a typical Jiangnan style. There are more than 20 rivers and 50 ancient bridges in the ancient town of Feng Jing, which is known as "three steps and two bridges, one looking at ten ports", among which Hezhi Bridge has the longest history in the Yuan Dynasty.
This time, we visited Huangliangfu Bridge on the highway in Everest, not the bridge in the township. Speaking of bridges, there are all kinds of bridges in the world, modern cable-stayed bridges and ancient stone arch bridges.
In cable-stayed bridges, the deck is fixed and supported by cables suspended from vertical towers. Anasis Bridge on Fleischer River near Vancouver is the first cable-stayed bridge with composite buildings. On this bridge, the thin reinforced prestressed concrete deck is supported by the steel beam frame. On both sides of the 182-meter-high concrete bridge tower, two balance cantilevers are supported by steel frames.
Zhao Zhouqiao is the person who can best embody the artistic style of stone arch bridge.
Zhao Zhouqiao, also known as Anji Bridge, was built in the great cause of the Sui Dynasty (605-6 18) by the famous craftsman Li Chun. The bridge is 64.40 meters long and 37.02 meters long. It is a single-hole stone arch bridge with the longest span and the earliest construction time in the world. Because there are two small holes in the shoulders at both ends of the bridge, it is called open shoulder type. This is a great event in the history of bridge building in the world.
Zhao Zhouqiao has experienced 10 floods, 8 wars and many earthquakes, especially the Xingtai earthquake of magnitude 7.6 in 1966, which has been 1400 years. Xingtai is only over 40 kilometers away from Zhao Zhouqiao. There was also a 4.0 earthquake here, but Zhao Zhouqiao was not damaged.
Mao Yisheng, a famous bridge expert, said that no matter what the internal structure of the bridge is, the fact that it can exist for more than 1400 years speaks for itself. The flood of 1963 flooded the arch of the bridge. According to the local old man, the bridge can feel a lot of shaking when standing on it, but it didn't collapse in the end. This is a miracle.
In order to study and investigate the situation of Huangliangfu Bridge, we launched the theme investigation activity of "Golden Mountain Love". On the morning of July 6th, 2006, under the guidance of Comrade Xu Jianguo, Comrade Xia led an investigation team of eight people to make a field trip to the Everest Highway in the drizzle.
We only know the general direction of Huangliangfu Bridge, but we don't know where it is. We asked several people on the way and finally found Huangliangfuqiao. Huangliangfu Bridge is a cement slab bridge. It is about 70 meters long and is an important bridge connecting the Everest Highway. The bridge is 33 meters wide, with four lanes, * * * 16.48 meters, and the sidewalk is 5.32 meters wide and isolated.
However, just as we were in high spirits to end the investigation, we learned from the residents nearby that this was only a newly built Huangliang pontoon bridge, not the original Huangliang pontoon bridge. Under the guidance of local residents, we came to the original site of Huangliangfu Bridge dozens of meters north of Xinqiao. To our surprise, the original bridge no longer exists, only the bridge foundation, deck and pier on both sides of the river are left. According to our field measurement, the original bridge foundation is wider.
After consulting 1993, the local chronicles of Fengwei recorded in the second section of Chapter VI "Cultural Relics" under "Ancient trees, temples and bridges":
Huangliangfu Bridge was built in Huangliangfu in the 46th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1707), hence the name. The rear axle collapsed and was built. In the 18th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1892), private funds were raised for reconstruction. The bridge is a five-hole stone-lined slab bridge with a length of 55 meters and a width of 2.80 meters. There are stone railings on both sides, which is the largest in the township.
This record is consistent with the history passed down from mouth to mouth by ordinary people and is credible.
During the investigation, we came across a temple on the east side of the ancient bridge, which was also in ruins. According to the local people, this temple is a Hairui temple. In the middle of the temple, there is a couplet "Marshal's medical skill saves lives and heals the wounded", and local people often burn incense on some days. According to our measurement, the temple is 2.44 meters wide and 6.45 meters deep. There is also a memorial hall next to this temple.
During the inspection, we can't help thinking: Why do people build a temple in the original site of Huangliang pontoon bridge to commemorate Harry? What is the relationship between Harry and Fengjing?
We searched online: Hai Rui, whose name is Ruxian, Qiongshan, Zhongjuren. When I arrived in Beijing, I prostrated myself under the palace and presented Li Pingce. I wanted to clear the way and set up a county town to stabilize the countryside. Moved to Chun 'an County, wore a cloth robe, ate coarse grains and brown rice, and let the old servant grow his own vegetables. For my mother's birthday, I only bought two Jin of meat.
Because of his hard work, he was promoted to governor. Subordinate officials are all afraid of the emperor, and many corrupt officials have voluntarily gone to their posts. The distinguished dignitaries originally painted the door red, but when they heard that Harry was coming, they changed it to black. The eunuch supervised weaving in Jiangnan, because Harry came to reduce his entourage. Hai Rui was bent on promoting the good and eliminating the evil, demanding the regulation of Wusong River and Baimao River, which flowed into the sea, and the people benefited from the construction of water conservancy. Harry hates big families annexing land.
In the early years of Wanli, Zhang presided over the national government and did not like Harry. He ordered the patrol to examine Harry according to the imperial history. The suggestion was inspected in the mountains, and Harry killed the chicken to get the millet. The house is barren and humble, and the suggestion sighs. Zhang was afraid of Harry's seriousness and honest and frank. Chinese and foreign officials recommended him many times, but in the end he was not appointed. Wanli winter, Zhang died, the official department intends to use Harry as the left. The emperor always valued him.
The emperor summoned Harry many times, but the cabinet minister who presided over the state affairs secretly stopped him, so he was appointed as Shi Yu, the right capital of Nanjing. All departments are always negligent, and Harry tries to correct the shortcomings. There was a Shi Yu who occasionally played opera music. According to the laws and regulations of Ming Taizu, Harry was flogged. Guan Bai is afraid of suffering. I'm afraid that the person who was promoted to the position of an ancient scholar had to complain first, and Zhong Yuchun urged him to do so. Fang Huan slandered Harry again.
Harry has no son. After his death, Wang Yongji, the Imperial Advisor of Jindu, went to take care of him. When Harry's spiritual pivot was transported back to his hometown, people in white clothes and white hats stood on both sides of the river to pay homage to the people who cried for hundreds of miles. The imperial court posthumously conferred titles on Prince Harry, Taibao and Tadao.
Harry's learning all his life is artificial and rigid, so he is called Mr. Feng Gang in the world.
We know that people still remember Harry because he was honest all his life.
But this can be done all over the country, and it does not prove the relationship between Harry and Fengjing.
We searched the Internet again and found the story of Harry and Feng Jing.
Legend has it that there used to be a White Horse Temple not far from Fengjing White Bull Swing. The white horse nerve in the temple often helps the poor to plow the fields at night, and returns to the temple at dawn, so he is very tired and sweaty every night.
After a day of rain, someone found a small temple along the horseshoe prints. He was very surprised to find that the white horse with wooden tires and clay sculptures was soaked to the skin. Since then, the small temple where Baima lived has been filled with incense. Since then, the small temple where Baima lived has been called Baima Temple.
This year, White Horse helped Li Laoshi's family to cultivate land, but it brought disaster. That night, Li Laoshi knew that the White Horse God was secretly helping him, so he left delicious horse feed for the White Horse. The white horse didn't eat, and when he was hungry, he ate the wheat seedlings in the field on his way back to the temple. The next day, Li Laoshi found that White Horse had eaten Mr. Diao's wheat seedlings, and secretly complained. Sure enough, Mr Diao accused Li Laoshi of stealing his wheat seedlings and told Bo Gong.
The "young crops case" aroused people's antipathy, and the court ordered Harry to try the case. Harry came to Songjiang House incognito and heard the legend of White Horse Temple, but he didn't believe that wooden horses made of mud would eat wheat seedlings. For a while, I couldn't get a clue, and Haiye was fidgeting.
The following spring, Baima knew that she had made a big disaster, so she plowed the fields for the Li Laoshi family. When I left, I retaliated by eating a large piece of wheat seedlings from Mr. Diao's house. Harry, who was hiding in the dark, saw it and immediately followed. Tianan Road was slippery, so Harry simply took off his shoes and socks and chased him to Baima Temple. At this time, the white horse just arrived, sweating all over. Harry saw it, stroking his horse with heartache and sighed, "White horse!" "
Therefore, during the trial of the young crops case in the Tang Dynasty, Diao, the falsely accused foreign minister, was deprived of his fame, added 100 powers and responsibilities and sent to the army. Li Laoshi is honest and trustworthy, and he will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. Hai Qingtian helped Li Laoshi, who was kneeling on the ground, personally escorted him out of the temple gate, and took out his salary of 220 taels of silver to the golden body of White Horse. When the truth of the young crops case came out, the white horse saw the blue sky, screamed and went home with the wind.
Although the true location of Baima Temple can't be found now, the story of Hai Rui's case of breaking young crops has been circulated in Fengjing. At this point, we finally understand why the people want to build a temple in the original site of Huangliangfuqiao to commemorate Hairui.
