Anciently, Zhaozhou was the present Zhao County in Hebei Province. There were two stone bridges in Zhaozhou, one in the south and one in the west of the city. The big stone bridge in the south of the city looks like a rainbow over the river, magnificent and majestic. Folklore says, this big stone bridge is Lu Ban repair; west of the city of small stone bridge, look like a small white dragon floating on the water, alive, legend has it that this small stone bridge is Lu Ban's sister Lu Jiang repair. These two bridges have been repaired well! The stage staged "Little Cattle", there is also this lyrics: "Zhaozhou stone bridge Lu Ban grandfather repair, jade railing saints stay, Zhang Guolao donkey ride on the bridge to go, Chai Wang Wang cart rolled a ditch." Here sings the legend of Lu Ban repair Zhaozhou Bridge.

Legend has it that Lu Ban and his sister traveled around the world, went to Zhaozhou, a white Xiao River blocked the way. On the river side of the carts, tandem, selling onions, selling garlic, riding horses to catch the examination, pulling donkeys to catch the meeting of the hustle and bustle, scrambling to cross the river into the city. There were only two small boats swinging around in the river, and they could not pass a few people for half a day. When Lu Ban saw this, he asked, "Why don't you build a bridge over the river?" People said, "The river is wide, the water is deep, the waves are fast, who dares to repair it, and we can't find such a skillful craftsman even if we hit the lantern!" Lu Ban listened to the heart of a move, and sister Lu Jiang discussed, to build two bridges for the pedestrians. Lu Ban said to his sister: "Let's repair the big stone bridge first and then repair the small stone bridge!" Lu Jiang said: "OK!" Lu Ban said, "Building bridges is hard work, don't be afraid to suffer!" Lu Jiang said, "I'm not afraid!"

Lu Ban said, "It's good that you're not afraid. Your heart is stupid and your hands are clumsy, if you are afraid of suffering, you will be in trouble." This sentence made Lu Jiang upset. She said defiantly: "You do not think that my heart stupid hand clumsy, this day, we separate repair, you repair big, I repair small, and you race

a race, see who repair fast, good repair." Lu Ban said, "Good, race! When will you start the work and when will you finish it?" Lu Jiang said: "The stars out of darkness to start work, the chicken call day dawn to finish work." Once the word is finalized, brother and sister split up to prepare. Lu Ban unhurriedly sneaked west toward the mountains. When Lu Jiang arrived at the west side of the city, she hurriedly started to work. While she was repairing, she thought: don't be busy, I have to pull you down. Sure enough, before the third watch was over, the small stone bridge was repaired. Then she quietly ran to the south of the city to see what her brother had repaired. To the south of the city to see, the river is not even a bridge shadow. Lu Ban was not at the river either. She thought to herself that her brother had lost this time. But turned his head, west of Taihang Mountain, a man driving a flock of sheep, jumping and scurrying down the mountain. Waiting to get closer to see, the original sheep driving is her brother. Which is to drive the sheep ah, clearly driven to a piece of snow like white, like jade as smooth stone, these stones to the river, a blink of an eye into a processed variety of stone. There are square bridge foundation stones, rectangular bridge deck stones, crescent-shaped arch ring stones, and beautiful railings. Beautiful columns, where the bridge, everything. Lu Jiang a look at the heart of a shock, so good stone to build a bridge to be how strong ah! In contrast, they built that can not, need to quickly think of remedies. It is too late to rebuild, just in the carving on the efforts to cover him! She quietly went back to the west side of the city to start, in the railing engraved Pangu open heaven, Dayu water, and engraved the cowherd and the weaving maiden, the phoenix and the sunrise. What rare birds and animals, exotic flowers and plants, are carved like the real thing. Carved birds can fly, carved flowers scented. She herself looked at this exquisite carving satisfied, and ran to the south of the city to peep at Lu Ban. At first glance, she exclaimed. The rainbow in the sky, how to fall on the river? Fixed attention and then a closer look, it turned out that the brother to build a bridge, just missing a good bridge on the last pillar of the lookout. Her brother won a bet, so she played a joke with him. She dodged squatting behind the willow tree, pinching the throat and stretching the neck, "coo-coo-coo -" learned a chicken call. She screamed, led to the nearby people's home chickens also screamed. Lu Ban heard the chickens, rushed to the last pillar to the bridge a lookout, the bridge is also considered to be completed. These two bridges, a small one, are very beautiful. Luban's big stone bridge, majestic, durable; Lu Jiang repair small stone bridge, delicate, beautiful and delightful. Zhaozhou built two bridges in one night, and the next day it was a sensation in the nearby state government offices and counties. Everyone watched and praised. The skilled craftsmen came here to learn their crafts, and the skillful girls came here to describe their patterns. People came to visit every day, like running water. This strange thing soon spread to the Peng Cai immortal island immortal Zhang Guolao's ears. Zhang Guolao didn't believe it, he thought Lu Ban had such a great ability! He invited Mr. Chai to go and see for himself. Zhang Guolao rode a small black donkey, Chai Wang Wang pushed a one-wheeled cart, the two came to Zhaozhou stone bridge, just met Lu Ban is standing on the bridge, looking at the pedestrians laughing! Zhang Guolao asked Lu Ban: "This bridge is you repair?" Lu Ban said, "Yes, what's wrong with it?" Zhang Guolao pointed to the little black donkey and Master Chai's one-wheeled cart and said, "If we cross the bridge, will it stand up?" Lu Ban gave them a glance and said, "If a big mule and a big horse, and a golden carriage and a silver carriage can pass through, can't this little donkey and cart of yours pass through?" When Zhang Guolao heard this, he thought that he was talking too much, so he used magic to gather the sun and the moon, and put them in the pouch on the donkey's back, with the sun on the left side and the moon on the right side. Master Chai also used magic to gather the five famous mountains and mounted them on the cart. The two men smiled a little, pushing the donkey to the bridge. As soon as they got on the bridge, they looked at the bridge and saw it lolling. Lu Ban hastily jumped to the bridge, raised his right hand to hold the bridge, save the bridge. Two people passed, Zhang Guolao looked back at the bridge to the Chai Wangzhi said: "No wonder people praise, Lu Ban repaired this bridge is really unrivaled in the world." Master Chai nodded his head yes, and only returned to the bridge up Lu Ban, stretched out his thumb, Lu Ban looked at the back of the two of them, said in his heart: "These two people are not simple!" Now, zhaozhou stone bridge bridge, still left zhang guolao riding a donkey stepped on the hoofprints and chai king cart rolled a ditch. To Zhaozhou stone bridge to go to the people, can see, the bridge below the original also left a big handprint Lu Ban master bridge, now can not see.

2. The legend of the bridge

Shengze town about two miles north of the place, there is a green stone, less than three steps wide Jufu Bridge. Qing Xianfeng years (1860) April 13, loyal king Li Xiu-cheng rate of the Taiping army captured the city of Suzhou. On April 25th, he captured Wujiang County

City. In order to open up the passage between Suzhou and Xiuzhou (present-day Jiaxing), the Taiping army condemned the army to advance southward, and the momentum was as strong as breaking

bamboo. One day, Shengze town rumors that the Taiping army has passed through Pingwang, the town Qing soldiers and property owners fearful, fleeing the road.

At Jufu Bridge, the bridge was crowded with many people, and the bridge was blocked at once. At this time, there is a funeral shout

: "material to come! The coffin is coming! meaning that the coffin was being carried over and asked everyone to make way. Scrambling to escape, the Qing soldiers and the rich

in a panic, listening to the "material to come" behind the incessant cries, mistakenly thought that the Taiping army material to come (are coming), to cross the bridge. He was horrified and desperately tried to get out of the bridge.

At once, the chaos, trampled on each other, or trampled to death, or drowned in the water, I do not know how many. From then on, the Jufu Bridge was renamed Zaji Bridge.

3. Hualong Bridge In today's Hefei city west of the name of a place, said "Hualong Bridge". This bridge has not survived, but the name has not been abolished. Legends about the bridge, although the history of the long ago, today is still a lot of people more than happy. There are two legends:

One says that when Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu led troops to violate the fat, Cao Cao suddenly from the hidden boat Pu out. Sun Quan saw Cao's ship protruding, but also see Zangzhou Pu vast blue waves, deep reeds, suspected Cao fraud, then forced a smile on Cao Cao arching his hand and said: "Farewell, I can not imagine that you come so fast." Cao Cao also reluctantly to salute replied: "Old man in the day, the East Wu do not have delusions, hope that the general cherish." Seeing that the attack was unsuccessful, Sun Quan turned back. Thus, the bridge here is named "back to the Dragon Bridge" ("Luzhou Prefecture"). Back to the Dragon Bridge" text: "Legend has it that Cao Cao and Sun Quan held in this back section of the cloud").

Two said, according to legend, Emperor Kangxi of Qing dynasty, there is a consort is the goddaughter of Hefei Gong Da Sima. One day, the consort of the Emperor to visit relatives in Hefei, in order to allow the Emperor may not be through the city gate, and directly across the Interstate River into the city, so the local officials decided to build a bridge in the west of the city. Unfortunately, this matter was court officials to discourage, said Hefei, "Chopping Dragon Gang", "Mei Long Dam", violating the taboo, line to the inauspicious. Therefore, the emperor's decision to drive to Hefei was stopped. And when the bridge built to meet the emperor, later was named "back to the Dragon Bridge", meaning that the emperor (the real dragon son of heaven) back. The old site of the bridge is on the south side of the west section of the present-day Changjiang Road.

Xiling Bridge and Long Bridge, Broken Bridge and known as the West Lake three lovers bridge.

West Lake bridge are not too long, modeling can not be said to have any special features, but put along the lake to grow a certain number of years in the middle of the French sycamore is just right, it looks extraordinarily comfortable. Xileng Bridge is no exception.

Lone Mountain towards the Beili Lake side, in the area of the intersection with Beishan Road, there is a large piece of lawn, winter afternoons, there are a lot of people are sitting in the sunshine on the grass playing cards and drinking tea. After passing the Xileng Seal Society, which has a large seal in front of its entrance, you will arrive at the Xileng Bridge.

About 1,500 years ago, on a warm spring day, a beautiful woman sitting in an oil-walled car gently lifted the curtain on the car, or there was no curtain at all, and saw a beautiful man riding a buckskin horse. Love happens like this on the willow-lined West Lake.

The westward slanting sunlight swept across the broad water and shone into the Mu Cai Pavilion at the head of the Xileng Bridge. From afar, I saw a female guide gesturing at the pavilion, next to a group of ten or so tourists, not wanting to approach, but the explanation has ended. I can only sit in the pavilion, alone, looking at the West Lake, and then imagine such a possible scene.

Su Xiaoxiao, the Southern Qi Qian sugar people, intelligent and beautiful, although a kabuki, but self-knowledge and self-love. This is a short review of her by people who lived more than 1,500 years later, replacing oil-walled carts and buckskin horses with sightseeing trolleys, inscribed on a stone monument right next to the pavilion.

Normally, it would seem that for a daughter of two dead parents and no siblings from a young age, coupled with her low social status, it would have been impossible for Su to lead a normal life, let alone a love life.

However, in the world of West Lake, Su Xiaoxiao was a maverick, living so passionately. Like her longing for the arrival of love, is her in the West Lake in the "self-driving car" tour met.

"My concubine rode in the oil-walled car, and my husband rode in the buckskin horse. Where are you going to tie the knot, under the pines and cypresses of Xiling Lake? This song, "Qiantang Su Xiao Xiao Song", which has been circulating since Southern Chen in the Sixth Dynasty, is about Su Xiao's first love. A chance encounter with Ruan Yu, the son of an official who came to visit, and then they lived together in Su Xiao Xiao's house by the Xiling Bridge.

However, sweet dreams are easy to wake up. The love affair ended after half a year, and Ruan Yu, who was recruited by his strict father to return to Jinling, never came back. But Su Xiaoxiao was not overly sad, and the mountains and lakes of West Lake were the best place for her to get rid of the blocks in her heart.

The man who built Su Xiaoxiao's grave was the second man she met at the West Lake, the once downtrodden scholar Bao Ren, who was later able to go to the capital to take the exams after she gave him hundreds of taels of silver. However, he also went like a yellow crane. And Su Xiaoxiao still ride the oil wall car, wandering in the landscape of the West Lake, until one day occasionally wind cold, in the most youthful 22 years old died. At that time, Bao Ren, who had already become the assassin of Slide State, suddenly appeared out of nowhere, cried a lot, and then chose a plot of land to build a tomb by the Xiling Bridge.

Su Xiao Xiao's marvelous point is that she saw through the fate of the beginning and end of the treatment of love, as if the sky of the wind and moon as natural as the clouds, rather than too much mediation hurt body. In addition, her character of recognizing talents and saving people from poverty was naturally respected by scholars and people for more than 1,000 years. Even hundreds of years after her death, the Song Dynasty, a man named Sima Caizhong, still in Luoyang dreamed Su Xiao Xiao sang for him, and finally infatuated with him also not far away from thousands of miles, to come to find the dream of the West Lake.

The descendants built a "Mucai Pavilion" for Su Xiaoxiao on the edge of the West Lake. Today, this side of the Xiling Bridge, hanging a couplet, "Lakes and mountains this place was buried jade, wind and moon of its people can cast gold. This Hushan gold and jade, but is an excellent match, but also considered the best memorial to the suave and kind of good people.

Today's people, the death of Liang Shanbo Zhu Yingtai double butterfly memorial, placed in the southeast of the West Lake on the Ten Thousand Pine Ridge. It is said that Liang Zhu's three years of schoolmates were at the Wansong Academy, and a special Liang Zhu reading place has been built today on the Wansong Ridge, which overlooks the West Lake.
