Appreciation of poetry

The city bridge is built quietly. People don't know it. One star looks like night for a long time.

Passing by Songzi Laifeng bridge,

There are birds flying by.

They say that birds are auspicious,

It's also the origin of the name when it was built.

One side of the bridge is a slope and the other side is a step,

Left born male, right born female,

There is a hollow flower wall between them, which makes it convenient for two people to face each other.

The quiet ancient bridge has been standing for a hundred years,

Unable to speak,

Just wait for time to go away,

Only eyes to witness countless couples here vow, fate set Sansheng.

Maybe after middle age,

After decades, it is also plain,

Like clear water without waves;

When I was young,

Sometimes just a few years is like a lifetime,

That's the truth.

The shadow of the bridge is pulled out by the setting sun,

I always think it's like a word "love.",

A little bit moved, a little bit gone,

Or walked back and forth along the slope several times,

In my heart is forever.

The ancients paid attention to Yin and Yang, Nanyang and Beiyin. In ancient times, men were Yang and women were Yin. On the south side of the bridge is the ladder, on the north side is the oblique "water town" with a hundred steps of Shaoshan trail, and the wind bridge is as high as a lying rainbow. The day is light, the sky is green, and the clouds are clear. When you climb up, you can see Moli peak. " Note: "there are no mountains around Xitang, but the sky is clear. When you look to the north of Laifeng bridge, you can see the peaks of Taihu Lake." This Zhuzhi poem was written by Li Zhongqi, a late poet in Xitang, and is included in his poetry collection Pingchuan folk song. Jiaxing and Jiashan have no mountains, which has always been regretted by local poets. In the past, Zhu Shouzhu of Jiaxing had a joke about lying down in the South Lake to see Xia yunrushan. It seems that it is more interesting than climbing a high mountain.

history

According to the records of Xitang Town, Laifeng bridge was built in 1637 A.D. and rebuilt twice in Qing Dynasty. It is said that when the bridge was first built, a bird flew in. The city people thought it was auspicious, so they named it "Songzi Laifeng bridge". In 1988, it was rebuilt as a single span reinforced concrete arch bridge. In 1998, it was rebuilt in the form of "corridor" in classical gardens, with partition walls, flower windows and passageways on both sides. It is said that all newlyweds crossing this bridge, male left female right, can bu Guizi. This bridge is also known as "dripping bridge" and "lovers bridge". The former can remind people of the scene of rainy days. Wouldn't it be better to sit here and have a drink. Of course, men go up the stairs, while women take small steps to keep a stable home. The old people say, "if the newly married couple go, they will send their children in the South and come to Phoenix in the north." if there are people who haven't got their children after marriage, they might as well go too. Meili'er, the heroine of the international movie star "a dream of the covered bridge", came to Xitang and walked on the covered bridge. Every weekend or holiday, there are local opera fans playing and singing on the bridge, which fully reflects the leisure of Jiangnan Water Town.

As far as the bridge is concerned, the Songzi Laifeng bridge is really quite unique. Only a bridge has the characteristics of Jiangnan garden in terms of conception, and it changes scenery step by step. In the middle of the bridge is a decorative wall, which divides the bridge into two worlds. There are fan windows hollowed out on the wall. Through the windows, you can see the real pictures of the water town.
