Shi Shui Ding Bu

The Sixth Batch of national key cultural relics -- Shi Shui Ding Bu

The rudiments of the bridge are dike beam bridge, single wooden bridge and floating bridge connected by ships. "Kaogongdian Shiyi Ji" and "bamboo annals" respectively recorded: "Shun ordered Yu (about 2100 BC) to Shuchuan to lay a mountain, to help Juhai, and YUANTUO to be Liang" and "in the 37th year of King Mu of Zhou (about 965 BC), he conquered Chu, established nine divisions, reached Jiujiang in the East, and erected YUANTUO to be Liang". The turtle alligator is a very large turtle. In the shallow streams, the newly emerged stone steps and large stone blocks look like turtle backs one after another. The ancients vividly called them turtle alligators. In order to wade through streams and streams, ancient people used large and small gravels or relatively neat stones to build one stone step after another in the water, forming a stone bridge of dike beam type, that is to say, "building a turtle alligator as a beam.". For example, in Er Ya Shi Gong, it is said that "the stone bar is called Yu" and "the person who is walking on the bridge will gather in the stone water to prepare for the person who is walking". Modern people call it "Tingbu bridge", "guoshuiliang bridge" and "guoshuiming bridge".

history

Today, this type of ancient bridge can be seen in many mountainous areas. Taishun County, Zhejiang Province, has a double deck dike girder bridge passing through Shiyang River

The high one is for people to walk on their shoulders, and the low one is for ordinary pedestrians. Because of the short flood season of the river, there is no need to build a bridge across the river. (refer to the history of bridges in the series of Chinese history of science and Technology)

There are many dingbu bridges in Taishun with a long history. According to the existing relevant information, the earliest anchorage was built in the Tang Dynasty. Among the ancient built anchorages, the Qing dynasty built the largest number of anchorages, and the structure was more exquisite than other times. The most representative of the Taishun anchorage is the Shishui anchorage mentioned in the history of bridges. The anchorage was built in the Ming Dynasty and located in xiajiagang, Shiyang. It was destroyed by floods in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and was moved to the upstream "jiduchu". It was rebuilt in 1794 and repaired in 1819. According to the literature, the couplet of "jiangnanjing scholar's couplet · official water anchor step" reads: "the shape of the bureau is the crown of China, seeing off the passing River, crossing the river in peace, still lingjiaqingshi; the sky opens up the human realm, the body walks in the paradise, and the reverie expedition continues the official Yang road." The couplet reflects the historical facts of the reconstruction of this anchorage in ancient times and its important role in transportation. The existing Shi Shui Ding Bu was rebuilt again in 1987.

In recent years, due to the rapid development of small hydropower industry in Taishun, some of the anchorages have been submerged in the reservoir construction.

geographical position

Taishun is located in the south of Zhejiang Province, with crisscross valleys, crisscross streams, crossing streams and wading, mostly relying on anchorages. Dingbu is the original prototype of bridge, which is widely distributed in Taishun. In all seasons of the year, except for the flood prone season, the anchorage can run smoothly, and it is economical and practical to use local materials. At the beginning of the anchorage, the stone teeth were made of natural stones with uneven teeth. Later, the processed stones were used for masonry, which was neat and beautiful. Stone teeth are usually built into man-made stone beaches, and a few of them are drilled on flat and exposed rock strata and embedded in hole grooves. According to the investigation data of relevant departments in 1987, there are 245 anchorages in the county, with more than 10 short teeth and more than 200 long teeth. Most of them are Sandu Bay water system. In the section from Dongxi to Shiyang, there are 10 anchorages within 20 miles, with a length of more than 100 teeth, especially in Shishui. It is located on the South Shiyang River in Xidong village, Shiyang town. It was built in 1795 and rebuilt in 1820. It is a double-layer structure dike beam bridge. The upper and lower stream beds of the anchorage have a large area of well shaped wooden frame and Pebble Beach foundation to stabilize the anchorage. The anchorage has 223 teeth, with a total length of 136 meters. The dingbu of shiyangxi East Village was first built in the Ming Dynasty. It was built from the front beach of xidonggong to xiazhaigang on the opposite bank, 200 meters downstream of xiandingbu, with a total of 360 teeth. The dingbu was destroyed by a catastrophic flood in the middle of Ming Dynasty. Later, the villagers chose "Jidu" in the upstream, that is, 100 meters upstream of the existing anchorage, and rebuilt the anchorage, which was destroyed by the flood. At the end of the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, some local sages re selected sites to build dingbu, which was completed in 1795. During the Jiaqing period, the anchorage was damaged by the flood. The villagers summed up their experience again, explored new techniques, rebuilt the anchorage, and built the beach foundation with pebbles at the root of the anchorage and the upper and lower beaches, and reinforced the beach foundation with well shaped pine frame. As a breakthrough in this technology, dingbu has survived for a long time. This is the existing Shishui dingbu.
