Baiyuanchuanchi

Baiyuanchuanchi

Baiyuanchuanchi is located in Licheng District, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. The ancient moats of Luocheng and Zicheng in Quanzhou, after long-term confluence, formed a drainage system, crisscross, known as "Bagua ditch". Baiyuanchuan reservoir is one of the storage and discharge tanks of the drainage system, and its water goes straight to the outside of the Tumen gate, which means "tracing the source of baiyuanchuan". There is a bronze Buddha Temple in the northwest corner. In the temple, there are several bronze Buddha statues cast in 1752, which are solemn and vivid. The overseas Chinese building and the workers' Cultural Palace are on the East and west sides of the pool, with pavilions and curved bridges.

geographical position

Baguagou drainage system is located in Licheng District. It is HaoGou and pond left over from Zicheng and Luocheng of Quanzhou since Tang Dynasty. It was gradually connected to form drainage channels in song and Yuan Dynasties and spread all over the city. It is an important historical site for the study of ancient Quanzhou city buildings. After several times of dredging, the North Canal of Jinji was irrigated, and the main urban drainage system was formed with baiyuanchuan pond. Baiyuanchuanchi is located in the west of today's workers' Cultural Palace, covering an area of more than 13 mu, close to the ancient bronze Buddha Temple. The pool passes through the moat outside tumenwai, which means tracing back to the source of all rivers. There is an octagonal pavilion in the pool, which is the top floor of Zunjing Pavilion (commonly known as Kuixing tower) near Minglun hall. The release pool was originally Guangxiao Temple pool, which played a certain role in the east side of Quanzhou City. There is a bronze Buddha Temple in the northwest corner. In the temple, there are several bronze Buddhas cast in the 17th year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1752 A.D.), which are solemn in shape and vivid in expression. The overseas Chinese building and the workers' Cultural Palace are on the East and west sides of the pool. There are pavilions and curved bridges in the pool

Quanzhou Bridge

There were seven gates in Quanzhou City, including the east gate, the south gate, the west gate, the north gate, the Tumen gate, the shuimen gate and the new gate. Now they have been destroyed. In the 12th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1352), Qiyu, the prefect of Quanzhou City, established the South Tuoluo city as the wing city. The original South Moat became a HaoGou in the city, so some stone bridges were built on the ditch to facilitate communication. There were 24 bridges, but now there are only eight.

Zushiqiao

In Zushi lane, there is Zushi palace in the north of the lane. The bridge spans HaoGou in the north-south direction, with seven granite slabs. The eaves on both sides are overlapped to support the bridge. The bridge is 6.65m long and 2.93M wide. There are stone railings on both sides and stone steps on the South and west side of the bridge, with a length of 2.5 meters. Next to it is a bridge stele, which was erected in June of the 52nd year of Kangxi (1713). The stele reads: "the weiqiaogou in Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture, has been expanded, and the stone is used to record.". The bridge connects Tumen street in the South and Houcheng Lane in the north.

Halal Bridge

After the Qingjing temple in Tumen street, it crossed HaoGou. It was built in the Song Dynasty. It was originally a stone bridge, but it was changed into a cement bridge in 1995 when the old city was rebuilt. The granite railings on both sides of the bridge are engraved with "halal bridge".

There are balustrades on both sides, which are 0.60m high and 0.40m wide. The bridge slab is 35cm thick. Now the bridge deck is covered with cement.

Diefang Bridge

In diefang lane, Xinmen street in Nantong, and Jinyu Lane in the north. The bridge has seven granite slabs, 5.9 meters long and 3.05 meters wide. So the stone slab was covered with thin cement. There are stone steps on the east side of the north bank, which can go down to HaoGou.

Tongjin Bridge

In the first lane on the west side of HaoGou, Xinhua Road, Xinmen street in Nantong and fucuo mountain in the north. It is now in the south of HaoGou. There are six stone slabs, 4.4m long, 3.25m wide and 0.57M thick. There is a stone tablet on the wall of the residential building on the South and west side of the bridge, which is 1.22 meters high and 0.60 meters wide; the pedestal is 0.40 meters high and 0.73 meters wide; the surface of the tablet is covered with white ash, and the content is unknown.

Bridge of magpie and bird

Inside the Shuiguan pass of shuimen (nanxunmen), the bridge was originally a stone slab bridge with east-west direction, but it was changed to a concrete bridge in the 1980s. The bridge is 5 meters long and 5 meters wide. The south side of the bridge is close to the original Shuiguan gate. The width of HaoGou on the south side of the bridge is only 3 meters due to the rock filled ditch on both sides of the bridge. The width of HaoGou on the north side is still 6 meters.

Tongqiao

On the south side of the Narcissus palace in MABAN lane, the overseas Chinese are next to the palace. It used to be a stone slab bridge, but now it is paved with cement. The bridge is 4 meters long and 3 meters wide.

Xingqiao

On the west side of MABAN lane, there were originally seven stone slabs, and then four were widened. The bridge is 4.5m long and 6m wide. To the east of the three bridges is the former site of shibosi and shibosi warehouse in song and Yuan Dynasties. After the middle of Ming Dynasty, both shibosi and warehouse were abandoned, so the three stone bridges were built on HaoGou, which leads to Jinjiang River.
