Historical records

Xianmu bridge has a glorious history. In September 1930, more than 1600 people from the third regiment of the red tenth army and the riot went through xianmuqiao to the town of Huzhen for revolutionary struggle. After the battle, thirty or forty revolutionary martyrs died under the Xianmu bridge. The stone railings on both sides of Xianmu bridge are carved with red flags, hammers, rice ears and sickles.

The reason why Xianmu bridge is called Xianmu bridge is that Zaiyang named it after thanking his mother.

As a matter of fact, Zaiyang's mother's name of "virtuous mother" had been spread in Xitou street before the Xianmu bridge stood. Zaiyang's family lived in Xitou and went to the street. His father died long ago, and his mother made a living by spinning and weaving, and then living by a few burdens of grain from relatives. Although Zai Yang was young, he was very sensible. During the day, he went to the mountains ten miles away to pick up some firewood and go home to cook. He lightened his mother's burden. At night, he accompanied his mother and studied hard under the tung oil lamp. His mother also taught him how to be kind to others. One day, Zai Yang, a firewood picker, went to the foot of Cangling mountain and found a bundle by accident near the pavilion. At that time, it was still early and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Zai Yang picked up the baggage, but he did not pick up the firewood. He rushed home excitedly, told his mother what had happened, and handed it to his mother. Mother took over the burden and felt a little heavy. She put it on the table and untied it slowly. It was full of jewelry, antiques and some silver. The mother came from a large family. Knowing the weight of these things, she packed the bag and ordered her child to return it to the original place as soon as possible, waiting for the owner to claim it. As a child, he was taught by his mother's words and deeds. Looking at his mother's solemn expression, he didn't say anything more and immediately set out for Cangling. At noon the next day, Zai Yang saw a lost man walking down from niubeilong. He led his horse to niujiaowrist Pavilion listlessly. This man is the owner. The owner is a Huizhou tourist, who goes to search for treasures and rare things. The day before yesterday, I took a horse from Wuzhou to Taizhou to meet visitors. I had a rest in the niujiaowrist Pavilion on the ancient road of guacang. I put my horse behind the pavilion to chew grass. I went to the mountain spring under the pavilion to drink some cold water and eat dry food. After eating the snack, the sun was already slanting West. Looking at the late morning, he hurried on again. The road of guacang mountain is winding, and all the way up the slope, to Nantian post station, put in a shop for accommodation, and loosen the horse to relieve the saddle. This is a big surprise. It's my real life! It was dark, and there was no turning back. Lying on the bed, he thought hard about his journey all the way. Until dawn, he left the shop owner and led his horse back to look for it. So he came to the pavilion under niubeilong once again. See the carry Yang, see carry Yang in the hand that oneself lose of burden. When Zai Yang saw the visitor, he knew what was in his mind. After cross examination, he took out the baggage and gave it to the guest. When Huizhou tourists turned back, they didn't hope to do so. They just took a chance. They didn't expect to recover the lost property. Naturally, they were overjoyed and took out a few ingots of silver to give to their children as a reward. Carry Yang push hand not to accept, say, if accept, affirmation can be scolded by mother. The guest felt very strange. Seeing that the child was young and mature and knew filial piety, he asked the child about his family. The child did not hide it. He described his family and his mother's instruction in a bamboo tube. After hearing this, the guest was very shocked, so he was not busy on his way and insisted that the child be led to his mother. Return to Xitou and come to Zaiyang's home. The house was low and old. A few chickens were led by the hens to forage at the foot of the house. It was dark inside. There was a big bed, an old cupboard, a sheep horn stove and a spinning wheel. All the walls were empty, but they were tidy and orderly. My mother is spinning. Huizhou visitors can't help feeling that they are very poor, but they don't move when they get a lot of money. It's really admirable. They think that filial sons and good mothers will surely succeed in the future. So he persuaded the virtuous mother to let her children go to school, leaving some money for them to spend. Later, whenever there was a gap, he came to Xitou to visit and take care of her and her children. Since then, the reputation of filial son and virtuous mother began to spread in Xitou street. In such a flash for more than ten years, Zaiyang has become an adult. With his hard work and wisdom, he has made some money and raised funds to build four bridges in Xitou, Wuyun, Dongdu and other places in Haoxi River Basin, connecting the thoroughfares of Taiwu and Wenwu. Among the four bridges, Xitou bridge has the largest engineering quantity: the stream is wide, the bridge foot is deep, and the erection of arch bridge needs a lot of wood. He collected a large number of trees from the rich man at the top of the mountain, and woven them into wood. The stones were collected from ChiYan mountain, which is hard, tough and not easy to be weathered. After several years of hard work, a Xitou bridge, which runs from east to west and connects Tai Wu corridor, was finally built. The bridge is 36 feet long and is divided into 13 arches, which are made of stone strips. The bridge deck is more than Zhang wide. Stone columns and slabs are erected on both sides as guardrails. Birds, flowers and plants are carved on the slabs. The stone steps at the two bridgeheads are also more than Zhang wide. Several bridge halls are built on the steps on the side of the stone steps near the stream. In one of the bridge halls, several bridge tablets are erected. The inscriptions record the process of bridge construction and the life story of Xianmu bridge inscribed by the county magistrate at that time. Later, this bridge was called Xianmu bridge. inscription on a tablet:

Jinyun has a big stream, which originates from Daben mountain. It is 200 Li from the county. The three who built the wooden bridge across the stream were lofty and magnificent, all founded by Hu Chen and Lu Shi. The stream flows 80 Li to the West and passes through Huchen. There is a bridge said: "Xianmu bridge.". Another 80 Li, before the county government. A bridge said, "Jiyi bridge.". Another ten miles, straight to the East. A bridge said: "Jingshuang bridge". They were all named after Zhu Wenjing. The place where the bridge was built is full of streams. In summer and autumn, there is a rush of rain. It is turbulent and angry. It has the tendency of breaking wood and walking stone. When Confucius and Taoism travel in an endless stream, there is always the danger of drowning. Lu's mother, Cai tairu, was a good man. He always had the ambition to help others. He was compassionate when he heard about it. The raft is easy to float, the wood is easy to decay, and the degree is permanent. It is necessary to build stone beams. To take care of the family is only for the people and property, but not for the people. I'll try my son. On his deathbed, he ordered his son Zai Yang, Zai Xun and Zai Xi to say, "it must be a bridge, so as to fulfill my ambition.". Zaiyang and others built the Huchen bridge in 1817. In the sixth year of Daoguang, Zaiyang's son Jiansheng rebuilt Xianqian bridge. Seven years later, Jiansheng's brother Jianshi built Dongdu bridge. In more than ten years, the three bridges were completed. The amount of money spent and the length of the bridge are detailed in the inscription of Duke Zhu. However, the virtuous of the mother must be determined. The husband's mother is virtuous, but the son can carry on his ambition and help people. Even if it becomes a bridge, it can also comfort the mother's heart! He is the son of a son, and he can push his mother to help others. Is and can become a virtuous son unfinished business, and comfort the heart of the virtuous mother! He is the elder brother of my younger brother, and he can push the mother's heart to help others with his younger brother, forming a bridge again. So the heart of the virtuous mother is greatly relieved! The unfinished business of the virtuous son has come true! The name is Yin mu, Yue Jiyi and Jing Shuang. Is it not that the world is rich and beautiful, that the name and the reality are consistent, and that the virtuous and the filial are in the same school, and that the good and the righteous are in the same room. However, it is not the mother who worries about drowning. It has the amount of ten and a hundred generations. Although we want to help people, we can't do it forever, and we have far-reaching concerns. His son was not always immersed in the instruction of righteousness and benefit and the goodness of giving alms, and he could not keep his will. He went bankrupt to collect things and made contributions over the years. Besides, his grandson is not accustomed to the practice of love and good intentions, but also can't work hard. He works with craftsmen in the ice and snow to achieve this goal. It's a good mother! A son's ambition to become a mother can be described as filial piety! Sun you can carry on his family's ambition, which can be said to be smooth! Whoa, who is not the sage of mother? How can you tame her! At the age of nine, Yu came to see what happened in the county. In order to sigh for the virtuous mother's flow Ze Kong Chang, and I hope the Lu's descendants do not lead in Wujiang! Lu's gentlemen, I can't see more than that, but can see Zaixi and Jiansheng. It is hoped that the son of Guangshan County Magistrate, Jin wupinjie, for fengweng, thrifty without Guijie state, can keep the mother training. Jiansheng is simple, honest and courageous. If you have no money at home, it's easy to donate a lot of money. Wood and stone battle can be personally, not bitter, Gai you is good at physical mother Zhiyun.

In 1848, Tang Chenglie, the magistrate of Jinyun County, wrote the Wushen office
