Sima bridge in Chengdu: "if you don't take the high chariot Sima, you can't go down"

Located on the Shahe River, one hundred meters outside Gaosun pond in the north gate of Chengdu, lies a small bridge, which is the famous Sima bridge in ancient and modern times. It's a fork in the road when you cross the bridge to the north. It's simaqiao street when you go straight. It's simaqiao road when you turn right.

Simaqiao road is connected to Chengdu east railway station, erxianqiao and Chengdu University of technology in the East. There is a famous simaqiao fruit wholesale market beside the road. Nine out of ten fresh fruits eaten by Chengdu people come from here. Simaqiao street is the northward passage, the starting point of the old Sichuan Shaanxi highway. The important sign of the street is that the Chengdu Chongqing railway is horizontally above the highway. Therefore, people say that it is the earliest overpass in Chengdu, and the basic pattern of today has been formed since the 1950s.

Sima bridge itself is the only way to connect Sima Bridge Street, Sima Bridge Road and Jiefang Road. Geographically speaking, it is really the hub of Sichuan Shaanxi Road at the north gate of Chengdu.

Sima bridge was originally named Shengxian bridge, because the river under the bridge is named Shengxian water, which is today's Shahe River. According to the records of Huayang state, "there is a bridge of Shengxian and a bridge of seeing off guests ten miles north of the city. Sima Xiangru first entered Chang'an in the Han Dynasty. He wrote his name on his door and said," if you don't take the high chariot and Sima, you can go down. " So later generations took the meaning of Sima Xiangru's inscription and renamed the bridge "Sima". In fact, Sima Xiangru didn't fulfill his promise when he came back from Sichuan for the first time, because he was a great talent in Sichuan, a literary magnate of the Han Dynasty, and had an affair with Zhuo Wenjun for thousands of years. People deliberately ignored his difficulties.

Sima Xiangru, the character Changqing, was good at reading and sword dancing when he was young. He changed his name because he admired Lin Xiangru. Sima Qian was quite partial to his family and devoted a lot of time to his biography. However, he left some interesting words about Xiangru's love and marriage with Zhuo Wenjun. According to records of the historian, Sima Xiangru, who first arrived in Chang'an, received a cold reception because of emperor Jingdi's bad diction and Fu, and was only awarded a military cavalry service. Xiangru had no choice but to resign because of illness. He got to know Zou Yang, Mei Cheng, Zhuang Ji and other literati and became a diner of Liang Xiaowang. But soon King Xiao died. Xiangru lost his support and had to go back to his hometown. How dare he ask for anything?

Wang Jinai, the magistrate of Linqiong County, is a good friend of Xiangru, although Xiangru temporarily lives under his family. But after all, it's not a long plan, so the two put on a "double spring". The rich in Linqiong do not know how much Sima Xiangru has come from, and they all want to curry favor with him. Xiangru got the chance to enter the banquet of Zhuo Wang Sun Fu, the richest man in China. During the dinner, a song "Phoenix courtship" stirred the heart of Zhuo's daughter Wenjun. Zhuo Wenjun finally eloped with the romantic Sima Xiangru. Back in Chengdu, Wen Jun found out that Xiangru was a poor scholar who lived in four walls except for a car. In order to make a living, Wenjun went back to Linqiong to open a small bar again and performed the story of "Xiangru Diqi Wenjun Dang long", which has been said to be an eternal beauty. The rich Zhuo Wang sun finally lost his face. Under the persuasion of his relatives and friends, he had to give millions of money, hundreds of servants and children, and a lot of money to accompany him.

Sima Xiangru returned to his hometown with his beautiful wife and beauty. In addition, the poem Zixu Fu made the emperor Longyan very happy. He even exclaimed: "I can't be with this man at the same time!" Xiangru is finally called to Beijing again. This time, he has enough confidence! Sure enough, a few years later, Sima Xiangru was appointed as Zhonglang general and sent to southwest Yi twice. Returning to Chengdu is not only Gao Che Sima, but also "the prefect of Shu, Jiao Ying, and the county magistrate, who are the pioneers". Chengdu people are proud of it. King Zhuo and his grandson welcome each other with wine and meat, secretly congratulating themselves that they didn't do everything in that year. In the Tang Dynasty, cen Shen wrote a poem named Shengxian bridge: "it's still before the long bridge is built. He took a carriage, but he came back from the bridge. "

However, the name of Shengxian bridge should be changed to Sima bridge in Song Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, jingboring, the magistrate of Chengdu, rebuilt a bridge on the Fu River. He thought that it was the bridge that Sima Xiangru had inscribed at that time, so he renamed the rebuilt bridge Sima bridge and wrote a story of Sima bridge. Beijing boring made a joke for ages, but it also left the names of two Sima bridges in Chengdu.

The red chariot Sima is proud, so the country can not be used by scholars.

Li Qu (Ju é), then the matter of salt and iron calculation, cars and ships, sheep and horses, into the matter to supplement the official, shipping in addition to the cost, the cost is extremely low. However, the elder minister, with the talent of Lingyun, obscenely quarreled with Qian and mengdai to abolish the Fu. This is what he used to do in the world, so-called chiche Sima, proud of his wife and concubine, has nothing to do with it. He was not as good as Changqing at that time, but he was very busy at home.
