Kintaikyo bridge is a five arch bridge across Kanagawa, which is listed as one of the three famous bridges in Japan. Using traditional woodworking technology, the whole bridge is fixed with only iron and bolt, and fully using exquisite woodworking technology. The bridge was first built in 1673, and it was repeatedly collapsed by floods in the process of construction. After completion, it was destroyed by a typhoon in 1950.

Kintai Bridge

brief introduction

Kintaikyo bridge is a five arch bridge across Kanagawa, which is listed as one of the three famous bridges in Japan. Using traditional woodworking technology, the whole bridge is fixed with only iron and bolt, and fully using exquisite woodworking technology. However, this bridge is the most unfortunate one in the world. The bridge was first built in 1673, and it was repeatedly collapsed by floods in the process of construction. After completion, it was destroyed by a typhoon in 1950. It was rebuilt in 1953, and then partially restored in 2001 and 2004. It still dominates the river.

features

It is a five hole stone pier wooden arch bridge with a span of 27.5 meters, a deck length of 210 meters (straight bridge length, total length of 193.3 meters), a width of 5 meters and a abutment height of 6.6 meters. It is connected by unique wood structure. This five hole wooden arch bridge was built by the then Lord Yoshikawa Guangjia imitating the shape of Hongqiao bridge on the Su dyke of West Lake in Hangzhou, China. The exquisite structure of Jindai bridge combines originality and rationality, which makes this five arch bridge tough and strong, like gentle waves, dancing out elegant rhythm. In addition, bridges, piers and riverbed footstones are all original, especially the arch structure. With short building materials to build a 35 meter long span arch bridge, its mechanical impeccable exquisite technology is amazing.

history

In history, bridges have been built on the Jinchuan River, which flows through Chengxia town for many times. However, when the river is running high, the rapids are beyond imagination, and the bridges are washed down again and again, which not only brings a lot of inconvenience to people's lives, but also is very dangerous. "Building an unbreakable bridge" is the wish of the third generation of vassal master Yoshikawa Guangjia. There are only two options to achieve this ideal: build a bridge without piers, or strengthen the piers as much as possible. He asked for advice from the ape bridge on Guichuan River in Jiazhou street. However, there is a big gap between the 30 meter wide Guichuan River and the 200 meter wide Jinchuan River in scale and water potential, which is almost difficult to overcome in technology. At that time, guangjiagong was weak and sick, and was being treated by a Ming Dynasty naturalized monk named "independence" with excellent medical skills. Originally deeply interested in the culture of Ming Dynasty, he was deeply inspired by the illustration of "Su dike" in the book, which connects the small islands on the lake with stone bridges. Therefore, it is decided to build island shaped piers in Jinchuan River and connect them with arch bridges with strong structure. After several attempts and failures, in 1673, the famous bridge, which combines the essence of fortification and wood technology, was built.

evaluate

Jindai bridge ranks first among the three famous bridges in Japan and is known as "Jindai bridge" because of its scenery. Not only is the wooden bridge beautiful here, but the scenery on both sides is also very beautiful. When spring comes, cherry blossoms are full of trees. At the end of Jindai bridge, there is a very thick cherry tree, which is said to be the standard cherry tree in Japan. As soon as its flowers bloom, it announces the arrival of Japanese spring.

Hangzhou Jindai Bridge

brief introduction

There are three bridges on the white dyke of West Lake in Hangzhou. One is the broken bridge in the East, which is very famous. The other is the Xiling bridge in the west, which is also very famous. The one near the broken bridge in the middle is the Jindai bridge. In fact, the scenery of the Jindai bridge is no less than that of the broken bridge, because standing on the Jindai bridge, you can see the lake from the left,

On the right side of the lake, you can also see the terrace of Pinghu in autumn. On the other hand, the isolated mountain is just around the corner. The green trees cover the terrace, and the lotus fragrance is intoxicating in summer.

origin

Why is this bridge called Jindai? There is also a history. It turns out that Baidi area was called shijintang in ancient times. According to the dream of the West Lake, the dike is two Zhang wide, and peach willows are planted everywhere, just like the Su dike. As time goes by, the trees embrace each other. Under the line, the branches and leaves are strong, the moonlight is leaking, broken like snow, and the intention is to say "broken bridge and snow" or the shadow of the moon Small boats can enter the inner lake, while large boats can be moved by the dike. The pavilion runs from Jindai bridge to Wanghu Pavilion, which is at the end of Shijin pond. Approaching the isolated mountain, the lake is spacious. According to the records of the West Lake, Jindai bridge is located in shijintang, where the beams are made of wood. Emperor Kangxi (Emperor Kangxi) was lucky to be alone in the mountain, so the Royal boat turned into the lake. The stone was used in the back of the boat, and the bridge was as flat as a belt It can be seen that the name of Jindai bridge comes from the fact that the bridge is located in shijintang, and that the bridge is as flat as a belt after the stone bridge is rebuilt. Bai Juyi called Baisha dyke "grass green skirt waist a slant", this bridge is like a ribbon tied on the skirt waist, adding luster to Xizi. Wang Shugao's poem "shijingtang" says: it cuts across the ten mile sky of Pinghu Lake, and Jinqiao connects with Liuqiao in spring. Fragrant forest flowers, thousands of trees, broken shore light points on two rivers. Several times the cup flies to the outside of the dike, and the boat is in the mirror. Who knows the power of spectacle decoration? There should be songs orchestrated. The broken bridge is a little far from the sixth bridge of SUDI, and the Jindai bridge is close to Xiling and the sixth bridge, so it is said that "Jinqiao meets the sixth bridge in spring". Xu Chengzu of the Qing Dynasty wrote a poem about Jindai bridge in his "West Lake Fishing Song": the scenery of the mountain is half fuzzy, and the Jindai bridge is flat into the painting. About the predecessor of the fisherman, a pole two oars accounted for the West Lake. Jindai bridge, formerly known as Bihan bridge, is not as famous as Duanqiao bridge, but it has a moving taste. The best part of Jindai bridge is connected by a bridge on the west lake inside and outside. The blue waves are connected, but there are differences between inside and outside. The boat passes through the bridge hole, from the vast expanse of blue waves gradually into the deep lotus roots, and the water and sky turn into a red boat. That fresh, that warm, let people feel the vitality between heaven and earth. If on a drizzly day, the raindrops like pearls will knock on the awning of the cruise ship like "big pearls and small pearls falling on the jade plate", it will be more interesting to "listen to the rain and sleep by the Jindai bridge".
