Rainbow flying down Wugang Bridge

According to the records of Ningbo Government in Jiajing of Ming Dynasty, Wugang bridge was built in 1464, which was funded by Dai Hao, a famous Dai family in huanggulin and the magistrate of Ningbo. In the 15th year of Jiajing (1536 AD), it was rebuilt by Dai Ao, one of the Dai's famous families, and renamed "Zishan bridge", which has the same name as the Zishan concept across the river. Tongzhi eight years (AD 1869) repair, bridge name is still changed to Wugang bridge.

The Wugang bridge in Xixiang is 20 meters long and 3 meters wide, with three semicircular spans of 6 meters, side spans of 4 meters and arched arrows of 3 meters away from the water. A pair of Zhenshui Aotou is carved on both sides of the bridge, and the bridge forehead of "Wugang bridge" is carved on the top of the middle span, which has been inscribed with the name "renovated in eight years of Tongzhi". So far, it has experienced more than 130 colds and heats.

The most eye-catching thing is that on the bridge deck of Wugang bridge, there are two stone lions about 1 meter long on each side of the bridge, shaking their heads and wagging their tails. The two side railings of the 18 steps on the bridge are made into feldspar chairs with backrests, so the bridge can be used to discuss the past, the present and the world between morning and dusk. Such a thoughtful special design is also the characteristic of Wugang bridge in yinxixi township!

This Wugang bridge with three round holes is located at the end of the South Street of jingulin town.

The "five ports" of the five port bridges are Ningbo and Lishe in the East, Dongqiao and Yinjiang in the south, Shenjiao and Hengjie in the west, and jishigang and Gaoqiao in the north. Wugang bridge is not only the center of water network, but also a land channel connecting the hinterland of Yinxi water network, becoming the center of Yinxi township. The two bridge couplets engraved on Wugang bridge tell us the beauty of bridge and water

Dongzhu Third Ring Road, Yueyin circle, and the river is divided into five channels.

Gulin Jiushi Bridge

In Gulin old street, the nine lions in different shapes carved on the nine lions bridge are famous for their vivid craftsmanship. It lies in front of the gate of huanggonglin temple. It is named for the nine stone lions lying on the bridge. It was originally called huanggulin bridge. It looks like a rainbow falling from nine days, crossing the north and South streets.

Jiushi bridge was rebuilt in 1787 (the 52nd year of the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty). It is 15 meters in length and 3.1 meters in width. The two ends of the bridge are divided into 9 levels. The left and right hurdles are semicircular and 62 cm high. Because the bridge gate was too narrow, it was rebuilt to 3.5 meters wide in the cultural revolution. In order to maintain its beauty, the bridge railing and bridge deck were removed from the daijiacha Lake Bridge and moved as a whole. There are four square pillars 79 cm high and 39 cm wide on the piers, which are respectively equipped with four stone lions with different shapes and fine carvings. Among them, there are five small stone lions with different expressions, such as crouching back, dragging tail, winding waist, holding head high and holding feet. There are two sides along the bridge fence. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, it is still powerful.
