The first time we met, at the hotel.
Surprised, so beautiful?
I remember her name: Consecrated Bridge.
I have seen covered bridges, all kinds of covered bridges, but I have never seen a bridge with a tower in the middle.
Antique and full of ancient meaning.
Ask the waiter, how far is the bridge on the wall from here? How long does it take to walk there?
The waiter said it would take about 40 minutes to walk there.
time is a little tight.
From dawn until the team sets off, we have 2 hours at our disposal. It takes 40 minutes to go, 40 minutes to return, and another 30 minutes for breakfast. There is only 10 minutes left for taking pictures.
By coincidence, as soon as I walked out of the hotel door, I saw a car approaching. He raised his hand and stopped.
There is someone in the back seat.
Can taxis be shared here?
The driver motioned for me to sit in the position of the co-pilot and put the camera bag in the back seat.
How can this work? Don't say that bags are not safe and people are not safe either.
Who knows who is sitting in the back row?
I switched seats with the person in the back row.
Halfway through, the man got off the car.
Soon, I also arrived at the Consecrated Bridge.
Zhusheng Bridge was originally named Xiqiao and Wuxi Bridge, and is commonly known as Laoqiao and Laodaqiao.
The second year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1369) Construction began, but was interrupted soon after.
It was rebuilt in the 37th year of Wanli and was not completed until the first year of Chongzhen.
After it collapsed and was repaired many times, the last time The bridge was restored on the birthday of Emperor Kangxi, so it was renamed Zhusheng Bridge.
It is obvious that Wuyang River is under the bridge, so why did it become Wuxi River?
Let's first look at the couplet on the pavilion: "Sweeping away the smoke from the five streams, the Han sent out the floating chariot poles; opening up a heavy post road, the Burmese came across the bridge on elephants." Horizontal comment: "Heshan Pillar" .
This was written by Wang Bingao, the prefect of Zhenyuan during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty.
The "Five Streams" are mentioned in the couplet.
Li Bai also mentioned "Five Streams" in his poem "I heard that Wang Changling moved to the left and Long Biaoyuan sent this message".
"When all the poplar flowers have fallen, the son cries, I hear the dragon marking the way across the Five Streams.
I send my sorrowful heart to the bright moon, and follow the wind to the west of the night. "
Which Wuxi?
Chenxi, Youxi, Wuxi, Wuxi and Yuanxi at the junction of Guizhou and Hunan.
Wuxi is Wuyang River, also called Wuxi.
Is the Yelang mentioned in Li Bai's poem "Yelang arrogant"?
That's right, in ancient times, when traveling from Xiangchu to Yelang Kingdom, one had to leave the boat and land here.
On the other hand, go to Hunan, enter the Central Plains, and get on the boat here.
Zhenyuan is the intersection of land and water.
There are still 12 ancient piers.
The Consecration Bridge is also related to Zhang Sanfeng.
The world's best master , the founder of the Wudang Sect, Zhang Sanfeng?
That's right.
It is said that there were difficulties in building the bridge that year. The mud was too thick and it was impossible to dig to the bottom.
Zhang Sanfeng sprinkled some tofu in each foot pit at night.
The next day, everyone came to the construction site and saw that the bottom of the pit was full of large bluestones.
People built bridge piers on big bluestones, which are very stable.
It’s been 652 years, and the bridge piers are still the same as they were back then.
Although Zhang Sanfeng used tofu as a foundation, it is not a shoddy project.
Did Jin Yong write it in "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon"?
There is also a sword hanging under the central bridge hole of the Consecration Bridge, called the Dragon Sword.
When the flood comes, the sword will automatically fly out to kill the demonic dragon causing trouble.
Legend has it that two of them have flown out, so the one in front of me is the only one left.
The architecture on the bridge is very special.
Triple eaves, bucket style.
It has an octagonal tip and a green tube tile roof.
It looks like a tower from a distance, and looks like a pavilion up close.
The official name is "Kui Xing Pavilion", also known as "Zhuangyuan Tower".
There is another story.
It is said that this building was originally called "Wind and Rain Pavilion". Liu Bowen, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, came to inspect it and sighed: "God has given us Feng Shui, but we have set up obstacles on our own. No wonder there is no outstanding student in Guizhou!"
Then it was renamed "Kui Xing Pavilion".
Soon, Guizhou produced its first champion.
What's even more surprising is that Liu Bowen also painted a painting of "Kui Xing raised his pen to point the bronze crane head" and ordered the prefect to make a statue of it.
Later, the number one scholar was named Xia and his given name was "Tonghe".
God!
After that, Guizhou produced many champions.
Therefore, the common people call " Kuixing Pavilion" "Zhuangyuan Tower" .
On this side of the bridge is Qinglong Cave, where there is the Sutra Collection Building of Zhongyuan Chanyuan.
There is a sculpture of a Burmese riding an elephant on the other side of the bridge.
Back then, the Burmese caravan passed by the bridge on elephants. What a spectacular scene!
Send a drone to fly up to see the green tube tile roof of Kuixing Pavilion.
Take a look at the place where Shezhou landed when we went to Yelang.
Take a look at the neighbors of the Consecrated Bridge.
7 holes, but not a seven-hole bridge, but a new bridge.
The neighbor here is Qinglong Bridge.
They are not of the same generation as Zhusheng Bridge.
The clouds are coming.
Was it caused by Qinglong?
The two bridges are not far apart, and the clouds and mist will soon arrive.
When the clouds arrive, the rain is not far away.
Get out quickly.
Farewell to the bronze man beside the bridge.
I didn’t have time to eat the tofu curd made by your family.
Hurry across the bridge.
The buildings here are very unique.
If there are no taxis, just take the bus.
What should I do if I don’t have any change?
You can pay via WeChat.
Very good!
At the station, there were girls from ethnic minority groups seeing each other off.
In the afternoon, along with the large troops, we returned to the Consecrated Bridge.
In Kuixing Pavilion, you can see Qinglong Cave in the distance.
On the upper floor of the Sutra Library, overlooking the Consecrated Bridge.
Blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green water.
The angle is still limited, and the bridge and the pavilions blend into the background.
It's useless no matter how high you climb.
Even when I ran to the other side to take photos, it was still the same.
How can a drone be so free?
No matter which angle you want to shoot, just fly lightly.
If you want to put your pavilion in the water, put it in the water.
This photo can only be taken by a drone.
In the middle of the water, there is a certain height.
No one can arrive.
The ship cannot reach this height.
But there are flower window lattice in Qinglong Cave.
Window frames can be used as mirror frames.
Ancient buildings can be used as the foreground.
The dragon boat is coming!
I’ve already used a wide-angle lens, so here’s a super wide-angle lens.
Please look horizontally:
