Introduction to Taishun Corridor Bridge: Taishun is a mountainous area in southern Zhejiang Province. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. There are 179 peaks over 1,000 meters tall. Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying of "nine mountains, half water and half farmland". It is said that in history, many celebrities and wise men moved to this inaccessible place one after another in order to avoid disasters. Many cultures merged together to form a unique mountainous pastoral culture, and the covered bridge in Taishun is a window into Taishun culture. As the name suggests, "covered bridge" is a bridge with eaves. Historically, Taishun had scattered villages and remote transportation. When people go out and walk for more than ten miles, it is difficult to see any human beings. According to the "traffic plan" of the ancestors of Taishun, a wind and rain pavilion for people to rest should be built next to the main road (stone road) separated by a certain mileage. The eaves built on the bridge can not only protect the wooden bridge from the sun and rain, but also function as a weather pavilion. Some covered bridges also have rooms for temporary residence. There are more than 30 well-preserved wooden arcade bridges from the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties in Taishun. Their large number, skillful craftsmanship, beauty of shape and harmony with the surrounding environment are unique in the history of world bridges. , is a reproduction of the structure of the Hongqiao in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". The covered bridges are embedded in the mountains like treasures, attracting the attention of domestic and foreign experts, and also ushering in the boom of Taishun covered bridge tourism.
