Sculpture introduction: The reconstructed Bei'an Bridge not only takes into account the profound historical and cultural background of both sides of the Haihe River, but also combines the structural form of the original bridge. It also draws on the Western classical architectural style of the Alexandre III Bridge in Paris, France. The Bei'an Bridge bridgehead sculptures adopt the Western classical style, including the four bridgehead statues of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu, which symbolize peace in the east, south, west and north, the bronze embossed "Pailing Dragon" bridge pier statue and the bridge railings There are four statues of "musical girls" dancing in different postures on the base of the pillar. Among them, the four bronze "musical girls" are about 2.8 meters tall, each holding four different musical instruments in their hands: ruan, panpipe, pipa, and sheng, striving to highlight the Chinese classical charm; the two coiled dragon sculptures adopt Chinese and Western styles. In a combined style, the dragon head, dragon body and dragon claws are all golden, and they are respectively entrenched on both sides of the bridge on the upper and lower reaches of the Haihe River, as if rising from the water, lifelike.
