Bazi Bridge Review

The structure of the eight-character bridge is a stone beam bridge, built at the confluence of three rivers, composed of the main bridge and the auxiliary bridge, with a total of 4 sets of steps.[1] It is designed for the four-way slope of the three-street three-he river crossing. The east of the bridge is the south and the north slope, which is the eight-character shape. The west of the bridge is the west and the south slope. The south-facing two-drop slope at the two ends of the bridge is also in an eight-character shape.[5] The eight-character bridge is one of the symbols of Shaoxing's history and culture. [6] The structure of the eight-character bridge is simple and the building is stable, reflecting the maturity of bridge construction technology in Shaoxing area of the Southern Song Dynasty, and is an important physical example of the study of bridge construction technology and the history of Chinese bridges in the Song Dynasty.

Shaoxing Bazi Bridge is a shorthand for the Bazi Bridge Block, which was built in the Southern Song Dynasty. The two bridges are opposite and inclined, like the Bazi Bridge, so they are named. Not only that, but also, it is particularly worth mentioning that Shaoxing Bazi Bridge is also part of the United Nations World Heritage Site "Grand Canal".

Shaoxing eight-character bridge, built in the Southern Song Dynasty. The two bridges are opposite and inclined, like eight-character, so they are named. It is currently part of the United Nations World Heritage "Grand Canal". The eight-character bridge is a stone beam structure built at the confluence of three rivers, consisting of the main bridge and the auxiliary bridge. Its design conforms to the existing street, housing and other layouts in Shaoxing City, making good use of terrain, not demolishing houses, not changing streets, which can solve traffic problems and will not build civil buildings in the city. Because the eight-character bridge is built at the confluence of three waters and is like eight-character, it is also called "ancient overpass". The real value of the bridge lies in its own structure and the clever conception of the creator, which is the peak production of bridge design and construction in the two Song Dynasty.

Eight-way Bridge: Shaoxing is really a small bridge with flowing families and beautiful scenery step by step. Look at the two protagonists in the picture. You wash the pot, brush the spittoon, and drink the same river. Why do you divide me from him? It's a pity that we can't go up and shoot.

Walk around and there are local residents. There are clear signs on the trails. I really can't find anyone to ask the residents. Oh, a little more is Longhua Temple. We can take a look along the road together

Bazi Bridge is actually an old living area in Shaoxing. There is no development, it is the most traditional Shaoxing residential area. But it is named because of the stone bridge in the eight characters. There are few tourists here, very quiet, or very lifelike. In the afternoon, through the alleys of the Baziqiao block, you can see only the old women with their heads down and the old men sitting around playing cards. Occasionally, there will be puppies passing by, and the cats will look at you lazily in the shade of trees. This is Shaoxing City, without the strong smell of dried plum vegetables and stinky tofu in the scenic area, and some are the most rustic taste of life.
