China traditional stone wall pattern

Zhao Zhouqiao is actually made entirely of pure stone. The reason why we can build such a strong stone bridge with pure stone is because the wisdom of the ancients is very fierce. They thought of a structural method called waist iron, which can make the stones form a close combination, thus increasing the friction between stones, and finally formed the Zhao Zhouqiao we see now, but the Zhao Zhouqiao we see now is not the original bridge, because Zhao Zhouqiao has a long history and has been destroyed many times in the long river of history.

Since childhood, we have learned about Zhao Zhouqiao from primary school Chinese textbooks. Zhao Zhouqiao is an ancient stone bridge, which is famous for its unique construction method and fascinating history and culture. Zhao Zhouqiao is located in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, China. The local area is also named after Zhao Zhouqiao. Zhao Zhouqiao has a long history. According to scientific investigation, Zhao Zhouqiao was probably newly built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with a history of thousands of years. Although the whole engineering quantity in Zhao Zhouqiao is not very large, the construction technology embodied in this bridge is indeed very complicated.

Because we found a unique architectural structure from this stone bridge, which is called arch room. As the name implies, his whole bridge is arched. In addition, there are four holes under the Zhao Zhouqiao Bridge. These four holes not only have the function of aesthetic decoration, but also have the function of flood control and drainage, because when the flood rises, the flood can flow out along these holes, which shows that the whole design of Zhao Zhouqiao is very good.

Zhao Zhouqiao has been destroyed many times in history, so it has been improved and restored many times. The closest time to today's society is at 1956. Under the organization of the National Government at that time, Zhao Zhouqiao was renovated again, so we are now going to Zhao Zhouqiao. We will find that Zhao Zhouqiao is very bright.
