Custom of crossing the bridge

As an inseparable part of people's lives, bridges often combine folk customs to express people's yearning for a better life and their pure and kind wishes. In the past, every Spring Festival, Beijingers "hit a nail on the bridge"-touching the bronze doornail on the gate of the Forbidden City; Southerners "cross the bridge to eliminate disasters and pray." There are 15 small rivers and 49 small bridges in Tongli, Wujiang Water Town, Jiangsu Province. Among them, Taiping Bridge, Geely Bridge and cheung tsing bridge are arranged in a zigzag pattern. People regard them as "auspicious bridges". Children are full moon, young people get married, old people are over 66 and so on. They all have to take the third bridge. The local people said, "If you walk across the Taiping Bridge, you will be healthy all year round. After crossing the Geely Bridge, business is booming. After cheung tsing bridge, youth will stay and never grow old. There is a Taipo Bridge in Longmen Town, Fuyang County. There are big trees in the southeast of the bridge, which are green all year round.
