What does the collapse of London Bridge mean?

"London bridge is falling down" is a very well-known traditional nursery rhyme from "Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes". They are definitely not like everyone's impression of nursery rhymes, which are full of childlike fun and warmth. These ancient and cruel nursery rhymes can be traced back to the historical background and social and cultural features of the time. Through the dark side of nursery rhymes, modern people can better understand history.

It was originally a Norwegian military song. The British adapted the original melody and modified the lyrics and sung it into a folk song. Because the melody was simple and easy to remember, children could also sing it. Later, it was combined with games and gradually became a children's song.

The Norwegian army compiled a song "London bridge is?broken?down" to celebrate the victory. Later, the British adapted the original melody and modified the lyrics into a folk song.

London Bridge is the oldest bridge on the Thames River, built in 965 AD. The first London Bridge was a wooden structure that existed during the Roman period two thousand years ago (50AD). However, this bridge was short-lived and was destroyed by war five years later.

The second bridge was built of bricks and was demolished in 1014 by Olaf, the Viking king who invaded England. The purpose was to split Britain in two and block traffic between the two places. This song is said to have started to spread at that time. Two centuries later it was changed to a stone bridge. The modern London Bridge is already the third reconstructed version. It was completed in 1973. In fact, it just uses the same name at the same location.
