Brief introduction of Baoji corridor bridge

Baoji 1 Covered Bridge "This city is an open book, from which we can see her ambition." On the eve of the 63rd birthday of New China, Baoji's new landmark-Dongling Shigushan Covered Bridge will unveil her mystery.

Dongling Shigushan Covered Bridge spans the Weihe River and is located in the center of Baoji, with Shigushan in the south and Dongling in the north. On the 684-meter-long main building, classical architecture and modern technology are perfectly integrated. This covered bridge, which integrates elements such as urban civilization and future ideals, has become a major landscape of our city before it came out.

A bridge bearing Baoji's unique cultural symbols

There is no doubt that this bridge is unique among many bridges in our city. This bridge is not only a bridge in geographical sense, but also a unique cultural symbol, the most distinctive carrier of Baoji culture, which has surpassed the significance of the bridge itself.

When it comes to Paris, people naturally think of the Eiffel Tower. Speaking of Beijing, we can't help but say "Bird's Nest" (National Stadium). These most distinctive landmark buildings have almost become the "symbols" of a city. Baoji, as a sub-central city in Guantian planning, how to show our characteristic culture in the construction has also become a topic for urban builders.

Baoji is the birthplace of Jiangyan culture and Zhou-Qin civilization. The ancient Silk Road and the modern cross-shaped railway hub also remind us of Baoji's unique position of "inheriting the past and opening up the west". Ren, director of the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics and Tourism, said that based on this, at the beginning of the design, the city highlighted the characteristics of "volume" and "communication" of the bridge. "At the beginning of the design of the covered bridge, we first established two concepts. First, don't pursue fashion, don't "aim too high". After all, height does not represent history, and greatness does not represent fraternity. The architectural concept of "aiming too high" will be "weathered" by time. On the contrary, the covered bridge, as a landmark building, pursues connotation and expressiveness, and the architectural features are integrated with local culture, so that it can have strong vitality. The second idea is the design of the bridge, which must have the actual traffic effect, so that local people and foreign tourists can feel close to the building, but also change the scenery and linger. Therefore, the covered bridge was finally located at the foot of Shigu Mountain, which not only integrated her with China Shigu Garden, but also produced a greater radiation effect, making up for the shortcomings of Baoji's urban traffic. " "Perhaps Dongling Shigushan Covered Bridge will not have many" China No.1 "or" World No.1 "like landmark buildings in other cities, but in terms of expressiveness, this covered bridge must be a unique cultural symbol of Baoji, which will make everyone who walks on the covered bridge remember Baoji, and this memory will not fade with time!" Ren said.

A Bridge Connecting Baoji with the Millennium Civilization History

As one of the top ten cultural quality projects built by the municipal party committee and municipal government, Dongling Shigushan covered bridge has made great efforts in "culture".

The stairs at the north and south ends of the covered bridge are mainly carved with auspicious welcoming patterns in the history of China, which means welcoming guests; Installation of 10 stone drum and 28 pieces of Baoji bronze carvings on the deck of the north approach bridge of the covered bridge; The guardrails on both sides are mainly Baoji poems and historical classics; The six corridors and six pavilions on the cultural corridor can be divided into five historical stages: the east half of the bridge deck sculpture takes the history of China as the main line, the west half takes the history of Baoji as the main line, and the chronological style is combined with the chronological style to advance in parallel. The first part is the origin of civilization, the second part is the dawn of Zhou and Qin Dynasties, the third part is the prosperous period of Han and Tang Dynasties, the fourth part is the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the fifth part is. At the same time, 1 156 exquisite China classical copperplate prints inlaid with the whole story of covered bridges add countless beautiful scenery.

"The culture displayed on the covered bridge began with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors and ended with the birth of New China. The time span is as long as 8,000 years, and the whole bridge has compiled more than 300,000 words and revised more than 65,438 times ... I have been engaged in the cultural industry for nearly 20 years, and my footprints are all over the country. This covered bridge is a well-deserved' cultural boutique'. " A staff member who built the covered bridge commented on the Dongling Shigushan Covered Bridge. Indeed, walking on the bridge is like crossing just visiting, and you will be amazed.

In my sleep, I was brought back to the thousand-year history of Baoji by the scenes in front of me.

A bridge that embodies Baoji's wisdom and innovative spirit

Dongling Shigushan Covered Bridge looks magnificent from a distance and exquisite in workmanship from a close look. However, have you ever thought that such a landmark building has no precedent in the architectural history of Baoji and even the whole country, and this covered bridge also embodies the wisdom and innovative spirit of Baoji people. "Without creativity, this covered bridge could not be as perfect as it is now," Zhang Junzhen, head of the Municipal River Commission, told reporters. In order to build this covered bridge, they consulted a lot of materials, hoping to find some reference from the construction of covered bridges all over the country, but they were all disappointed. The design of this covered bridge is different, that is to say, they have to explore and solve a series of problems in the construction.

Dongling Shigushan Covered Bridge spans the Weihe River, with five long-span bridges, and the span between each sub-bridge is 78.64 meters. This "five spans" has no precedent in the whole province. At present, Shaanxi Province has only used similar long-span construction in the renovation project of the square wall in front of An Railway Station, but it is only a "one-span", which cannot be compared with Baoji Covered Bridge in terms of construction difficulty. However, builders have solved many problems through precise design and bold innovation. The success of "five spans" has opened a new chapter in bridge construction in our city.

There is a cloud in the ancient poem: "Spring water crosses the stream bridge, and the soul is dying against the fence." Railings play a "finishing touch" role in antique buildings. At the beginning of the design, the railing of the covered bridge was designed as a stone railing. However, in the construction process, because the stone is too heavy, it is likely to threaten the safety of the bridge, which once worried the builders. Yan Jian, chief engineer of Shigushan Covered Bridge in Dongling, said: "After on-site consultation, we decided to use steel railings and spray real stone paint to solve this problem. After the completion of the railing project, the appearance is consistent with the stone railing, but the total weight is reduced by more than two thirds. This is an innovation. "

The 1 156 China classical copperplate inlaid on the covered bridge is an important highlight of the covered bridge. However, few people know how much effort these copperplate prints cost the builders. At the beginning of the design, the builders racked their brains to reproduce the "antique" charm of these famous classical paintings. Paper photo albums can't stand the wind and rain, stone carvings can't show the ancient style, and plastic photo albums run counter to the ancient style ... After a lot of selection, the builders finally decided to use etching technology to make copperplate prints, which not only retained the antique charm, but also withstood the wind and rain.

There are many innovative stories like this, and it is these innovations that have made Dongling Shigushan covered bridge beautiful.

A bridge to show the selfless dedication of Dongling culture

Dongling Shigushan Covered Bridge bears the enthusiasm of Baoji people and connects the North Shore and Shigushan Park into a natural whole. In this project of benefiting the city and the people, Dongling Group made selfless dedication, spent huge sums of money to complete the design and construction of the bridge, and contributed a cultural masterpiece to the people of the city. This not only shows the atmosphere and wisdom of Dongling people, but also makes the culture of an enterprise become the permanent memory of the city together with this bridge invisibly. This kind of dedicated city memory is precious.

Zhao Shulan, general manager of Dongling Group Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. told reporters that Dongling is willing to "transfuse blood" for Baoji's infrastructure construction for free. In fact, it has its own considerations. It was Baoji that gave birth to Dongling Group. Although the group has developed steadily year by year, Dongling people have never forgotten the "soil" where they grew up. Therefore, investing in the construction of covered bridges is the social responsibility of enterprises, which is determined by Dongling culture. At the same time, with this covered bridge, Dongling will become a permanent cultural symbol of the city. Whenever people set foot on the covered bridge, they will think of some practical things that Dongling Group has done for their hometown elders, which is undoubtedly the blessing of Dongling.

Dongling Shigushan Covered Bridge is a beautiful scenery, and it is also a great book to carry forward the cultural spirit of Baoji. What she brought to Baoji is not only a landmark building, but more importantly, it integrates the historical accumulation of Baoji for thousands of years and embodies the social responsibility of Baoji enterprises. While bringing us convenience and beauty, it also brings us a kind of reflection and enlightenment.

I first heard that the word covered bridge came from the title of a book, The Bridges of Madison County, which was a best-selling American novel in the 1990s. That book let me know that there is a kind of bridge in the world, called covered bridge. In order to further understand the covered bridge, I looked up Xinhua Dictionary and Modern Chinese Dictionary, but I didn't find the word covered bridge. Therefore, I have always thought that the covered bridge is probably a bridge only available abroad. Later, I learned from the Internet that covered bridges existed in ancient China, but they were all in Zhejiang and Fujian in the south. Covered bridge is a kind of covered bridge, which can not only protect the bridge, but also provide a shelter for people to rest, communicate and get together. Never thought that in 20 12, Baoji, a medium-sized city on the loess plateau in the northwest of China, also built a bridge named Shigu Cultural Covered Bridge on the Weihe River.

When the covered bridge was built, I heard that it was a sightseeing bridge, so I thought it was a bridge with a view. People can enjoy walking on the bridge, watching the surging Weihe River under the bridge, watching the greening on both sides of the bridge, breathing fresh air, watching the Shigu Mountain on the south side of the bridge, watching the endless traffic on the expressway and watching the tall buildings. I never thought that it could be a corridor carrying history and culture.

Baoji Covered Bridge is connected to Shigu Mountain, a scenic spot in the south, and to the high-rise buildings of Dongling Real Estate in the north. It is magnificent, simple and elegant, and combines the perfection of ancient architecture and modern technology. During the day, the bridge with blue-gray as the main color looks as simple as coming from ancient times. However, at night, it is as bright as the Milky Way.

As soon as I stepped on the bridge, I felt that my eyes and brain were not enough. This bridge shows too rich and heavy content.

The stairs at the north and south ends of the covered bridge are mainly carved with auspicious welcoming patterns in the history of China. The patterns are profound and exquisite, which makes people relaxed and happy. Such as: Happy New Year, Peach Blossom Birthday, Cai Feng Xiangyun, Sanyang Kaitai Shoushan Fuhai. In the north approach of the covered bridge, the words "Shigu Cultural Covered Bridge" are engraved on the guardrail, pointing out that this is not an ordinary bridge. The bridge deck is equipped with 10 stone drums and 28 pieces of Baoji bronze stone carvings; On the east side of the approach bridge, there are 38 written records about Zhou and Qin culture in historical classics, and on the west side, there are 38 poems and songs praising Chen Cang's hometown. 1 156 exquisite China classical copperplate prints inlaid with covered bridges add countless beautiful scenery. The ground sculpture runs through the north and south of the covered bridge, starting with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and finally the birth of New China, which spans thousands of years. The east half of the bridge deck sculpture takes the history of China as the main line, and the west half takes the history of Baoji as the main line. Chronology and chronicle are combined into one and promoted in parallel. Walking on the bridge is like crossing just visiting. People are unconsciously brought back to the Millennium beacon smoke of Baoji by the patterns in front of them. Every visitor walking on the covered bridge is amazed and amazed!

Speaking of this covered bridge in Baoji, we have to talk about Baoji Dongling Group, which invested 80 million yuan to build this bridge. Such boldness of vision cannot be achieved without strong economic strength. It is impossible to have economic strength without the concept of benefiting the people, patriotism and loving the hometown.

More than 20 years ago, a poor and backward village group with only dozens of families, after more than 20 years of efforts, became the top ten village with national economic development, rich villagers and beautiful environment, and the first village in Shaanxi.

A small workshop with only seven or eight employees and several thousand yuan of fixed assets has become a top 500 enterprise in China with18,000 employees, total assets of more than 22 billion and total income of more than 30 billion after more than 20 years' efforts. This is a miracle, like a fairy tale, which really appears in front of people.

Some people say that this is a bridge to inherit Baoji's wisdom and innovative spirit. I think it's a bridge to love my family, my country and my people. Weather, geographical location and people make it.

This is the glory of Dongling Group, the blessing of Baoji people and the glory of Baoji. This is a good thing for future generations.

Dongling-covered bridge, covered bridge-Dongling is always inseparable in people's minds.
