Sunset under the Marco Polo Bridge
(Sun and Moon Tan)
Singer Cai Guoqing brigade has a main song is called "Beijing's Bridge", in the Spring Festival Gala on the sing is booming, the country that people like my father did not like pop music, have loved this song. Travel to Beijing, I am most like to see the scenery, indeed it is this bridge in Beijing. Beijing's bridge is really strange things, like the Summer Palace, Kunming Lake to "Sai 6 Bridge", one of the Jade Belt Bridge, the arch high and thin, smooth, slim curve. Bridge Qiaolan are green and white marble Diaoqi Whitehead, and like a plate of curved jade belt, there is a graceful the flatter the United States. And Kyoto, the Marco Polo Bridge on the south-west of the Yongding River, then concise Wei-Leng Jun, there is a desolate beauty.
The Marco Polo Bridge in Beijing, Fengtai District, about 15 kilometers southwest of the Yongding River. Beijing's oldest stone arch bridge together. The Yongding River, formerly known as Lu ditch, the bridge gets its name because of river. Was built in the Jin Dynasty Dading years, the Marco Polo Bridge, after the river diversion and flood damage has repeatedly rebuilt, and now able to see the Marco Polo Bridge is a thirty-seven years of Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi (1698) re-built. The Marco Polo Bridge near 270 meters long, 7.5 meters wide, the following separation of 11-han holes. My dad is in the early spring evening in a fiery sunset of the day, set foot on this school expansive slate of Bridgestone's.
When I took this ancient bridge, I think that perhaps she is very lonely when the bridge. In addition to access to the local villagers Wanping city, the visitors had been scattered, such as woven, a small street vendor hawking jade calligraphy began to organize decorations, began leaving. At this point, only deck both sides of the stone fence of the hundred forty I hope the root column, it stands a gesture of varying the size of 485 stone lions still vivid trance to counting on us. A desolation, an ancient wisdom of life. Eastward along the western end of the bridge to the first scattered around, stone paved deck features a move forward as if stretching. That bridge was extended to the straight road before with the Wanping county, and the walls together. Tablets pavilions in the eastern end of the bridge, legislation written by Emperor Qianlong of Qing dynasty, "Lugouxiaoyue," the word of the white marble monument, this is old Yenching one of the eight landscape. That Marco Polo Bridge despite rebuilt again for contemporary people, but in the Marco Polo Bridge on the bridge is extremely rich in human values of creativity is to retain the old section of Old Bridge Canbai stone path.
When I look back, this specially preserved the old landscape, the setting sun spot mottled with lighter obviously secretly at the end of lying still, almost like a huge exclamation point. Although this bridge the "Lu ditch" because the dry season became a bare loess bed; despite rising from Aria of the time in the locust tree shoot shoot too early. However, just because this can keep down the stone road, enough to make me see will want to return I could not help stop the mental state. I think that part of the ancient stone road, after several hundred years of what kind of wind and rain washing through as countless amounts bustling hub of wheel spokes traveling rolling, Mojiancabei passing of the stampede, it has become in front of proposed projects: the level of Ming eliminate bumps and hollows The rugged-like, even the corner stone materials have been grinding their heavy loss of front edges.
This makes people think of ancient times who cited slurry flow of cars sold each day at dusk and off at this shout to catch a ox-cart out of the city to go home; make people think about the evening then westerly Lie Lie, "a passing carriage, Ma Xiao Xiao pedestrians arrows on each waist, "the expedition map; more people think about the contemporary history of the Japanese imperialists launched the war of aggression on this page. Wanping city 60 years ago, the Chinese Garrison, in this Qing Shiqiao head erect street barricade to resist the Japanese, lit the fire raging anti-Japanese war. It is this historical picture, making this ancient Beijing's old stone bridge, is even more dramatic, towering flames, such as ... ... a sunset camel, golden shining, ancient bridge in Beijing the number of brilliant stories to recount to me ah.
