on the north side of Ji'nan Industrial South Road, there is a village called Jiang Jia village, belong to the Yao's street in the calendar. In the eastern part of the village, there is still a stone arch bridge in Ming Dynasty. The bridge is well preserved, and it also plays its role. Unfortunately, such a long historic bridge is not a cultural insurance unit. Because of the demolition of nearby villages, its fate is uncertain.
stone arch bridge was built in Longqing two years
in the morning of December 17th, and the reporter found the ancient bridge named Jinyang bridge. This is a stone arch bridge with a single hole, erected on a North South trending channel. Looking at the bridge deck of Jinyang bridge, it is a neat neat stone paved. After hundreds of years of wheel rolling and pedestrian trampling, many stones have been polished very brightly, and some of them are also uneven.
reporter roughly measured, the length of the bridge is about 20 meters, and the width is about 4 meters. The bridge is about 5 meters tall, the height of the bridge is about 4 meters, and the stone arch bridge span is about 7 meters. The bridge and bridge are made of large pieces of green stone and green slab. The longest stone is about 2.5 meters long, with a thickness of about 40 centimeters.
each side of the stone bridge is located near the bridge. Reporters carefully watched, one side for the creation of tablets, one for the good people. According to the inscription, the Jinyang bridge was founded in the two year (1568) of Daming Longqing. It was built by the gentry of the nearby village to jointly sponsor the villagers. The inscription on the tablet is blurred, and the inscription of the good man is quite clear. It clearly records the simple experience of the bridge.

this bridge still walks through tank
our village has 500 years ago, and the nearby villages have been walking this bridge. Zhang Jianxiang, a 57 year old Jiang Jia village villager, said that in 60s and 70s of the last century, when the liberation army was in great force, the bridge also passed the small tanks and military vehicles of the PLA. Right now, the bridge is still the main access from east to Jiang Jia Zhuang. From time to time, small cars pass through the bridge.
about the reason for building the bridge, Zhang Jianxiang provided another legend. It is said that an oil seller from a nearby village came to the village to sell oil, and ran through the small ditch when he accidentally got tied up by a stake. The oil merchant would dig out the stumps and dig out ten gold rake teeth. He repaired the bridge with the money he bought from the gold rake.
this small gully is a drain ditch that flows down the South and passes through the Xiaoqing River in the north. A few decades ago, when a flood of water reached the water beast, our village would be flooded. Another middle-aged woman said, 50 meters away from the west side of the bridge, there was a jade emperor temple. It had a statue in it. Unfortunately, it was destroyed during the cultural revolution. Now only two stone lions are left.
the ancient bridge is a historical fossil
Jinyang bridge is a relatively rare stone arch bridge in the suburbs of Ji'nan, which has clearly built the age of the Ming Dynasty. Today, it is still not a level of cultural protection units, it is really a pity. Huang Peng, a famous folk archaeological enthusiast who knows the situation in Ji'nan, says the bridge has witnessed the historical changes from ancient times to the past few hundred years.
Jinyang bridge has not only carried ancient sedan chairs and wooden wheeled vehicles, but also modern military vehicles and tanks, as well as people coming and going in different periods. Now it also carries a modern car, a living fossil that bears witness to the vicissitudes of history. It is regrettable that such an ancient bridge did not contain any cultural insurance signs at the scene. The reporter verified that in the directory of Ji'nan's cultural relics protection units announced by the official website of Ji'nan Wen GUANG new Bureau, the bridge was not found.
I am more worried about the development and demolition of the area. If the bridge is to be demolished at that time, it will be irreparable. Huang Peng said he hoped that the cultural relics department would incorporate the bridge into cultural relics protection units as soon as possible, and carry out reasonable and effective protection.
