"Grandpa, then this bridge looks a little old, was it built before liberation or when was it?" Ye Ziqi asked.

"But it's not just this time, I heard that this Shuanglong Bridge was built in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the horse team that walked the Ancient Tea Horse Road had to pass through here and go all the way to XC.

By the way, I remember that there used to be a stone tablet next to it, and there was some text on it, but it was a little blurred, and then it seemed to be used to pave the road. ”

As he spoke, my grandfather looked to the side, and soon pointed to a large bluestone in the middle of the path, about two meters long and one meter five wide, built in a gap, and the stone was as thick as thirty or forty centimeters at the edges.

"Is this big stone the memorial monument for building the bridge?" Ye Ziqi stepped forward to look at it carefully, and sure enough, he found that there were some words on the big bluestone, but it was just some mud, and it was not clear to see.

However, during the leaf period, he found that there were several relatively clear words in the lower left corner of the big bluestone, which was the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, which shocked him after seeing it, which must not be hundreds of years.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the big stone you see now is actually a memorial monument of this Shuanglong Bridge, which was originally erected at the head of the bridge, and was later used to pave the road to fill this gap.

Now there is so much soil on it, I can't see the content of the inscription clearly, but if you look at this position, it should be the location of the payment, but there is a relatively clear text.

The first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty was 1402, and it has been 618 years since then, which means that the history of this Shuanglong Bridge has been more than 600 years, which is too shocking. ”

Ye Ziqi was indeed quite shocked in his heart, he came to the Shuanglong Bridge again, pointed the camera at the two dragon head stone sculptures, and found a large close-up of them, especially at the large round ball inside the dragon's mouth.

"Have you seen these two dragon head stone carvings, which were carved by skilled craftsmen more than 600 years ago, and the most amazing thing is the stone ball in the dragon's mouth, which can be rotated.

It's not too early, we're going back to make lunch, and now I'm interested in Longqiao, so I've decided to come back here after lunch, and at the same time clean up the text on the stele to see what is written.

In addition, there are so many dragon bridges in our L county, and there are a few in our happy village, and there is a dragon lantern bridge not far from my house. ”

After Ye Ziqi agreed with everyone on the time of the live broadcast in the afternoon, he half of the live broadcast and began to return to his grandfather's house, but he did not stop on the way: "Grandpa, is there any story about this Shuanglong Bridge?"

"I remember, when I was a child, I heard my grandfather tell me that it is said that the origin of this Shuanglong Bridge was made by two dragons.

Let's say yes, in the past, the river water here in Shuanglong Bridge was very fast, and there were often strong winds and waves, and many local people fell into the river and drowned.

Therefore, people said that the evil dragon in this river was specially guarded here to eat people, and the people within a radius of ten miles were very afraid, and everyone prayed to the heavens.

One day, the wind was blowing, the thunder and lightning were blowing, and people could hear the rumbling sound of the place when they were hiding in their homes, and there was a faint sound of a dragon's roar.

A bold young man secretly ran to the nearby hillside to look, and saw a white dragon and a green dragon fighting in the river, and the water was as high as several zhang, and the thunder and lightning and the wind in the sky were attracted by them.

In the end, the two dragons died together and turned into two dragon sculptures by the bridge, and since then the place has been peaceful, probably this is the story. "My grandfather is telling the story vividly.

"It's a longing for a peaceful life, but it's made into a beautiful story. Ye Ziqi secretly thought in his heart, there are so many dragon bridges in his hometown, can he make a series of works.

Of course, this series of works is not made to make money, but to promote the culture of the hometown, dragon culture, and one of the traditional cultures of the Chinese nation, because everyone is the descendant of the dragon.

The more excited he became, Ye Ziqi felt that this topic was promising, but he didn't know much about the dragon cultural resources in the county, and he didn't know how many dragon bridges there were in County D.

Ye Ziqi immediately thought of someone, Duan Yanmei, didn't she work in the county cultural bureau, she should know more about the resources of dragon culture and dragon bridge in the county, you can ask her for some information.

"Old classmate, are you busy now? Ye Ziqi immediately sent a voice message to Duan Yanmei.

"It's almost lunch, I'm already busy. If you have anything to say, don't be polite to me. Just a few seconds later, Duan Yanmei replied to him.

Ye Ziqi was a little weak-hearted, because Liu Xiaohui turned her head to look at him when she heard Duan Yanmei's voice, and there was a knowing smile on her face, and she immediately heard who this voice was.

"Ahem, that's the case, I want to find some information about the dragon culture and dragon bridge in our county, I don't know if it's convenient for you?" Ye Ziqi said straight to the topic.

"Oh, I have a lot of this on my computer. Our county is the hometown of Chinese dragon culture, and it is also one of the millennium G counties, there are not only a large number of dragon bridges in dragon culture, but also dragon dances and dragon carvings.

Wait a minute, I'll send you WeChat right away. By the way, do you want to study dragon culture?" asked Duan Yanmei as she introduced the situation.

"Today I was fishing by the river at my grandfather's house, and I found a Shuanglong Bridge, which was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years, so I suddenly became interested in the Dragon Bridge and wanted to make a series of works. Ye Ziqi said with a smile.

"Well, the dragon bridge culture of our county is famous in the whole country, there are more than 40 dragon bridges belonging to the Ming Dynasty, of which the long age is the dragon brain bridge, built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and there are eight dragon carvings on the bridge, all of which are preserved in a very complete state, and it is a national key cultural protection unit.

In addition, at present, we have registered a relatively well-preserved dragon bridge, including the Shuanglong Bridge you said, in addition to our county has a dragon bridge expert Zhang Feiyun teacher, he has been shooting dragon bridges for more than ten years, and he knows the dragon bridges on the rivers in the county very well. Duan Yanmei continued.

"So that's the case, then I have to study more seriously, can you introduce Mr. Zhang Feiyun who doesn't know me? I want to get his help. Ye Ziqi said.

"Okay, tomorrow weekend, Mr. Zhang happened to make an appointment with several county photographers associations to shoot the dragon brain bridge, you can come downstairs to our unit at nine o'clock to meet."

Or why don't you come over tonight and have a few of our classmates have a reunion?" Duan Yanmei said with a hearty smile.

"I'll come over on time tomorrow, this afternoon, I'm going to see how it is, I'm still at my grandfather's house, and I don't know if I'll be in time to go back?" Ye Ziqi replied vaguely.

"It's okay, come over if you win, let's make an appointment when you come, and we'll see you tomorrow if you don't win." Duan Yanmei hurriedly said.

"Alright, I'll call you ahead if I can come. Ye Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief.
