Chapter 1090: What is a Stone Arch Bridge?

Ren Na saw that the cameras of various TV reporters were aimed at this side, and the picture of Su Huai's nostalgic poems was transmitted to the world, thinking that the scenic spot she contracted was famous all over the world, she couldn't help but be interested, and sighed loudly:

"It turns out that our Chinese ancients are so literate, and those who have scolded our Chinese ancestors for being barbarians are really not long-eyed~~"

These words undoubtedly slapped all the Europeans and Americans in the audience, many reporters blushed slightly, and even Speaker Brown was a little displeased, and said loudly:

"The ancient civilization of a nation cannot be measured purely by poetry and painting. ”

Renna smiled and said, "Yes, for example, the 'mortise and tenon structure' of the building?"

Speaker Brown was stunned for a moment, but he was still unconvinced: "When it comes to architecture, only wooden buildings are more ...... in the East" Brown was about to say that Chinese people can only make wood, but suddenly looked out the window and slowly passed a stone bridge.

The moment he saw the stone bridge, Speaker Brown stood up directly, his whole face was full of surprise, and he pointed out the window and said:

"Mr. Su, is that bridge also one of your ancient Chinese buildings? What kind of structure is it, I have never seen it. ”

Su Huai glanced at it, and then said in a very ordinary tone: "It's just an ordinary stone arch bridge, built in imitation of the Zhaozhou Bridge of the Sui Dynasty." ”

The stone arch bridge was very common in Su Huai's original time and space, and it was not a big deal, but in the eyes of Speaker Brown, an architectural professional, he felt very novel and surprised:

"This structure is really novel, and the big arch is connected to the small arch, which really saves a lot of stone. ”

Although the pagoda amazed him just now, Brown still felt in his heart: "When it comes to stone buildings, it is still superior to the West." "I didn't expect to see a unique Chinese stone arch bridge now.

Mrs. Carla, who was on the side, also looked surprised and asked, "With so many holes in the bridge, aren't you afraid of collapsing?"

Su Huai casually explained: "This bridge looks dangerous, in fact, this big arch is made up of 28 arch circles, just like so many bows of the same shape together, made into an arc-shaped bridge hole, each arch ring can independently support the weight on it, one is broken, and the others will not be affected." ”

Speaker Brown looked at the shoulders of the big arch, each with two small arches, and said with admiration on his face:

These two small arches not only save stone and reduce the weight of the bridge, but also increase the amount of water passing through the bridge and reduce the impact of the flood on the bridge when the river rises. At the same time, the arch is added to the arch, and the bridge body is also more beautiful! Kill three birds with one stone~! The bridge building of the Chinese people has such a unique structure, it is really unimaginable!"

Su Huai said indifferently: "This Zhaozhou Bridge, although it is known as 'the first moon out of the clouds, Changhong leads the stream', has a high technical level and artistic value, but it is not unique to China, you ancient Europa, in the Middle Ages also built a similar stone arch bridge, but it was also submerged after the catastrophe, you don't know." ”

Su Huai said this very casually, but Speaker Brown listened with straight eyes, and excitedly took Su Huai's hand and said: "What Mr. Su said is true, if you have relevant information, please have the opportunity to go to the relevant departments to re-repair the building information of Europa~~!"

Su Huai can say this, which proves that among his folk materials, there are not only Western religious materials such as the "Four Seas Ancient Scroll", but also some lost ancient Western architectural materials!

If ancient buildings such as St. John's Basilica in Rome can be restored, the symbolism of Europa will be enormous!

Su Huai didn't expect that this Speaker Brown would be so excited when he mentioned the building, and thought to himself, it's just a stone arch bridge, if I can reset Dujiangyan, it would be scary, but it's a pity...... We don't have the technology.

The reporters listened to Speaker Brown's exclamation, and they all pointed their cameras at the Zhaozhou Bridge, and they were very attentive to the shooting, obviously the beautiful shape of the stone arch bridge attracted them.

Seeing that Speaker Brown and the European and American reporters on the scene were about to become Su Shengren's fan brothers, Tolkien was secretly anxious, thinking that if it continued to develop like this, he was afraid that there would be no need to compare the couplet game, so as soon as the Zhaozhou Bridge passed, he suddenly changed the topic and asked:

"Mr. Su, did you just say that the couplets you had paired before were all recorded in Chinese folk materials?"

Su Huai was very calm: "Well, that's true. ”

Tolkien continued to ask: "Mr. Su, is it said that all the literary figures in our group of Europa, New Europe, and Yuben have not jumped out of the thinking of your ancient Chinese people?

Su Huai heard the questioning in Tolkien's tone, thinking that these people had questioned Su Dongpo's existence three or four times, and couldn't help sneering: "Can't Teacher Tuo accept that our Chinese barbarian thinking and literature are better than you Western literati?"

Stegin next to him looked at Su Huai and sneered:

"Mr. Su, why be angry? I know that you were called a cultural desert in China, and some people even laughed at it as a barbarian, you are angry in your heart, which is understandable.

But Mr. Su uses his own poetic couplets to give you Chinese ancestors a long face, doesn't he want to humiliate the people of Europe, the United States and Japan, who are not even as good as barbarians?"

Tolkien couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and said, "Mr. Su, you really have good intentions." ”

Tolkien and Steven provoked the two of them, interpreting Su Huai's various boasts about the ancient Chinese people as his humiliation of the European and American people.

Ji Qiaoqiao, Brother Hai all listened to it and his face darkened, and even Mrs. Carla couldn't stand Tolkien's cunning a little, so she hurriedly played a round next to her and said:

"Teacher Su is just modest and polite, this couplet is just a Lantern Festival game, how can it be related to the Eastern wisdom that Westerners can't win? ”

All European and American reporters also felt that Tolkien's words were a bit excessive, but Stekine on the side said coldly:

"Actually, I also think that this couplet is just a play on words, and I think that Mr. Tuo is just not used to some boasting for the ancient Chinese, but after a few couplets, he began to ridicule us Western literati, whose thinking and literary talent are not as good as those of barbarians...... There is a suspicion of watching people through the cracks in the door. ”

Su Huai's words just now were just singing a high note to Su Dongpo and Du Fu, but these people magnified him infinitely to the concept of Su Huai's racial discrimination! Repeatedly mentioning the word "barbarian" deliberately stimulated Su Huai.

Mrs. Carla couldn't see the means of these two people at this time, so she hurriedly gave Su Huai a round and said:

"Mr. Su, of course I don't mean that, Mr. Su just wants to say that their ancient Chinese people are better at couplets, and they don't mean to underestimate the literati of other countries, Mr. Su, don't you say?"

As she spoke, Mrs. Carla winked at Su Huai and motioned for him to stop from Tolkien's trap.

But Su Huai thought to himself, okay, you Westerners still have the face to mention racial discrimination, damn, you white people in the world are the most discriminatory against us Chinese.

The sick man of East Asia, the barbarians, the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Asian Subdivision Act, from nicknames to laws, there is a shadow of discrimination everywhere, and now they actually accuse me of racial discrimination?

His grandmother, I'm going to racially discriminate against you today!
