Chapter 13 Whether to go or not to see

[A skill will only be included in the intangible cultural heritage when it is about to become extinct.] 】

How realistic, and how cruel.

The traditional construction technique of wooden arch bridges is a living fossil of Chinese bridge construction technology.

It represents the highest technical level of ancient wooden bridges in China.

It condenses the wisdom of the ancient working people.

Bridges built with this technology only exist in the world in an area of more than 200 kilometers at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces in China.

In the year of Nie Guangyi's college entrance examination, the three counties of Taishun, Qingyuan and Jingning in Zhejiang, and the four counties of Shouning, Zhouning, Pingnan and Zhenghe in Fujian jointly applied for this skill.

At that time, a total of 22 Fujian and Zhejiang wooden arcade bridges were packed, and Wan'an Bridge was one of them.

On the county annals of Pingnan County, where Wan'an Bridge is located, there are records about the past and present life of this bridge.

Song Shi built, the base stone is the pier five, the pavilion is built on the top, the Xuzi is stolen and burned, only one board remains. (1708)

Qianlong was rebuilt in seven years. (1742)

In the 33rd year of Qianlong, it was stolen and burned, and the wood was erected to cross. (1768)

Daoguang was rebuilt in the twenty-fifth year. (1845)

It was burned again at the beginning of the 20th century and rebuilt again in 1932.

In 1952, the northwest end was washed away by a flood and two arches were rebuilt in 1954.

For people who don't grow in this place, if it weren't for today's fire, the name Wan'an Bridge would not have been heard at all.

Not to mention that people in other places don't know, even the aborigines of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, most of them have never heard of it.

Even if you hear about it, nearby counties and cities. There are also other bridges called that have this name.

For most people, the word "cultural relics" has always been a very ungrounded concept.

However, for the villagers of Changqiao Village, Wan'an Bridge is a testimony to their ancestral life in this place.

From birth to twilight, year after year, generation after generation.

Wan'an Bridge was originally a very beautiful and eclectic wooden arcade bridge.

The bridge house has 38 bays and 156 columns, with a total length of 98.2 meters.

The bridge is designed with unequal spans.

The longest arch span is 15.2 meters and the shortest is 10.6 meters.

The piers are boat-shaped.

Heavy eaves bridge pavilion, green tile double slope roof.

Wear bucket type wooden beam frame cornices shuttle.

On both sides of the 4.7-meter-wide bridge deck are benches made in one go, commonly known as "beauty leaning".

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, no matter what season you pass by, you will see a lot of people on the bridge.

The old people chatted on it, and the little children played on it.

On a summer night, the cool breeze on the bridge is the most unbearable to leave.

Walking on this bridge is like stepping into a piece of history.

When the people of Longbridge Village arrive here, they will unconsciously slow down.

Xuan Shi followed Nie Guangyi to Changqiao Village, and the first thing he saw was the scene of many people sitting by the stream, crying silently.

"Why are so many people sitting here crying? Are your grandparents so influential in the village? Xuan Shi was a little puzzled by this.

Because of the departure of an old man, crying and crying is not necessarily really sad, but silent tears are definitely true.

How much does a person need to be respected so that the whole village will cry silently when he is about to leave.

"You're thinking too much, they're crying about the bridge, not about my grandparents, or whatever." Nie Guangyi answered questions and solved doubts.

"Crying about this bridge?" Xuan Shi couldn't understand it anymore.

"You've been driving just now, and the video of the Wan'an Bridge fire has been uploaded by many people one after another." Nie Guangyi pointed to his mobile phone and said, "Just click on a few, and you will find that many people are crying while taking videos." ”

Xuan Shi thought for a while and said, "The people in the village should regard this bridge as a part of their home. ”

"Perhaps."

Nie Guangyi didn't know what kind of mood he should be in now.

I don't know what kind of mood is right.

If a feeling is right or wrong, too.

Should he be as sad as the villagers, or should he be a little gloating?

Perhaps, no waves is the most correct way to deal with it.

"Then your grandfather's feelings for this bridge can be understood."

"It's understandable." Nie Guangyi smiled bitterly, "My grandfather is the source of auspiciousness and the origin of the name of this bridge. ”

"Do you mind this?" Xuan Shi asked.

"I don't mind, there is a grandfather who inherits non-genetic inheritance, what is there to mind."

"So, in general, if you want to be angry about abandonment, it's your dad who should be angry, right? Professor Nie himself doesn't mind the fact that he was abandoned, so don't be angry with your grandfather. ”

Nie Guangyi said bluntly: "I'm not angry with my grandfather." ”

"Then you don't need to be allergic to classics, right?" Xuan Shi said, "Just like my coffee, as long as the misunderstanding is solved, there will be no allergens." ”

"Why don't you understand, from beginning to end, I'm just angry with my father."

Nie Guangyi asked with a little seriousness: "Professor Nie, can you understand your behavior?" He's an ominous man abandoned by this place. If he doesn't have a heart to apply for this place, why should I do this? ”

In 1954, Qiu Fuyan, Nie Guangyi's grandfather, who had just passed the year of establishment, devoted himself to the rebuilding of the arch.

He forgot to sleep and eat, and he didn't even remember that he had a son who was less than three years old, and he wanted to live directly on the bridge.

Nie Guangyi's grandmother, Qiu Qingyun, has to take care of Nie Guangyi's father.

I have to worry every day about whether Qiu Fuyan will fall from a height of more than eight meters again.

In Grandma Qiu's view, having been lucky once does not mean that you will be lucky forever.

Grandpa Qiu didn't think much about it.

Work until dark every day.

Where the danger goes.

Coupled with the remarks that Nie Guangyi's father is an "ominous person", Grandma Qiu can be described as having trouble sleeping.

Maybe it's out of superstition, or maybe it's really not going to take care of it.

Nie Guangyi's father was given to a family surnamed Nie in Shanghai.

When Nie Guangyi was born, Nie's grandfather had already passed away.

Therefore, for Nie Guangyi, although the surname is different, he has never had one grandfather.

When he was young, he also liked to live in Changqiao Village during the winter and summer vacations.

Speaking of which, Nie Guangyi's erhu was still taught by Old Man Qiu.

"What did Professor Nie tell you?"

"He didn't say anything, but my mom always had a lot of disgust with Changqiao Village, and every time my dad asked me to come over, my mom would be so angry that she wouldn't talk to me for days."

"And how do you know?"

"The matter of changing the college entrance examination to volunteering made the conflict between my father and my mother completely explode."

Without waiting for Xuan Shi to ask, Nie Guangyi seemed to have turned on a faucet, and said it all by himself:

"My dad is in Changqiao Village and has five older brothers, all of whom were born to my grandparents."

"These five brothers have a total of twelve children, all of whom are my father's education."

"My dad promised to go from elementary school until they graduated from college."

"With such a heavy burden as him, I can't find a good partner in Shanghai."

"Then he met my mom."

"My mother said that she can leave it alone before she gets married, and after she gets married, the income is the joint property of the two people."

"You should be close to your own small family first, not the one who doesn't want him."

"Coupled with my uncles, the conditions are gradually improving, and they are fully capable of providing for their children's education."

"But my dad just won't listen."

"My mom has always been very opinionated about this."

"My dad is not bad for money now, but if you go back twenty or thirty years, who can provide for a dozen children at once?"

"My mom is more tolerant and has never quarreled with my dad in front of me."

"The day the college entrance examination notice came down, my mother was so angry that she divorced my dad directly."

Xuan Shi saw that Nie Guangyi had stopped, and quickly began to enter the question mode again.

"That's why you started to be allergic to the classics?"

"I've had you a big head."

Hearing this, Xuan Shi could almost outline the real cause of Nie Guangyi's allergies.

……

Dream Xinzhi came out of the shower and saw Cheng Nuo standing at the corner of the stairs.

"Sister Cheng Nuo, why are you missing when I take a bath? Didn't you say you were looking for a book to read in my room? ”

"Something happened at the moment, and I can't read the book at this moment."

"What's wrong?" Dream Heart's concern.

"My boyfriend just left."

"Do you two have anything to do but do it?"

"No, he said that something happened to his brother's house, and he had to rush over immediately."

"Sister Cheng Nuo, do you feel that you have been neglected, so you are not happy?"

"I don't know what could make him anxious like that."

"Didn't ask?"

"I didn't have time, he said he'd call me later."

"Then in that case, Sister Cheng Nuo will put her heart in her stomach first."

Dream Heart took Cheng Nuo's hand and came down from upstairs.

saw Zong Ji and Zong Yi getting together and concentrating on watching the video.

Everyone walked up to them, and the two people, one big and one small, didn't notice it yet.

"What's so good?" Dream heart asks the meaning of the sect.

"It's not good-looking, my sister, I watched the video and said that an ancient bridge was burned."

Hearing that the ancient bridge was destroyed, Dream Heart had no way to stay out of it.

"Which bridge?" Dream Heart also took advantage of the situation.

Zong Ji adjusted the position of the mobile phone screen so that both daughters could face the screen.

"In the video, it is said that the bridge is called Wan'an Bridge. Then Uncle Yi's grandfather had a stroke because of this incident, and Brother Shi went back to his hometown with him. ”

Zong Yi complained to Meng Xinzhi a little aggrieved: "My sister, you don't know how hard I put in, so I didn't tell Uncle Yi that I had to finish playing two erhu songs before leaving." ”

"Well, Xiaoyi did the right thing." Yume's heart subconsciously praised his sister.。

His eyes never took his eyes off the video playing on Zongji's phone.

Zong Yi, who was praised by his sister, excitedly came up with a mantra: "Sister, sister, sister, I have a question." ”

"What's the problem?" Conditioned reflex - standard answer plus head touch.

"The news says that this bridge is a cultural relic, in this case, has my sister dreamed of it?"
