Where is Shucheng Jinlong Bridge?

Jinlong Bridge is located on the nanxi river outside the south gate of Chengguan Town, Shucheng County. Nanxi, also known as Gull Creek, was called Longshushui in ancient times. In the past, rivers were wide, water was abundant and shipping was developed. It brings convenience to the east-west water transport, but also blocks the north-south traffic. Around the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a ferry here. Shucheng named it "Longmian Gudu" in memory of Li, a great painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there is also "Gong Lin Lane" on the north bank. This land is very famous, and the bridge of this ferry is even more famous.

According to the Records of Wanli County, Nanmen Stone Bridge was built in the Ming Dynasty. "Jiajing county, the stone bridge was built at the beginning, and then it fell back. For several years, no owner wanted to build a bridge. Wanli County magistrate Chen Kuishi built it. " According to Yiwenzhi, Ye Fengchun, the satrap of Luzhou at that time, wrote in The Story of the New Jinlong Bridge in Shucheng County: "The bridge locks the river and looks like a dragon", hence the name Jinlong.

Jinlong Bridge was built on the site of the old South Bridge during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Originally thirteen stone slab bridges were destroyed by war in the early Qing Dynasty. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the migrant workers stationed in Shu mobilized to control water, so they diverted the Qili River (now Hangbu River) to flow south, making it narrow. In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu (190 1), the county magistrate Xiao Renbing took charge and raised funds to rebuild the imitation Ming Jinlong Bridge. The rebuilt Jinlong Bridge is shorter than the original bridge, and it is a granite tile-stone slab bridge with a width of 3 meters, six piles and five holes and a total length of 40 meters. The bridge piles are 8 meters high and 5 meters wide and arranged vertically from east to west. The extensions of the stacks are arched, with seven stone strips laid flat between each stack, and the joint is supported by a bucket arch. The overall design of the bridge is reasonable, the structure is rigorous and the technology is sophisticated. The unique bridge pile shape can not only divert floods and waves, but also be beautiful and generous, which is amazing. In the year of Xuantongyuan (1909), a bridge pavilion was first built in the south of the bridge, and the three characters "Jinlong Bridge" were inscribed. There are four stone monuments in the pavilion, including the "Reconstruction of the Golden Dragon Bridge Monument" written by Zhang Danian, a scholar in the county at that time, and the names of the donors. Now there are only two stone tablets left.

1982, Shucheng county people's government accepted the suggestion of the cultural relics department, allocated special funds for the maintenance of Jinlong bridge, and announced it as a key cultural relics protection unit in the county. Jinlong Brewery, built in the mid-1980s, was named after this bridge.

Standing on the ancient bridge, you can see the purple fog in the east, the flowing clouds in the western hills at night, the green trees and bamboos on both sides, and nanxi river is more beautiful against the quaint and chic Jinlong Bridge.
