The miracles on Zhaozhou Bridge mainly refer to the legendary Zhang Guo The mark of the donkey's hoofs left by the old man riding his donkey backwards on the bridge; the mark of the lane groove made by Lord Chai's cart when crossing the bridge and the mark of his knees; Lu Ban jumped into the river to save the stone bridge and pushed it with his hands The handprints of Shiqiao, these magical traces often become one of the most interesting things that tourists talk about. When you come to Zhaozhou Bridge, you must first look for it to see what it is. This is the most famous legend about Zhaozhou Bridge.
It is said that once upon a time there was a big river named Xiaohe River five miles south of Zhao County, Hebei Province. The Jinghe River originates from Jingxing Mountain in western Hebei Province. In ancient times, its water potential was very strong. Every summer and autumn, when heavy rains came, the rainwater and mountain springs flowed down the river together, and merged with several rivers along the way to form a raging torrent. Therefore, residents and pedestrians on both sides of the Mihe River feel very inconvenienced.
This difficulty of the people of Zhao County was known to the famous craftsman Lu Ban. He came all the way and used his outstanding skills to build the Zhaozhou Stone Bridge overnight.
The news that Zhaozhou Bridge was completed quickly spread throughout the country. Residents from near and far rushed to visit with surprise. This miracle even alarmed Zhang Guolao, one of the "Eight Immortals". On the donkey's back, the "sun" was placed on one side and the "moon" was placed on the other side, so that it could walk across the bridge. Not to mention, Zhang Guo always wanted to make a joke with Lu Ban, so he made an appointment with Chai Rong, pushed a wheelbarrow carrying "Five Famous Mountains", and came to the bridge together, and asked if the bridge could accommodate the two of them. Walk at the same time. At this time, Lu Ban had just repaired the bridge and was very proud, so he said disapprovingly: "Such a strong stone bridge, can't it withstand the two of you walking on it?" Unexpectedly, after they got on the bridge, the bridge was crumbling under the pressure. When Lu Ban saw that the situation was not good, he quickly jumped off the bridge and held the east side of the bridge with his hands, so that the two immortals could pass smoothly with the sun, moon and five famous mountains. Since then, there have been left several "immortal traces" that people talk about on the bridge; Zhang Guolao's donkey hoof prints and the circular pit formed by the fall of his bamboo hat; Chai Rong pushed the cart too hard and pushed one of his knees to the ground. the knee prints and driveway ditches; and the hand prints of the Rubanto Bridge. Later, except for the fact that the east side collapsed and the handprints had disappeared, the rest of the fairy traces "have remained." This vivid legend is sung in "Little Cowherd".
Between the two villages There is a river across the river, and it is very inconvenient for villagers to get in and out. Moreover, a boat crossing the river was once flooded, so a kind man with some savings decided to donate money to build a bridge. The following stories may happen around this bridge:
Story 1: After the news came out, a large number of people were immediately attracted. Some asked well-wishers to donate to their alma mater, some asked him to show love to the disaster area, and some asked him to show his love to the disaster area. He was photographed on TV and published in newspapers and offered a few dollars, and some people asked him to invest in the project after treating him to meals, saunas, and sightseeing. Story 2: When the construction of the bridge started, the local government insisted on holding a groundbreaking ceremony, invited several leaders to attend, and had a number of "charity performances" by celebrities. The scene was spectacular and grand. However, the ceremony was very expensive and the construction was stopped after it started.
Story 3: The two village chiefs had a falling out over the contracting of the bridge repair project, and they ended up arguing with each other. The bridge repair was delayed again and again.
Story 4: The man who made a living on the ferry thought of repairing it. After the bridge, he would lose his job, so he immediately held a demonstration and attacked the windows of well-intentioned people with stones in the middle of the night. The good-hearted people had to change their plans in order to calm the trouble.
Story 5: After the bridge was repaired, people and horses stepped on it, and the road surface of the bridge gradually became bumpy. Once, an old man accidentally fell down while passing by. Ten of his family members besieged the good Samaritan's house and demanded thousands of dollars in compensation before giving up.
Story 6: In order to maintain the bridge deck, a kind person hired a person to take care of it daily. In order to pay the bridge guards, a cashier was hired. Since there is a cashier, there must be an accountant. We have all the cashiers and accountants, how can we not have a supervisor? After that, the office director, deputy director, secretary, chef, and driver were added, and the number suddenly increased to more than 10 people. The well-meaning people could not bear the financial expenses, so they ordered the supervisor to lay off employees. The supervisor immediately invited several experts and scholars to conduct investigation and analysis, and established an "organization" "Reform Leading Group", after some discussion and consideration, decided to lay off one person: the bridge guard.
Story 7: After the bridge was repaired, it was taken over by the local government. In order to "maintain the bridge with the bridge", there was a charge of 1 cent per person to cross the bridge. After that, it rose to 2 cents, 5 cents, and 1 yuan. Finally, the township government stipulated that those who have not paid XX fees or XX fees must pay them in full before they can cross the bridge. Slowly, fewer and fewer people cross the bridge, and the ferry business becomes increasingly prosperous. Finally, there was no one left on the bridge and it became an abandoned bridge. The bridge guards spend their days playing mahjong every day, which is quite leisurely and enjoyable.
Story 8: Because the toll is too high, there are fewer people crossing the bridge. In order to attract villagers to cross the bridge, the township government decided to hold the "Love Cup Crossing the Bridge with Prizes Activity", and the winners will receive a certain amount of money.
