? Friends who often surf the Internet should have heard of 1995 Dragon Column Incident of Yan 'an Road Viaduct. It is said that when the viaduct was being built, one pillar could not catch up, so the construction workers invited a monk and a Zen master to do it, and carved several dragons on the pillar before the construction was finally successful. A few days after this incident, the real Zen master died.
In the mid-1990s, the construction of elevated roads in Shanghai was in full swing. After the Inner Ring Road was completed and opened to traffic, Chengdu Road Elevated (North-South Elevated) and Yan 'an Road Elevated, which run through the urban area, were launched one after another, forming a "Shen" pattern running through Shanghai.
Everyone who passes this viaduct will be shocked by the huge and exquisite dragon column at the junction of North-South Road and East-West Cry. Among the thousands of pillars of the viaduct, only this one is engraved with nine golden dragons, all of which are resplendent.
This unique design will naturally arouse people's reverie. It is also a pillar. Why are you so good? So the story about this dragon column spread among the crowd. One of the most popular stories is the story at the beginning of the article.
With the widespread spread of rumors, the builders of viaducts had to come out to refute them.
The captain of the construction team is Zhang Geng, who has served as the captain of the 11th and 12th construction teams of Shanghai No.1 Municipal Engineering Company, the manager of a branch company and the secretary of the General Party Branch. In the face of rumors circulating in the crowd, he explained this way: "The story of this elevated column is very popular among Shanghainese. But as one of the parties, I want to tell you that the theory of "doing things" is pure nonsense. This pillar at the intersection can be said to be a pillar, because it has to support two elevated roads, a * * * four-story road surface, and it is also the main pillar of the "Shen" center of the Shencheng elevated road, with very high technical requirements. According to the design, the diameter of this main column is 5 meters, and 36 steel pipe columns need to be drilled underground. Each steel pipe column has a diameter of 90cm and a length of 64m. According to the construction requirements, these piles will be driven to a depth of more than 60 meters underground.
However, the piling construction team hired by the contractor at that time was only good at building piling and had no experience in driving such dense columns. There are some shortcomings in the construction scheme and technology. As a result, when this piling construction team hit six piles in the first batch, it encountered a hard geological layer, and no matter how hard it hit, it just couldn't go on. Some piles can only be driven above 10 m, and the deepest pile can only be driven to 4 1 m, and none of them meet the design standards.
The construction encountered great difficulties, and the contractor asked the Shanghai Municipal Design Institute to change the design, which was rejected by the design institute. At this time, we are also working in Shanghai Zhengyi Company, which crosses Suzhou River in the northern section, and have already driven 98 piles with the same thickness. The design institute turned to us for help, and under the coordination of the Chengdu Road Elevated Construction Headquarters, the piling work of the intersection column was handed over to us for construction.
I took the team and took three measures in the construction. First, pile with 8 tons heavy hammer; Secondly, water is poured continuously during piling to play a lubricating role; Three, continuous hammering 18 hours, to ensure the deepening of the pile. After changing the construction scheme, it took us only one month and five days to finish driving all 36 piles. Complete the construction of Chengdu Road viaduct node to ensure smooth traffic.
It can be seen that the final penetration of piles depends on scientific modern technology, not geomantic metaphysics. "
From his words, we can know that the reason why the pillar can't be knocked down is because of geology, not because of geomantic omen.
Then why are there nine golden dragons on this pillar? It turns out that this pillar is located in the middle of the viaduct, and the most load-bearing pillar has to be built thicker, which is out of place. For the sake of beauty, the construction team carved nine golden dragons on this pillar. At that time, this practice was praised by the Shanghai authorities.
The true Zen master in the story is the honorary abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple. True Zen (19 16- 1995), who died 1995.
Zhang Geng, the captain of the construction team, also made it clear that in the case that the column could not get in, the construction team handed this question to him, not the real Zen master.
Therefore, the Shanghai Kowloon Column incident can be said to be an urban legend circulating on the Internet. As to who is right, different people have different opinions.
