Zhu Yuanzhang, the boy from Anhui, would not allow the remote Phoenix to become the emperor. With a stroke of Zhu Yuanzhang's ink pen, the Phoenix Feng Shui was devastated, and the Hongqiao Fengyu Tower was erected on the Tuojiang River. Hongqiao Fengyu Tower is actually an overlapping landscape spanning more than 600 years of history from bottom to top, from ancient times to the present. This bridge was built in the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. People in Fengshui who believe in Feng Shui say that this bridge cut off a dragon's neck, causing a giant dragon's head to be dislocated. But in the third year of the Republic of China, the Tuojiang River experienced a major flood that had not been seen in 300 years, and the Hongqiao Fengyu Tower was severely damaged. Tian Yingzhao, a Phoenix man who was newly appointed as the garrison envoy of western Hunan, presided over the restoration of Hongqiao. After the repair, the bridge piers were reinforced, the bridge deck was repaired, the wooden railings on the bridge were removed, and it was converted into a wooden structure with stilts and a wooden house, which is consistent with the length of the bridge deck. Twelve wooden houses of equal size are built on each side. There is a three-meter-six-meter-wide pedestrian corridor in the middle, which is covered by a roof to protect it from the sun and rain. There are a row of flower windows on each side of the top to provide lighting and Facilitates air convection. There is an archway gate at each end of the bridge deck, with the word "Hongqiao" written on it by Tian Yingzhao.
As time goes by, nearly a hundred years of war and historical changes have made Hongqiao full of vicissitudes. The wooden components of the bridge have begun to mold and rot. The 12 unique wooden buildings on both sides have also disappeared like phoenixes. Many of the distant scenery has disappeared. Time has entered two thousand years, and Fenghuang Ancient City has entered the new century as a famous historical and cultural city. The renovated Hongqiao Fengyu Building has two floors, which is more perfect in the original architectural style, elegant and antique. The twenty-four wooden storefronts on the first floor sell various folk handicrafts, groceries and local specialties, with shouts and whispers of bargaining...
The second floor is the folk culture building. Entering the building, no matter on the two sides, The cultural and art gallery, the art corridor in the middle, and the teahouse with tangled ancient tree trunks as tables and chairs will all open your eyes and leave you in awe. In addition to many rare folk handicrafts such as Miao Wang wooden chairs and giant cigarette bags, there are also works by ancient, modern and contemporary famous calligraphers and painters on display. Many of the contents of those works are about Phoenix, Phoenix poems, Phoenix scenery, and Phoenix scenery.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that the Hongqiao Fengyu Tower would cut off the dragon's neck, but leave a unique scenery for the people of Phoenix. Standing on the Genhong Bridge, looking up close and into the distance, you can see the far-reaching artistic conception, which is a bit elegant in the past and a bit ethereal in the vicissitudes of life. Nearby are the rows of stilted buildings hanging on the rocks of Shawan. The bustling buildings are integrated with the Fengyu Tower on Hongqiao, leaving reflections floating on the river. In the distance are the Xia Chang Pavilion Ten Thousand Names Pagoda in the mist and rain, as well as the faint dots of boats and the green mountains and green trees surrounding the small town of Fenghuang.
