Wan 'an Bridge, which has a history of more than 900 years, was burned down. Is the cultural heritage of the ancient covered bridge effectively protected?

Many netizens felt very sad and sorry when the news that Wan 'an Bridge in chang qiao zhen, pingnan county, Fujian caught fire came out. It is understood that Wan 'an Bridge was built in the Song Dynasty, with a total length of 98.2 meters, five piers and six holes. With Chinese fir as the material, there are double-eaved bridge pavilions, bucket beam cornices and blue tiles on the top cover in the northwest of the bridge. Exquisite workmanship, magnificent momentum, simple and dignified. As the longest existing lounge bridge in China, Wan 'an Bridge has a history of more than 900 years, which is of great value in the history of ancient bridge construction technology in China. I didn't expect to be destroyed by a fire. It's really a pity.

This incident also raises a question worth pondering, that is, has the ancient covered bridge culture been effectively protected? I think the answer is no, according to local people, there are no corresponding fire protection measures on Wan 'an Bridge, and there are only a handful of fire hoses and fire extinguishers. Right after the fire broke out, most people had to carry water by hand to put out the fire, which wasted time and reduced efficiency on a certain distance. Wan 'an Bridge was once listed as the sixth batch of material and cultural heritage for cultural relics protection. During the publicity, it was claimed that the bridge was protected in various ways. And their protective measures are nothing more than a few insurances on the bridge, and have not played any substantive role.

I think the protection of ancient cultural heritage should start with the essence first, and the protection measures can't be fooled by a few insurances. The relevant person in charge of the relevant unit must be responsible for the fire control of the bridge. How to effectively protect cultural heritage is a key problem that people should solve. We should consider the material of the building itself, the year of construction and various factors to come up with a perfect answer to protect it. Through civil air defense, strengthen daily inspections to find and rectify hidden dangers in time. Through physical defense, equipped with fire extinguishers and other fire-fighting facilities, entrust professional institutions to kill termites, we should learn from this matter and protect cultural heritage correctly and effectively.
