It is impossible to verify the time when the Anlan Cable Bridge was first built, but at least in the Tang Dynasty, it was already swaying poetically over Dujiangyan like the rhythm of a Tang poem. Du Fu once personally watched the construction of this bridge. He wrote in his poem:
The bamboo was cut to form the same structure as the bridge, and the clothes did not involve the traffic.
The white crane returns to China in the cold weather, and the blue dragon appears in the water at sunset.
I am not the one who writes the title, but it is the merit of Jichuan that I know you.
Everyone looks at it but laughs at the thousand years of events, when will the stone drive to the east of the sea?

Before the Song Dynasty, the Anlan Cable Bridge was called the Zhupu Bridge. Fan Chengda, a famous pastoral poet who spent a long time in Dujiangyan and wrote many poems, recorded the Anlan Cable Bridge "one hundred and twenty feet long and twelve ropes wide" in his "Wu It was recorded in poetry in "Ship Records". Reading it today, I can still imagine the magnificent scenery of the bridge at that time.
Weave the mat evenly on the pavement, and arrange the ropes to make it overhead.
Dying people with high exposure to silk, Orion is far away from Zhang Yi.
It is so thin that it cannot withstand the rain and cannot be turned over by the wind.
When will the guests from Shu go east to see the "Cuihong"?
