1. From the natural landscape, Rainbow Bridge is named for its spectacular natural scenery. For example, the Rainbow Bridge, located in Xiaoxihu Lake, Tsinghua, Wuyuan, is known as the first covered bridge in Jiangnan. It was named after the poem "Two Rivers and One Mirror, Two Bridges and One Rainbow". The main color of the Rainbow Bridge is red, which looks like a beautiful rainbow from a distance and is reflected on the lake to form a magnificent picture.
2. Some legends and stories also add mystery to Rainbow Bridge. For example, it is said that there is a rainbow bridge in the north of crayon country, but this legend has not been confirmed. Another example is the Rainbow Bridge near Chengdu. It is said that this bridge was discovered by a little boy named Jimmy. He overcame all kinds of difficulties in the search for the Rainbow Bridge and finally found this mysterious bridge. Although the authenticity of these legends remains to be verified, they do give Rainbow Bridge more mysterious charm.
There are also some rainbow bridges named after historical events or people. For example, the Rainbow Bridge located in Jingxi Village, Caojing Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai, also known as Hongqiao, is a covered bridge with a long history. It was built in the third year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1877) and has a history of nearly 150 years. This bridge is not only a traffic artery, but also a part of the local cultural heritage.
The architectural style of Rainbow Bridge;
1. Harmony with the natural environment: The design of Rainbow Bridge often complements the surrounding natural environment. Whether built on a stream or across a valley, Rainbow Bridge can coexist harmoniously with natural elements such as topography, hydrology and vegetation. This design concept aims to reduce the impact of human architecture on the natural environment, while emphasizing the close relationship with nature.
2. Combination of traditional technology and modern technology: Rainbow Bridge usually adopts traditional building technologies and materials, such as wood, stone and brick, to maintain the continuity with local culture and history. The application of modern science and technology has also injected new vitality into these traditional elements. For example, modern bridge design software and engineering technology have played an important role in ensuring the structural safety and durability of bridges.
3. Creativity and artistry: Rainbow Bridge is not only a practical means of transportation, but also a stage for designers to display creativity and artistry. Every rainbow bridge is unique, from the lines of the bridge body, the shape of the pier to the treatment of decorative details. This combination of creativity and artistry not only makes Rainbow Bridge a landmark building, but also makes it a good place for local residents and tourists to take photos as a souvenir.
