Ai Qing wrote about the bridge, but its essence is to connect, connect two pieces of land, and connect the spirit of people who are not connected. There is a difference between having a bridge and not having one. If you have been to Jiangnan, you will understand that people's feelings are harmonious on the same land, but where the land is separated, there is always a gap between people, and the bridge is a reality to eliminate the gap.
Bridge is also the crystallization of human labor and wisdom, which is also mentioned in primary school textbooks. Bridge is the crystallization of people's efforts to break the natural isolation, and it is the concrete embodiment of people's unity, diligence and wisdom.
Bridges are also the witness of history. Generally, bridges have a long life. The changes of several generations can be seen from the smoothness of the bridge guardrail, the unevenness of the bridge deck and the lines of the abutments that have been hit. With the passage of time, the bridge has undergone many changes.

When land and land are separated by water,
When roads and roads are cut off by water,
Intelligent human beings stand by and watch the water;
So the bridge came into being.
Humans who have suffered from trekking,
Thanks to this bridge.
Bridge is the connection between land and land;
Bridge is the love of river and road;
The bridge is a post station for ships and vehicles to nod;
This bridge is where people wave goodbye to pedestrians by boat.
