The Past Life of Lan Ou Bridge

Olanqiao village is very close to Ningbo city. In my memory, this is a similar name. When I fell in love with my wife 25 years ago, her grandparents lived in the village. When I first went, I took a bus from Ningbo to Xicheng Bridge, and then walked for 45 minutes to Lianhua Cable Bridge. On the way, when I panted on the Wangchun Bridge and put my hand on the arbor to look at the Lotus Cable Bridge, the Lotus Cable Bridge stood vaguely at the end of the horizon like a shy village girl, somewhat lonely and mysterious.

Later, I gradually realized that lianhua bridge, which is often written as "Niulan Bridge" by people who don't know the details, is really not a good place to go. In my eyes, "Lotus Cable Bridge" is a poetic name, and the word "Lotus" brings people a lot of beautiful imagination. Lotus Cable Bridge is located in the west beach of Guguangde Lake. After vicissitudes of life, it has gradually become an oasis island surrounded by water like a lotus leaf. A three-hole flat stone bridge in the east of the village was rebuilt in the 18th year of Jiaqing (18 13). From a distance, it looks like a three-section lotus root connecting the east coast, and it also connects the village with the earth like a cable. On this basis, people call this bridge the Lotus Root Cable Bridge, hence the name of the village.

The history of Lotus Cable Bridge can be traced back to the Tang and Song Dynasties more than 800 years ago, and she witnessed the development history of Chinese civilization. Walking into the renovated Zhu Ancestral Hall and opening the genealogy of Zhu in Siming lianhua bridge, the Lotus Cable Bridge is really extraordinary. Zhu is the most important surname of Lianhuasuoqiao, and its most important branch is (word Yunxi). In the fourth year of Southern Song Dynasty (1 193), Zhu moved from Gusu to Taizhou Secretariat of Lianhuasuoqiao. Zhu Kui has three sons. The eldest son Xiao Jie and the third son Xiao Qing live in Lianhuasuoqiao, and the second son Xiao Liang lives in Tengshan. Later, Xiao Qing moved to Xianxiang. Zhu Kui's descendants live in Zhanqi, Qiushan, Tangxi Mountain, Qiancao, Houcao and Shenqihui. Zhu's clan has been handed down from generation to generation, and the ancestral motto of "loyalty, filial piety and friendship" has been remembered from generation to generation. There are several great industrialists and scientists in this family. In the modern history of China, their names are household names. Zhu Xiushan and Zhu Yingfu are known as the "Two Outstanding Lotus Cable Bridges". Zhu Xiushan is an "honorary citizen of Ningbo". With tenacious perseverance and extraordinary wisdom, he founded textile, chemical and shipping industries in Taiwan Province Province. However, being in a foreign land, he is homesick and frequently spends huge sums of money to return to his hometown, becoming one of the industrialists who have donated the most to social welfare, education, health and welfare undertakings in his hometown among Ningbo citizens who travel to Taiwan. Zhu Yingfu is the chief designer of the first "Liaoning" aircraft carrier in China. The shipbuilder who once wanted to be a captain overcame unimaginable difficulties and finally made this sea "Big Mac" a great success in the world. In different times, Lotus Cable Bridge has outstanding talents.

Lotus cable bridge has a long tradition of farming and reading, which is confirmed by a place called "Dragon Tongue" at the intersection of two rivers in the west of the village. It is said that people with long tongues in history were either farmers or vendors, and they all made a living by carrying loads. In this regard, the local villagers told me a legend: Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was worried that someone would try to usurp the throne and sent Chen Sanmu to Ningbo to break the feng shui. After Chen arrived in Ningbo, he found two in Xixiang, one corresponding to Yin Zhai, and the main cave was in Wangchunqiao cemetery. Another answer Yang Zhai, the point is in today's dragon tongue. It is said that if the person who lives in the dragon tongue happens to build his house in the right hole, this family is king. In order to break the Long Mai, Pai Cheng people dug a river near the Dragon's Tongue Triangle. On the night of digging the river, there was lightning and thunder, and it was stormy. The next day, people found the river full of blood. It turns out that Long Mai was cut off. Since then, tequila people can't be kings, and they have lived on pole for generations. Legend will always be a legend, but the way the dragon-tongued people make a living by hard work is admirable. In fact, tequila people are not only diligent and cultured, but also subtly influenced by ethics and sages. The son of the Zhu family once built a lecture hall of Zhu Thought on the Dragon's Tongue Ditang, and the word "lecture hall of Zhu Thought" was written on the plaque on the lintel. Yang, a senior minister of the Ming Dynasty, wrote the Zhu Thought Workshop for him. However, due to various reasons, this parental motto has not been recorded and circulated so far, but it is foreseeable that it has taught future generations to know poetry, courtesy, self-cultivation and virtue.

Lotus Cable Bridge is an ancient village in the south of the Yangtze River, where the scenery of Jiangnan water town can be seen everywhere. When I first went there, I was deeply attracted by her. This is not to say that there is anything valuable here, but its original ecological pastoral scenery without carving traces touched my heart. Stone roads, stone arch bridges, stone benches, old trees, old houses, old wall doors, river ponds, river ports, river banks, aquatic plants, water ducks and water birds ... These elements constitute the rural scenery, and the lotus cable bridge is almost the same. The most beautiful thing about the Lotus Cable Bridge is the winding slate pond: because the village is surrounded by water and the four bridges pass by, the slate pond not only connects seven rivers, including Qiancao, Houcao, the old ancestral temple Cao, Beicao, Ji Ling Cao, Aicao and Changcao, but also leads to the Wangchun Bridge in the distance. One side of the stone road is a field, a green crop, and the other side is a pond, a clear river. People walk on it, just like walking on the water trail in Shaoxing. At that time, I was dreaming of poetry. When I came back, I couldn't help but write a poem-Impression Lotus Cable Bridge:

The bird's wings lead the ship's whistle into the distance.

The waterline stirred by ducks was quickly ironed by the blue sky.

The village girls on the dock beat the rhythm of life with wooden sticks.

The fiery red coat painted the delicate cheeks with rouge.

The path paved with bluestone is a long belt.

The local accent sung by high heels is recorded on it.

The dog lay lazily in the sunset.

The old pipe jingled on the stone bridge.

Spit out an attractive story.

The field after harvest reveals the joy of dedication.

The garden in the fence is the dream full of green.

The breeze began to cut the smoke in the corrugated kitchen into ribbons.

The moon rises under the neem tree behind the village.

Throw it on the telephone pole in front of the village

The night is real, without any impurities.

The red scarf disappeared on the edge of the new haystack

After a hard day's work, the village looks like a strong man.

Sleep in a quiet night

Only the cockscomb in the basin is still stretching its neck.

Quietly waiting for tomorrow's singing.

If the knowledge of lianhua bridge is limited to its ancient history, then people in lianhua bridge may think that you are OUT. I've come into contact with many people of Lotus Cable Bridge. They are proud of the ancient and glorious history of their village, but they are even more proud of today's Lotus Cable Bridge. In today's Gao Qiao Town, the Lotus Cable Bridge is also a resounding name, and it is the pioneering place that is the first to connect with the city. Reform and opening up have brought vitality to China's development and promoted earth-shaking changes in the countryside. As a member of the vast rural areas in China, Lotus Cable Bridge has also experienced changes from old to new and from poor to rich. I have heard and read many stories about the Lotus Cable Bridge, which is the epitome of the rapid development of a modern countryside. In a short period of more than ten years, Lianhua Cable Bridge has achieved a magnificent turn from Tiantou Nomura to the village in the city. Now, Lotus Cable Bridge has developed into a mixed economy integrating village-run enterprises, renting factories, renting storefronts and agriculture. At Lianhua Cable Bridge, the person in charge of the village committee told me a series of figures, which explained the development speed of my hometown and its contribution to Ningbo's urban construction. I can't remember those dazzling figures, but I saw with my own eyes how the people of Lotus Cable Bridge used their wisdom and hard work to dress up the land construction in their hometown in colorful colors. Lotus Cable Bridge is no longer a village where men plow and women weave straw hats in history, but a bustling place of modern industry and commerce. Just a few days ago, I made a cursory visit to today's Lotus Cable Bridge. In her 100-meter-long wide street, in the cultural square where she installed the fitness path, in her laughing and noisy elderly activity center, in her quiet and tidy community health service station, in her bustling farmer's market, in her brightly lit department store, in her tall and charming apartment building, and in the largest antique market in Ningbo, the brand-new look of Lotus Cable Bridge surprised me. I think the pride of the lotus bridge people really has good reasons.

Yes, I am intoxicated by the past lives of Lotus Cable Bridge. Past lives are history, tradition, culture and wealth left by ancestors. This kind of life is reality, progress and the creation and pursuit of modern people. Here, tradition and modernity are harmoniously combined, and they are not mutually exclusive, inseparable, inclusive and mutually promoting. A brand-new lotus root cable bridge thrives on the ancient foundation. I believe that this is the most beautiful and moving scenery in the construction of new countryside.

Tomorrow of Lianhua Cable Bridge will be better.
