Zhaozhou Bridge is a famous ancient bridge in Chinese history, built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is said that the bridge was successfully built after three failed attempts by craftsmen, and was inspired by a Zen master. It has therefore become an important symbol in Zen culture. In another sense, Zhaozhou Bridge is also the crystallization of human wisdom and courage. It is a great project worthy of our admiration and memory.
Walking through the Zhaozhou Bridge, I couldn’t help but think of the legend behind it. Zen Buddhism emphasizes sudden enlightenment, which means seeing nature, but this concept is often misunderstood as a one-sided emphasis on instantaneous understanding, while ignoring long-term persistence and hard work, as well as attention and understanding of all aspects of life, nature, and the world. The Zhaozhou Bridge embodies this spirit of perseverance and perseverance. It is not only a beautiful bridge, but also the crystallization of human wisdom and courage. It is a way for people to overcome setbacks and overcome difficulties. A manifestation of spiritual quality.
