It was built from the first year to the eleventh year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty (605-616). It was designed and constructed by the craftsman Li Chun.

024. The Longest Stone Bridge in the World: Anping Bridge


Anping Bridge, also known as "Wuli Bridge", is located in Anhai Town, Jinjiang County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. It is the longest existing stone bridge in ancient my country. Anping Bridge spans the beach and connects with Shuitou Town in Nan'an on the opposite bank. According to the "Quanzhou Fuzhi" records: "In the eighth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1138), the Sengzu faction began to build a stone bridge, but it was not completed, and in the 21st year (1151) Zhao Lingjin, the governor of the county, completed it." It took 13 years before and after the bridge construction project was completed. It is a long beam bridge constructed of granite. The grand scale of Anping Bridge, the vastness of the project, and the magnificent structure show the creativity of the working people in ancient China. Now it is a national key cultural relics protection unit. After the completion of Anping Bridge, Ling Jin personally wrote a diary saying: "Its length is eight hundred and ten feet (2255 meters), its width is one foot and six feet (more than 5 meters), and the drainage channel is three hundred and sixty feet." In the east, west and middle of the bridge, there are also five "rest pavilions" with railings on both sides, as well as stone pagodas, stone generals and other cultural relics. The "Shuixin Pavilion" in the middle of the bridge, commonly known as "Zhongting", is the only remaining one of the five pavilions, but it has been rebuilt several times, and it is now a Qing Dynasty building. Around the pavilion, there are thirteen inscriptions on bridge construction in the past dynasties. The stone pillars on the pavilion are engraved with the couplet "There is no bridge in the world to grow this bridge" written by an ancient anonymous person, summarizing that the length of Anping Bridge is the first among ancient bridges. The piers of Anping Bridge have three forms: rectangular, semi-boat-shaped and boat-shaped piers. The bridge foundation adopts the "sleeper lying foundation method". The shape base is very different and innovative. Since the bridge was built in the Southern Song Dynasty, although it has been rebuilt more than ten times, the bridge slab was broken and damaged continuously, and the piers tilted and collapsed. In 1980, the state allocated special funds for comprehensive restoration, and the project was completed in May 1985. Anping Bridge has restored its historical appearance.
