Dad: Save one million, go back to the countryside to live broadcast farming

Chapter 71 Number One Scholar Bridge

Nowadays, each of these old houses from the Ming and Qing Dynasties is worth a lot of money.

The most valuable thing is undoubtedly the carved beams and paintings inside, but they were severely damaged a few decades ago.

Not much is left.

But the rest have all become protected cultural relics.

There used to be people from outside who wanted to steal these and sell them for money, but they were caught on the spot by the villagers.

What happened that time was so bad that it even alarmed the provincial cultural relics bureau. The man also liked to bring a pair of silver bracelets, plus permanent food and accommodation.

Because of that incident, the ancient village is still well preserved.

Of course, over time, homes inevitably age.

This old house has a long lifespan.

Hundreds of years have passed, and it is still standing, which is ironclad proof.

After Xiao Nuomi finished taking photos, she took Ji Yi and Shen Yue to take photos.

Euphemistically called taking a family photo.

Ji Yi and Shen Yue had no choice but to take a few photos.

After taking photos, a few people stayed on the bridge for a while.

Lin Yi told Xiao Nuomi about the past of this bridge.

At that time, experts discovered the historical and cultural value of the bridge, so they gave suggestions to protect the bridge so that no one could cross it.

Of course the villagers disagreed. At that time, everyone had not moved outside and still lived in the old houses. The bridge was the passageway into and out of the village.

So the county selected the site and built a new bridge not far from the bridge.

Ji Yi pointed not far away: "It's right there."

Xiao Nuomi saw that there was no bridge not far away.

But when she rubbed her eyes and looked carefully, she found that there were indeed traces of a bridge.
To be precise, there are traces of the remains of the bridge.

"Dad, that bridge was built when you were a child. This bridge was built in ancient times. Why?" Xiao Nuomi felt that her little head was running out of melon seeds.

Because according to her understanding, aren't new things more durable than old things?

And the current technology should be far superior to that of the past.

Then why is the newly built bridge! ! !

She was puzzled, but deeply shocked.

Lin Yi rubbed Xiao Nuomi's hair: "There is a word called survivor bias. Think about it, ancient bridges can span hundreds of years of history and have been preserved to this day. The quality of this bridge was also the same in ancient times. It is a masterpiece. Countless bridges must have collapsed in the past hundred years, and although the current bridge seems to be more technologically advanced, it still has the existence of shoddy engineering."

Xiao Nuomi suddenly realized: "That bridge must be a shoddy project."

"This is not very clear, but it is true that it is not strong." Lin Yi smiled slightly. A few years after the bridge was built, it encountered a flash flood that had never happened in a century. Many villagers witnessed this scene that day. The flash flood was accompanied by mudslides, directly The newly built reinforced concrete bridge was washed away and collapsed.

Under the impact of the mudslide, the stone arch bridge remained intact.

Since then, the county has never mentioned building the bridge again.

Just kidding, neither modern bridge technology nor the irresistible mudslides destroyed this ancient stone arch bridge.

Still need protection? ?

People walking and driving pass by without any problems.

To this day, this bridge is still the passage in and out of the ancient village.

Shen Yue also heard about this for the first time, and smiled slightly, what a contrast.

However, this bridge is really as solid as a rock, which is admirable. The skills of ancient craftsmen are so superb.

Hundreds of years later, it is still strong.

The years are mottled, but some wind and frost are carved on the bridge.Timeless.

"Mom and Dad, come and see, there is a stone tablet here." Xiao Nuomi jumped over the bridge and found a stone tablet beside the bridge.

Ji Yi had no impression of the existence of this stone tablet.

That should be developed by the Cultural Tourism Group.

"This stele didn't exist when I was a child." Lin Yi stepped towards the direction of the stele.

"Brother Yi, that should be a new building. It seems that part of the development in the past few years has been carried out. There are still a lot of words on it." Shen Yue looked at the stone tablet at the head of the bridge and said to Lin Yi.

During the development, the villagers were not allowed to come in, and the back was abandoned, so no one took care of it, so Shen Yue had never seen the stone monument.

"Mom, what words are written on this? I only know the first two words, Taoyuan." Xiao Nuomi asked Shen Yue curiously.

"I'll take a look."

Shen Yue started to read.

"Taoyuan Stone Arch Bridge, built during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty"

Lin Yi also looked at the text recorded on it. He should have referred to the county and village chronicles to summarize the history of the bridge, and then used written records to erect the inscription.

Let the tourists behind you know the historical and cultural value of this bridge.

Otherwise, in everyone's eyes, this is just an ancient bridge.

I don’t even know what it’s called or what cultural heritage it has.

Lin Yi stood on the stone arch bridge and gazed into the distance, looking at the valleys, streams, and vast forests.

The water friends in the live broadcast room were also very curious about the stone arch bridge under Lin Yi and the others.

"This stone arch bridge was built in Wanli, so it's hundreds of years old. My God, the wisdom of the ancients is so great."

"That's necessary. The wisdom of ancient craftsmen is something that people today sometimes can't do. The primary school textbooks don't have the Zhaozhou Bridge, but that is also a stone arch bridge. It is more than 1000 years old and is still intact to this day."

"There is also the Marco Polo Bridge, which is also a stone arch bridge."

"I didn't expect that Taoyuan Village would have a stone arch bridge. Could it be that there were some important figures in the history of Taoyuan Village?"

The water friends really guessed it right.

Lin Yi told friends that in the Ming Dynasty, Taoyuan County produced a champion.

Although the Number One Scholar was not from Taoyuan Village, one of his uncles was from Taoyuan Village.

When a person attains the Tao, a chicken or a dog rises to a high level, and when the number one scholar becomes prosperous, his uncle will naturally enjoy the blessings as well.

Most of this village was the property of the great uncle at that time, and this bridge was built by the great uncle to facilitate his uncle's travel.

Therefore, the villagers in Taoyuan Village call this stone arch bridge another name, Zhuangyuan Bridge.

The water friends in the live broadcast room suddenly realized that this bridge has such a history.

"Good guy, I thought the number one winner was from Taoyuan Village, but I didn't expect it was just an uncle."

"Nonsense, if Taoyuan Village had the Number One Scholar, there wouldn't be any access to it now. Ancient family tradition can be passed down for a long time, and there are still many millennium-old families with great energy."

Shen Yue pointed to a part of the stone tablet: "Brother Yi, it also said that the number one scholar built a bridge to facilitate the local villagers."

A bridge is built across the water, with beautiful artistic conception, carved decorations, and various shapes.

Shen Yue and Lin Yi chatted with water friends about the content of the stone tablet.

Of course, the topic cannot avoid mentioning the stone arch bridge.

"Dad, what is the number one scholar?" Xiao Nuomi was also listening with interest, interjecting questions from time to time.

"The number one scholar is the person who was the best at studying in ancient times and ranked number one in the country in the exam." Shen Yue said.
