China - Guangji Bridge 廣濟橋

 

Stamp Issue : 2009-11-16 

Guangji Bridge (aka Xiangzi Bridge) is a pontoon bridge situated in the east of Chaozhou in Guangdong Province. Crossing the Han River, the bridge is renowned as one of the four most famous ancient bridges in China with the other three being the Zhaozhou Bridge, Luoyang Bridge and Lugou Bridge.
Built in 1170 during the Southern Song Dynasty, originally a wooden pontoon bridge, the stone bridge took 57 years to complete, was 515 meters long and known as Jizhou Bridge. The two beamed sections were supported by 18 piers. Due to turbulent current, a bridge could not be built in the middle section that was about 100 meters wide. Small ferryboats were used to transport between the two beamed sections instead.
Renovated in 1435 (the 10th year of Xuande Empeor of the Ming Dynasty), the bridge was extended by erecting five more piers and 12 pavilions. It was renamed to Guangji Bridge. During the reign of Zhengde Emperor (1505–1521), another pier was erected which gave a total of 24 piers, all made in granite. The two beamed sections were connected by chaining 18 shuttle boats to form a pontoon which served as a gate that could be open and close. The boats could be disconnected to allow large boats and rafts passage, and then reconnected to return to their original position. This was the first switchable stone bridge in China and in the world, an innovation that set a precedent in bridge-building history.
Guangji Bridge was renovated many times since. In 2003, the bridge was fully restored to its original appearance and completed in June 2007.

Jade Belt Bridge (Yudai Qiao, aka Camel Back Bridge) is one of the six famous bridges in the Summer Palace in Beijing. Situated on the West Dike (Xidi) of Kunming Lake, the bridge is so highly arched like a camel's back that the single arch spans 11.38 meters and is about 7.5 meters high. During the reign of the Qianlong Emperor of Qing Dynasty (1736-1795), Jade Belt Bridge was built in the years 1751 to 1764.
The bridge is built with marble and other white stone. The pointed arch with ornate marble-carved balustrades and the contour lines from two sides of the bridge are woven extraordinary elegantly and resembles a jade belt. Under the bridge is spring water from Jade Spring Hills (Yuquan Shan) to inlet of the Kunming Lake. A passage to Jade Spring Hills, the clearance of the arch allows the tall dragon barges to sail under the bridge easily.

玉帶橋，舊名俗称駝峰橋，是北京頤和園裏著名六橋之一，位於園內昆明湖西堤上。該橋單孔高如駝峰，淨跨11.38公尺，高約7.5公尺，建於清乾隆(西元1736-1795年)年間之西元1751-1764年。
該橋全部用玉石琢成，橋面是雙反向曲線，組成波形線橋型，配有精製白石欄杆，顯得格外優雅。蛋尖形橋拱，特別高聳，好似玉帶。橋下原為玉泉山泉水注入昆明湖的入水口，也是乘船至玉泉山的通道，高桿龍駁船也能從橋下通過。
