The current Lugou Bridge was not repaired after the war, and which parts are the original objects le

Not all of the Lugou Bridge was restored after the war, and some parts are original objects left over from history. Specifically:

From 1908 to 1949, the Lugou Bridge was not extensively repaired, and only railings and stone lions were added in a few places. In the 1950s, two major repairs were undertaken.

1.1950 Survey: Beijing Municipality commissioned the Road Maintenance Engineering Office of the Construction Bureau to carry out comprehensive maintenance of the Lugou Bridge, and at the same time conduct a general survey of the bridge.

At that time, the overall condition of the Lugou Bridge was still relatively complete, and the main body was stable and solid. The slate carriage lane on the south side of the bridge deck is still relatively flat, and the rest of the road is asphalt surface, which is seriously damaged. Although the stone parts of the bridge railing are damaged, they are still basically complete.

On both sides, there is a lot of soil on the Phnom Penh, the water-dividing tip and the Phoenix Terrace, and it is overgrown with weeds and small trees.

2.1952 Repair: On October 6, 1952, tanks passed over the Lugou Bridge, starting east on the south side of the bridge.

The stone railing between the four and five nodes crashed into the river. The PLA scooped up the stones, and two of them, the lions on the capitals of the pillars, were broken and needed to be reformulated. If a piece of the steeplechase is broken, it can be bonded and reused.

Due to the low level of masonry carving technology in the workshop, two pillars were carved according to one pillar and one lion to replace them.

Therefore, not all of the Lugou Bridge was restored after the war, and some parts are the original ones left over from history.

After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the bridge deck was paved with asphalt, and the trail was widened, and the Shishi Tablet Pavilion was repaired at the same time. In 1961, Lugou Bridge and the nearby county town of Wanping were announced as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. In 1971, the new Lugou Bridge, built to protect the Lugou Bridge and reduce its traffic, was completed, but the Lugou Bridge continued to serve as a transportation task.

In 1986, the Lugou Bridge Historical Relics Restoration Committee was established to restore the original appearance of the Lugou Bridge, and the project removed the asphalt laid after 1949 and the trail widened in 1967, restored the original appearance of the ancient bridge, and moved the traffic of motor vehicles to the adjacent Lugou New Bridge and the Jingshi Expressway built later.

As the oldest existing stone-built arch bridge in Beijing and the place where the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, Lugou Bridge is not only an important cultural resource in Fengtai District, but also a commemorative site for far-reaching national major events. It carries rich historical resources.

Today's Lugou Bridge has become a business card for publicizing the revolutionary tradition of the Chinese nation and carrying out patriotic education. Standing on the Lugou Bridge, the surrounding Wanping City, the Chinese Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, the Yongding River River Ferry Wharf, the Pinghan Railway Bridge Ruins, the Anti-Japanese War Sculpture Garden, etc., together with the Lugou Bridge, constitute a spectacular historical and cultural map.

The Lugou Bridge is full of meters long, wide meters, and up to meters at its widest point. There are 10 piers, a total of 11 holes, the whole bridge body is a stone structure, the key parts are connected by silver ingots and iron tenons, it is the longest ancient stone bridge in North China. As an ancient building with a history of nearly 800 years founded in the 29th year of Jin Dading (1189), it has undergone many renovations of different dynasties and the reconstruction of the Kangxi period, condensing the industrious wisdom of the ancient working people in China, and is the physical embodiment of the height of ancient Chinese bridge construction technology, as well as a kind of inheritance and preservation of ancient architectural style and culture.

It provides valuable help for modern scholars to study ancient architecture and history and culture.

As the sacred site of the outbreak of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it is a direct witness to that period of history, a witness to the indomitable battle of the Chinese nation, and an educational base for contemporary patriotism.

On July 7, 1937, the Japanese invading army entrenched on the west bank of the Yongding River forcibly crossed the Lugou Bridge to Wanping City to search under the pretext that a soldier was missing, but was rejected by the Kuomintang 29th Route Army. As a result, the Japanese invading army launched a large-scale armed attack on Qiaodong, which shocked China and the rest of the world"The Seventy-Seven Incident"。

The "Lugou Bridge Incident" marked the beginning of the Chinese nation's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Since then, the Chinese people have united and fought bravely under the anti-Japanese national united front advocated by the Communist Party of China, and finally defeated the Japanese invaders. At the same time, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression also made the Chinese battlefield an important battlefield in the World Anti-Fascist War and made outstanding contributions to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War.

So far, on the watchpost of Lugou Bridge and the wall of Wanping City, the bullet marks of the Japanese army are still visible. The Lugou Ancient Bridge is only allowed to be passed by pedestrians on foot, and is a national key protected cultural relic. At present, Lugou Bridge, Wanping City, the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Memorial Sculpture Garden and the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Memorial Hall have become the largest patriotic education bases in the country to commemorate the War of Resistance Against Japan.

The Lugou Bridge was completed in March of the third year of the Ming Dynasty (1192) and was built in June 1189;

Lugou Bridge, also known as Lugou Bridge, is about 15 kilometers southwest of Beijing, on the Yongding River in Fengtai District. Named after the crossing of the Lugou River (i.e., Yongding River), it is the oldest existing stone arch bridge in Beijing.

Lugou Bridge is an eleven-hole joint arch bridge, the arch hole gradually increases from both sides to the center of the bridge, the arch coupon span varies from meters to meters, the bridge body is slightly protruding centimeters, and the slope is gentle. The length of the river bridge is meters, plus the approach bridges at both ends, the total length is meters. The total width of the bridge is meters.

The width of the bridge deck is meters. The goose-winged bridge deck on both sides of the bridge is in the shape of a bell mouth, and the entrance is 32 meters wide. Stone railings are set on both sides of the bridge deck, with 140 pillars on the north side and 141 columns on the south side.

The spacing of the pillars is about 2 meters, and the height of the columns is meters. The columns are inlaid with stone railings, and the railings are about meters high.

The whole bridge body is a stone structure, and the key parts are connected by silver ingots and iron tenons, which is the longest ancient stone bridge in North China. In the Travels of Marco Polo it was described as a magnificent stone bridge, and later foreigners called it"Marco Polo Bridge"[1] 。On July 7, 1937, Japanese imperialism launched a full-scale war of aggression against China here.

The Chinese garrison in Wanping City rose up to resist, and the history is known as the "Lugou Bridge Incident" (also known as the "77 Incident"). The Chinese anti-Japanese army fired the first shot of the all-out war of resistance at the Lugou Bridge.

On March 11, 1192 (April 24, 1192), the Lugou Bridge was completed. Jin Zhangzong named "Guangli", because of crossing the Lugou River (that is, Yongding River), it was renamed Lugou Bridge. There are 140 pillars on both sides of the stone carving guardrail, the column head is carved with stone lions, the forms are different, it is recorded that there are 627 originals, and 501 are extant.

Most of the stone lions are from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there are also a small number of gold yuan remains.

Lugou Bridge, also known as Lugou Bridge, was built in the Jin Dynasty and is the oldest and longest 11-hole double-arch stone bridge in North China. Lugou Bridge, with a total length of meters and a width of meters, has a total of 10 piers and 11 bridge holes. On July 7, 1937, Japanese imperialism launched a full-scale war of aggression against China here, and the Chinese anti-Japanese army fired the first shot of the all-out war of resistance at Lugou Bridge, which is known as the "77 Incident" in history.

It is documented:

The construction of the Lugou Bridge was started in June 1189 and completed in March of the third year of the Ming Dynasty (1192).

On July 7, 1937, the Japanese army stationed in China brazenly launched the "77 Incident" (Lugou Bridge Incident), and Japan began a full-scale invasion of China, and the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out. The July 7 Incident was deliberately created by Japanese imperialism in order to realize its ambition to swallow China, and it was the beginning of its all-out invasion of China. All-out invasion of China and the establishment of colonial rule in China have been the long-term policy pursued by Japanese imperialism.

After the July 7 Incident, Japanese imperialism stepped up its aggression against China, which not only threatened the survival of the masses of the people, but also directly threatened the life and death of the Chinese nation. The unprecedented anti-Japanese national united front has fully embodied the idea that "national consciousness prevails over everything" and has produced tremendous national cohesion at the current critical juncture of the great enemy. The national crisis has awakened the Chinese nation, which has been dormant for nearly a hundred years, the ruthless war has educated the people of all nationalities throughout the country, and the entire Chinese people, from the coastal areas to the interior, from the cities to the remote areas, have been mobilized.

The significance of the Lugou Bridge Incident is mainly reflected in the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in China, and in the process of contending with Japanese imperialism, the Lugou Bridge Incident was a symbol of a full-scale war of resistance against Japan, and the final victory in the war was undoubtedly an echo of the Lugou Bridge Incident.

The significance of the Lugou Bridge Incident can be said to be very significant, and for the Japanese aggressors, the Lugou Bridge Incident was a symbol, and the occurrence of the Lugou Bridge Incident indicated the beginning of the Japanese invaders' all-out war of aggression against China.

The Lugouqiao Incident also had an extraordinary impact on China, and the Lugouqiao Incident opened the prelude to China's comprehensive opposition to the Japanese imperialist invasion of China, and also indicated the beginning of the Asian battlefield in the anti-fascist war of the people of the world.

It can be said that the Lugou Bridge Incident has a very important historical position and far-reaching impact, and it is a very clear symbol for China and the whole world.

The significance of the Lugou Bridge Incident is mainly reflected in the foreign wars of modern China, and modern China has always been suffering from foreign aggression, and the Lugou Bridge Incident is a great shame for our country, and it can be said that the beginning of the Lugou Bridge Incident also shows that our country is suffering from the tiger teeth of the Japanese invaders.

Since the beginning of the previous September 18 Incident, China's territory has always been eyed by Japan, and the heroic resistance of the soldiers in Wanping City in China during the Lugou Bridge Incident also shows that the Chinese people have a strong sense of protecting China's territorial integrity, and at the same time, the occurrence of the Lugou Bridge Incident also shows China's all-round resistance to the Japanese invaders.
