Compared with the Zhaozhou Bridge, the Italian Marco Polo admired the Lugou Bridge very much

In his travelogue, Marco Polo praised the bridge as "unique in the world" and admired the lions carved on the railings of the bridge, which together "constitute a beautiful spectacle".

Leaving the capital, sixteen kilometers west came to a river called the Yongding River, which meandered into the sea. Boats come and go on the river, and sailboats are weaving. They carry large quantities of goods.

There is a beautiful stone bridge over the river (i.e., Lugou Bridge), which is perhaps the largest stone bridge in the world. The bridge is 300 steps long and eight steps wide; Ten people rode side by side on horseback, and they did not feel the inconvenience of crampedness.

Compared with Zhaozhou Bridge, the stone lion of Lugou Bridge is more beautiful.

The Zhaozhou Bridge is very majestic, with a total length of meters, a width of meters at both ends, and a slight narrowness in the middle, with a width of 9 meters. The design of the bridge is completely scientific, and the construction technology is ingenious. Zhang Jiazhen of the Tang Dynasty said that it was "peculiar, and people don't know what it does".

The characteristics of this bridge are: (1) The whole bridge has only one large arch, which is one meter long, which can be regarded as the longest stone arch in the world at that time. The bridge hole is not an ordinary semicircle, but resembles a bow, so that the road above the arch has no steep slope, which is convenient for cars to get up and down.

2) On each shoulder of the large arch, there are two small arches. (This creative design) not only saves stones, reduces the weight of the bridge, but also increases the amount of water passing through the bridge when the river is surging, and reduces the impact of floods on the bridge. At the same time, the arch is added to the arch, and the bridge body is also more beautiful.

3) The arch is made up of 28 arch circles, just like so many bows of the same shape are joined together to form an arc-shaped bridge hole. Each arch ring can independently support the weight above, and if one is broken, the others will not be affected. (4) The structure of the whole bridge is symmetrical and harmoniously matched with the surrounding scenery; The stone railings on the bridge are also carved in a quaint and beautiful way.

Zhang Ling of the Tang Dynasty said that looking at this bridge from a distance is like "the first moon rises out of the clouds, and the rainbow leads the stream". The high technical level and immortal artistic value of Zhaozhou Bridge fully demonstrate the wisdom and strength of China's working people. Li Chun, the main designer of the bridge, was an outstanding craftsman, and his name is engraved in the inscription at the head of the bridge.

The lord of the house has great wisdom.

1.Famous, the oldest, ingenious, outstanding.

2.A long history.

Exquisite structure. High strength, strong and durable.

The form is beautiful. 3.It illustrates the sturdy characteristics of the Lugou Bridge. 4.

The stone arches to the left and right of the large arch are not symmetrical in pairs. The text says that "the length of each stone arch varies, from 16 meters to meters", which shows that the length of the bridge arch is not symmetrical. This is the author's conclusion after verifying the length of each stone arch, and the figures cited are accurate, reflecting the accuracy of the language of the expository text.

5."Almost" is a restriction on "parallel to the river", meaning close to "parallel to the river", emphasizing the degree of flatness of the road surface.

6.This sentence uses a rhetorical method of analogy and personification. This kind of description can not only make the reader have a specific feeling about the beautiful form of the Lugou Bridge, but also make the article colorful.

Clearly refu: Zhaozhou Bridge details the structure, and Lugou Bridge details the value, including the art value and the historical value.

Clear: When introducing the two bridges, the geographical location, the construction time, the length and width of the bridge, the structure, the artistic value and the evaluation of the bridge are explained. From the outside, Zhaozhou Bridge is a single arch, Lugou Bridge is a joint arch, only one can not reflect the whole of China's stone arch bridge, choose two bridges, indicating that the selection of materials is representative.
