    On the 12th, the National General Defense Department upgraded the flood control level emergency response to the level, and the flood control situation in the south is very serious, and the safety of cultural relics in many places during the flood season is also under major threat. According to incomplete statistics from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, as of 16 o'clock on the 7th, more than 130 immovable cultural relics in 11 southern provinces have been damaged due to floods, including many national and provincial cultural protection units, and some of the destroyed ancient bridges have a history of up to 800 years. According to the cultural and tourism departments of many places, Lecheng Bridge suffered a once-in-a-century flood, Zhenhai Bridge suffered a once-in-50-year flood, and the flood encountered by Rainbow Bridge overflowed the bridge deck about a meter, and the impact and destructive power of the flood was very amazing.

    Heavy rains and blocked floodways caused the old bridge to collapse. Tang Yongcai, head of the cultural relics department of Yongding District, Zhangjiajie City, said that the flash flood struck, scraped down the trees on both sides of the river and washed down, forming a dammed lake next to the bridge, and it was too late to dredge, causing the pier to collapse and the bridge collapsed. <>

    Tang Yongcai believes that in order to cope with the risk of flash floods, floodways will be left at both ends of the bridges when bridges are built in mountainous areas. However, in recent years, the construction of some rural roads and houses has been carried out in violation of regulations, narrowing rivers, blocking floodways, and increasing the risk of collapse of ancient bridges. "It is not uncommon for urban construction such as houses, roads, and dams to crowd out ancient bridges and rivers.

    An expert who has been engaged in cultural conservation work for 38 years believes that too narrow rivers can easily lead to flooding and increase the risk of "water damage" of cultural relics. Some cultural preservation experts believe that the long-term opening to traffic has also increased the burden on the ancient bridge. The reporter found that before the damage, some ancient bridges were still serving municipal traffic, such as Lecheng Bridge and Matouxi Wind and Rain Bridge, which were passable for pedestrians and vehicles.

    Some people in a county in Anhui Province reported to reporters that the county's implementation of the "vehicle ban" on ancient bridges was not strict, resulting in these ancient bridges, which were originally built only to carry vehicles, horses, people and livestock, and were run over by heavy vehicles for a long time. <>

    At present, in accordance with the requirements of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, the cultural relics departments in various localities have actively deployed and carried out the investigation of potential safety hazards in cultural relics and the emergency work of cultural relics protection. For the damaged ancient bridges, the local authorities are also actively classifying and implementing policies. Experts suggest that the daily "physical examination" and "consultation" of ancient bridges and other cultural relics should be strengthened, minor problems should be repaired in a timely manner, and protection plans should be prepared as soon as possible for structural safety problems.

    In addition, the person in charge of the cultural preservation department in many places reflected that the current weakening trend of cultural relics management institutions in grassroots cities and counties deserves attention. In some cities and counties, it is difficult to include the funds for the protection of cultural relics in the financial guarantee, and some localities are still reducing the number of full-time staff. <>

After the flood broke out, the local cultural relics bureau immediately rushed to the site to investigate, and a series of measures will be taken to repair the ancient bridge.

    Lecheng BridgeAlso known as:"Sankei Bridge" and "Namhe Bridge".It occupies an important position in the history of transportation in southern Anhui, and is also the second largest stone slab bridge in southern Anhui. It was built in the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty, and was washed away by floods in the early Qing Dynasty, and later repaired and completed in the Qing Dynasty. The bridge deck is 156 meters long, 9 meters wide and 9 meters high.

    There are 11 bridge holes in total, the scale of the bridge holes is different, the middle hole is meters, the bridge deck is a stone slab, the bridge deck railing is made up of stone pillars and plain stone slabs, and the railing is high meters. Year 2004It has been established as a key cultural relics protection unit in Anhui Province. At the southern end of Chengle Bridge is the former Sanxi Old Street, the ancient bridge, the ancient town, and the ancient ferry, which deduce the joys and sorrows of history.

    According to the incomplete statistics of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, there are now more than 130 immovable ancient cultural relics affected by the flood and suffered heavy losses, such as the Rainbow Bridge, Suile Bridge, Zhenhai Bridge and other ancient bridges have witnessed the development of history, but now they have been washed away by the flood historical relics. However, the severity of the flood is not unstoppable, and the probability of damage will be smaller if you can do a good job of scientific defense before the flood occurs.

    Secondly, every cultural relic is the national glory of Chinese culture, and protecting them is to inherit Chinese culture and trace the cultural roots. At the same time, it is also a beautiful treasure left for ancient Chinese architecture, so we should have more awe and urgency for ancient cultural relics, so that each cultural relic is full of vitality and vitality.

    Finally, it is hoped that the damaged ancient bridge can be repaired as soon as possible, so that they can continue to precipitate the relics of history and infect future generations.

The current 11-hole stone arch bridge was built into the current 150-meter long bridge, 6 meters wide and 9 meters high. I hope that if I have the chance, I will be able to rebuild this 400-year-old bridge in the future.

    Lecheng Bridge, also known as "Sanxi Bridge" and "Nanhe Bridge", was once also used as a transportation hub for local connections to other places, benefiting the peopleIn 004, it was identified as a key cultural relics protection unit in Anhui Province。The flood is merciless, and the relevant departments are hopedAttach importance to the protection of cultural relicsAs we all know, the protection of cultural relics is not only conducive to inheriting and carrying forward the excellent culture and national spirit of the Chinese nation and enhancing national cohesion, but also as a material relic of history, is the precious wealth left by our ancestors, and can also promote the development of cultural exchanges and friendly relations between China and other countries in the world, and is a witness and an important carrier of China's long history and culture, and a spiritual bond that maintains the unity and unity of the Chinese nation. We must pay attention to it and not let such regrets happen again.

    This year has been a year of great hardship and a series of blows, from the novel coronavirus to floods, which have left us heartbroken. In such a rainy summer season, flood prevention work is also urgent, and intensifying flood prevention work will also effectively curb the harm caused by floods.

    Some of the extant stone components are rough filler stones, which makes it difficult to judge their original location. On the other hand, the carvings are exquisite, and the location features are obvious. There are three main types of stone components that can be repaired and restored to safety:

    Stone railings, frontal stone and columns. As a result of the above, the stone components of the stone arch bridge suffered new impact damage, and the placement of the components was no longer the original excavated position, which made the restoration work more complicated.

    After scanning, the scan data is entered into the computer and then transferred to the internal work stage. The main purpose of this work is to obtain the combined repair scheme of the remaining components of the Lianbi Bridge through the computer virtual restoration study of the components. The working method is to explore the relative position relationship of each component in the virtual 3D space to guide the design and construction of the actual restoration.

    Floor plan of processed raw data obtained by scanning fences and columns. The preliminary work of component splicing research mainly includes the processing of scanned original data, the classification and elimination of various components, including component numbering, fragment splicing, and directional rotation adjustment. Finally, they are archived separately as the basis for the next step of the virtual splicing of the components.
