2005年,茅以升桥梁委员会认定:重庆是中国唯一的“桥都”。这份荣誉当然让我们骄傲,但“桥都”之名因何而定,重庆桥史又有多深厚,重庆什么时候开始有了第一座现代桥……这些疑问却没有多少人能回答得上来。事实上,这座城市早在北宋就有了第一座石拱古桥,发展至今,桥梁总数达到了上万座,而这个数字还在持续增加。只有当我们认真地将重庆桥史翻阅一遍后,才会发现足以让我们骄傲的不仅仅是“桥都”这样一个称谓,还有这座城市与桥的世代情缘。 In 2005, Mao Yisheng Bridge Committee found that: Chongqing is China’s only “Bridge Capital.” This honor of course makes us proud, but “bridge ” the name of what is the reason, Chongqing bridge history how deep, when did Chongqing start with the first modern bridge ... ... these questions but not many people can Answer up. In fact, the city had the first stone arched bridge as early as the Northern Song Dynasty. Since its establishment to date, the total number of bridges has reached over 10,000, and this figure is still on the rise. Only when we conscientiously read through the history of Chongqing’s Qiaxhiban will we find that it is not merely an appellation such as Qiaodu, but also a generational affinity for the city and bridge.
