Recently, "Sichuan News Network" paid attention to the news of the Sichuan Museum's "Dragon Walking China" New Year Special Exhibition, and today's simulcast observes us from cultural relics to reality, from ancient times to the present, to explore the DNA of the dragon.
In this exhibition, there are two Qinglong stone carvings from the Song Dynasty Stone Carving Museum in Luxian County, Sichuan, which will instantly transport you to the hometown of Longqiao, which has a history of thousands of years. The history of the construction of the Dragon Bridge in Luxian County can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty, and there are also a large number of records of new construction, reconstruction or maintenance in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The most famous is this dragon brain bridge, on its piers, the carved dragon and other mascots, eyes, ears, nose, full of rhyme, can be described as lifelike.
We see this dragon carving now, there is a yang carved king character on the top of its head, which represents that it is the king dragon, in ancient times, when the water rose, the king lung led the dragon to protect our dragon bridge, which is also the effect that the ancestors wanted to achieve by building the bridge, hoping that the dragon would give us the town water protection bridge, Anlan Pingbo. Xu Chaogang, deputy research librarian of the Lu County Cultural Relics Protection Center, introduced.
The bridge is built because of production and life, the dragon is carved because of the flood resistance, there are many such dragon bridges in Lu County today, most of them are still in use, most of them are erected on the rural rivers, the hard river beach, the dragon head is facing the direction of the water flow, and the residents on both sides of the river have provided convenience for passage for generations. And to build such a dragon bridge is not easy for the ancients.
They dare to do such things and work together, reflecting a spirit of daring to be the first, pioneering and enterprising, and like a dragon. Xu Chaogang, deputy research librarian of the Lu County Cultural Relics Protection Center, said.
The Dragon Bridge is a great wonder of ancient Chinese bridge architecture. Each dragon carving has a different style and is not the same, which also represents the inheritance and diversification of dragon culture. Every New Year's Festival, the intangible cultural heritage of the rain altar color dragon will dance, as a kind of prayer for the wind and rain, the traditional folk culture of the five grains, the rain altar color dragon performance, the dragon dancer is required to "human and dragon unity", in addition to testing the waist strength, arm strength, more important is the close cooperation of the team. When the dragon head and the treasure are entangled, it is called a magnificent and indomitable!
With the passage of time, the DNA of the dragon has been passed down in this land, and the hometown of Dragon Bridge has also become known to more and more people, and many tourists have come here, not only to see the style of Dragon Bridge, but also to feel the long-standing dragon culture.
