Jiumu Bridge


Seven meters long and 2 meters wide, Jiuwu Bridge is located between Lujialou and Mofanglou at Dongpu Township, Shaoxing County. With one large arch in the middle and two small ones, it is an arched bridge made of stone. The middle large arch spans 4 meters and the two side ones each spans 2 meters. Viewed from a distance, the bridge resembles a wine jar placed upside down in the river, reminding people that they are in a land of wine. The entire structure looks slim, graceful and original. The two stone railings along the bridge pier are decorated Jiumu Bridge at Dongpu with water pattern carvings. On each side of the bridge, flanking the middle bridge arch are two poetic lines making a couplet.The couplet facing east says, Since it was built at Dongpu on the land of Yue, this new bridge has earned its reputation with its shadow on the mirror-like water', and the other facing west writes, 'The center of the northern area of Dongpu is the Land of Wine, to the west of the Bridge is the Goose Pool.' These couplets were composed by Mr. Cao Zhixuan of the board of Recheng School. The construction of this bridge was funded collectively by owners of local wine workshops. South of the bridge at Lujialou is Tang Yuanyuan Wine Workshop. Hence it is called Jiumu Bridge.
