The Puji Bridge (simplified Chinese: 普济桥; traditional Chinese: 普濟橋; pinyin: Pǔjì Qiáo), also known as Houchuan Bridge (Chinese: 后川桥) and High Bridge (Chinese: 高桥), is a historic stone arch bridge over the Gaoqiao River (高桥河) in Zunyi, Guizhou, China.
History
The original bridge dates back to the Southern Song dynasty (1127–1279) and was built by Yang Can (杨粲), a local tusi in Guizhou. It was named after Puji Temple, a neighbouring Buddhist temple. It was rebuilt in the following Yuan dynasty (1271–1368). The bridge was destroyed by a catastrophic flood in the Jiajing era (1522–1566) of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) and was restored in the Chongzhen era (1628–1644).
In 1985, it was designated as a provincial level cultural heritage by Guizhou Provincial Government.
Architecture
The bridge was made of red sandstone. It measures 14 metres (46 ft) long, 6 metres (20 ft) wide, and approximately 5 metres (16 ft) high.
