jailcd2019-114： Research on Wind-Rain Bridge in Traditional Chinese Architecture -Take Shuang jiang Bridge as An Example

Abstract

Bridges  are  taken  for  granted  in  the  modern  world  as  utilitarian  structures  and  if noticed  at  all  are remarked upon mainly for the elegance of their engineering structures, but a mere couple of centuries ago many in Europe still had chapels in which prayers for a safe crossing could be said. In the Miao areas of south-west  China,  which remained remote until  around  two  decades  ago,  the  bridges  are  the  principal monuments, elaborately roofed and deco-rated with shrines to various gods, built with pride and at great local cost especially in the long history, it can exist for a long time and is hard to destroy. Our research began with the question according to by using the methods of consulting data, questionnaires and on-site measurement, we summarize the historical and cultural traditions, folk customs and the type of wind rain bridge.   In  this  paper,  the  modern  Wind-Rain  Bridge   Shuang  jiang   Bridge   is   analyzed,   and   the three-dimensional model is built by using CAD software. It makes it easier for us to understand the culture and construction methods of Wind-Rain Bridge in Chinese classical architecture.
