Later, the reconstruction was funded by Shang Shu of the Ming Dynasty. Later, in order to remember his merits, his bones were buried in the screw mountain opposite the Sanyan Bridge. Whenever the sun sets in the South Lake, three rays of sunshine shine on the tomb of Shangshu through bridge opening, which means "thousands of people make friends every day, and see thousands of lights at night" to express their respect and nostalgia for him.
The present Sanyan Bridge was rebuilt by Zhong Yunqing, the envoy of salt transportation between Huai River and Huai River in Qing Dynasty. Its foundation and completion spanned two emperors. Sanyan Bridge has been listed as a provincial key protected cultural relic.

As a Yueyang person, you should know Yueyang. South Lake is rich in history and culture, and there is a beautiful story behind every scenic spot.
Fang calls a spade a spade. You must know a Yueyang native. Born in 1488 and died in 1577, Zhong Min, now a native of Shapi Village, Yanglin Township, Yueyang County. Zheng De sixteen years, palace examination Hanlin, later tired of being an official, went to the book department and official department. He is an honest official who has made many contributions to his hometown and is praised by the ruling and opposition parties.
According to legend, Fang Dulong asked the court to rebuild the Sanyan Bridge. Due to the limited funds allocated by the state treasury, migrant workers have to undertake heavy work because they don't have enough to eat, and the progress of the project is slow. After learning that the imperial envoys and the residence of Yuezhou government were coming to visit Sanyanqiao, Fang Shangshu ordered the migrant workers to take out buckwheat Baba to eat. When an imperial envoy arrived at the construction site, it happened that the migrant workers were eating. He saw Fang Shangshu and migrant workers eating black Baba, so he took a piece of Baba from Fang Blunt's hand and took a bite. It is bitter and astringent and difficult to swallow. He said with emotion, Fang's adult really ate bitter buckwheat to repair the bridge! An imperial envoy returned to Beijing to play the emperor's reward for repairing the bridge. Since then, the story of "three-eye bridge penance" has spread to this day.
Open the history of Yueyang people, from Qu Yuan, represented by Chu Ci, to the man of the hour left, to the founding father. There are countless high-ranking officials and generals, big and small, coming out of Yueyang. It is no exaggeration to describe Yueyang with outstanding people.

Sanyan Bridge is located near Qijialing in the eastern suburb of Yueyang City, on the sparkling surface of South Lake. The Third Eye Bridge is firmly located in it, which divides the huge South Lake into two parts.
The whole bridge is 48.6m long, 8.8m wide and15m high. Three holes, with the middle hole span of 8m and arch height12.55m.. Even if the water level rises during the flood season, ordinary ships can be unimpeded.
The three-eye bridge is beautifully built and has a solid structure. The bridge body is made of granite, the bridge deck is covered with hemp slabs, and there are stone guardrails one meter high on both sides of the bridge. The huge stone lions at both ends of the bridge are magnificent and lifelike. Qiaodong Shishi, tall and powerful, is a lion with a little lion on his back and hydrangeas on his feet. Step on a little lion and make a look for charity. It's a lioness.
Because the Sanyan Bridge was destroyed and rebuilt by floods for many times, the craftsmen who built the bridge in Qing Dynasty thought that centipedes could subdue the dragons making waves in the river, and used the principle of "objects and images taking photos with each other" to carve 8 centipede reliefs1.8m on the bridge body and pier. For hundreds of years, as craftsmen prayed at that time, Sanyan Bridge was still intact under the impact of mountain torrents and wild waves of lakes.
Three-hole bridge opening, seen from a distance, seems to have three eyes, looking in all directions. Why is the bridge opening with three eyes instead of two or four? Ancient philosophers in China believed that the three fables represented the second life, the second life, the third life and the third life respectively. Third, it represents the most basic concept of complex number.
Since ancient times, the ancient bridge with busy traffic has long been overwhelmed. In order to adapt to the development of the times and reduce the burden of the ancient bridge, people built a new Nanhu Bridge next to it. 1996 Reconstruction of Yuexing Highway and completion of Nanhu Bridge.
In 20 17, Nanhu bridge was demolished and a wider and longer new Nanhu bridge was built. Two bridges stand side by side, one is young and the other is ancient, which has become a unique scenery on the South Lake in Yueyang.
In 20 16, Yueyang municipal government reformed Sanyan Bridge, making the ancient bridge undertake the traffic mission and become a cultural landscape with historical significance on the South Lake green belt.

Shangshushan Park records the most primitive memory of this ancient bridge. Approaching Shangshushan Park, you are greeted by three majestic words on the mountain: "Shangshushan".
Shangshushan started from Wuli, Shangshushan, and there are three Shangshu born in Yueyang of Ming Dynasty: Fang Chong, Shangshu of Ming Dynasty, Yan Yishou, Shangshu of Jiajing Criminal Department, Shangshu Xie and Shangshu of Ministry of Industry. Fang Shangshu's tomb is not in Shangshushan Park, but on the snail mountain separated by Sanyanqiao and a river.
1994, Yueyang municipal government built a park in Laohushan in memory of three ministers in Yueyang history, and renamed it Shangshushan.
Climb the stone steps and the pavilion is located in it. Dense leaves covered the sky, and the sun shone through the cracks in the leaves.
Stone paths crisscross, pavilions are strewn at random, and Cao Fangting's couplets, "Cuidui, Xiangdao Moon, Liu Fang Shangshu Mountain, one hundred generations", praise Fang Shangshu.

Fang Blunt Tomb is located in Luosi Mountain, Nanhu, Yueyang City, facing Sanyan Bridge across the water, with a height of about 30 meters and a total area of about 2,500 square meters.
After the storm, Fang Blunt's tomb was badly damaged, only a bluestone tombstone with vague inscriptions and moss all over it.
At the beginning of 20 13, the new project of Yueyang Library was located in Luosi Mountain, Nanhu Lake.

After passing the Sanyan Bridge, craftsmen are polishing and drawing the historical relief murals of Sanyan Bridge, and the traffic on the new Nanhu Bridge not far behind the bridge is endless.
The slate on this ancient bridge has been changed again and again. What I can't forget is Uncle Fang's complacency and the first shovel to overcome all difficulties.
Mimi's South Lake witnessed Fang Bronte expressing his attachment to his hometown with his actions. Fang outspoken is an example for scholars and politicians, and also an example for the benefit of the people.

Today's three-eye bridge is no longer the only way for people. It lies quietly on the shore of the South Lake and appears in people's field of vision with a brand-new attitude.
Like a dedicated volunteer, it silently guards the beautiful South Lake and provides convenience for every tourist. It is more like an old man watching history, telling the past and past of the ancient city in silent language.
From Teng in the Song Dynasty, Fang Chong in the Ming Dynasty to Zhong Yunqing in the Qing Dynasty, the three-eye bridge has always been the link between Yueyang and Nantong Road.
An ancient bridge, bearing in mind the painstaking efforts of the three sages, seems to be telling: true people with lofty ideals are all based on people's livelihood. Be an official, benefit one party, and do not forget to seek welfare for the people.
The sages have passed away, but the spirit lives on.
