赵州小石桥修缮纪略

A Brief Account of Renovations of the Minor Stone Brüge (Yongtong Brüdge) at Zhaozhou

摘要:

永通桥俗称小石桥，建于唐代宗永泰初年，位于河北省赵县西门外的清水河上，为“敞肩式”圆弧石拱桥。永通桥以其小巧玲珑，雕刻精湛而著称。永通桥历尽沧桑几经修缮，自明代以来见于文献和碑刻记载的维修即达4次之多。近百年来，损坏日趋严重，主拱券已纵向开裂，桥梁结构岌岌可危。腹拱及桥面风化损坏严重，曾几度坍塌，栏板已残缺不全。本文记录了1984年对永通桥进行修缮的全过程，本次修缮工程符合古建维修原则，既对桥梁结构进行了加固，又保持了原桥的基本尺寸和外观风貌，达到了预期效果。

Abstract:

Yongtong Bridge, commonly known as The Small Stone Bridge, was built in the early years of Emperor Yongtai of the Tang Dynasty and is located on the Qingshui River outside the west gate of Zhao County, Hebei Province. It is an "Open shoulder" style arc stone arch bridge. Yongtong Bridge is famous for its small and exquisite carving. It has been repaired several times through vicissitudes, and since the Ming Dynasty, it has been repaired as many as four times in documents and inscriptions could search. In the past hundred years, the damage has become more and more serious, the main arch has been longitudinally cracked, and the bridge structure is in jeopardy. The ventral arch and bridge deck were badly damaged by weathering, and they collapsed several times, and the railings were mutilated. This article documents the entire process of repairing the Yongtong Bridge in 1984. The repair project conforms to the principle of traditional architecture maintenance, which not only strengthens the bridge structure, but also maintains the basic size and appearance of the original bridge, and achieves the expected results.
