中國紅：中國古橋（簡體書）

《中國紅．中國古橋》講述了中國古橋的誕生與發展、橋樑的建築藝術，重點介紹了中國各地留存至今的歷史名橋。我們希望以中國歷史上的古橋為切入點，通過介紹古橋背後所聯繫的歷史傳統與文化，拉近讀者與中國傳統文化的距離。

《中國紅?中國古橋(漢英對照)》由喬紅編著：在中華大地上，隨處可見各式各樣的古橋。在材質上，有木橋、竹橋、石橋、磚橋、鐵橋；在建筑形式上，有梁橋、索橋、拱橋、浮橋等等。這些各種各樣的橋梁作為古代工程技術發展的結晶，千百年來不僅溝通著交通要道，維系著經濟貿易的命脈，同時也傳承著中國深厚的傳統文化，反映了古人的建筑技術和審美情趣。這些古橋以或雄偉、或軒朗、或柔美的身姿點綴著錦繡河山。

The beginning of the Wei (220-280)and Jin (265-420) Dynasties witnessed the development of ancient bridge building at its prime time. Especially from the Sui (581-618) and Tang (618-907) Dynasties to the Song Dynasty(960-1279), China became the most advanced country in the world with strong national power,social stability, peaceful unification, and well-developed industry, commerce,transportation, science and technology.After the East Jin Dynasty, many imperial officials and their families started to move south. Consequently the economic center began to switch from around the Yellow River Basin to the Yangtze River Basin enabling rapid economic development in southeast of China, a region of many rivers and waterways. Strong economic growth in turn stimulated the development of bridge building in that area. Many world famous bridges emerged during that time including the Zhaozhou Bridge, the world's oldest open-spandrel stone arch bridge invented by Li Chun, a master stonemason in the Sui Dynasty; Rainbow Bridge (Hong Qiao), a timber arch bridge of the post-and-beam structure invented by bridge builders in the Northern Song Dynasty; and Wan'an Bridge built by Cai Xiang of the Northern Song Dynasty.All these bridges became well-known in the bridge building history of the world. Looking back at the Chinese bridge building history, one cannot help to notice that all important inventions and achievements including the world's first of its kind bridges were built during this period.
