The Tishan Bridge (simplified Chinese: 题扇桥; traditional Chinese: 題扇橋; pinyin: Tíshàn Qiáo) is a historic stone arch bridge over a stream in Yuecheng District of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China. The bridge is 3.8 metres (12 ft) long and 4.3 metres (14 ft) wide.
Etymology
Tishan Bridge is named after the calligrapher Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin dynasty (266–420) who wrote an inscription on an old woman's fan here.[1]
History
The original bridge dates back to the Eastern Jin dynasty (266–420). The current structure was rebuilt in 1828, during the reign of Daoguang Emperor of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911).[2]
On 6 May 2013, it was listed among the seventh batch of "Major National Historical and Cultural Sites in Zhejiang" by the State Council of China.[3]
