Salt Bridge is located in the middle section of Qingchun Road, across the Zhonghe River. To the south is a beam-type highway bridge for vehicles; to the north is a single-hole stone step arch bridge for pedestrians. By area, the title generally refers to the area around the intersection of Qingchun Road and Zhonghe Road. The Salt Bridge was built before the Song Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the salt boats entering the city from the river and sea were anchored here for questioning, hence the name. There used to be Yanzhou Lane and Huizhou Lane to the southeast of the bridge, where the Yan and Hui gangs of salt merchants lived. In the second year of Tang Jingfu's reign (893), Qian Liu built Luo City. There were ten city gates, one of which was called Yanqiao Gate, located in the west of Yanqiao. When Su Shi learned about Hangzhou, he dredged the Maoshan and Yanqiao rivers to receive water from the river tide and the West Lake. The Yanqiao area became a water and land transportation artery and a distribution center for goods.

"Xian Chun Zhi": In Guangfu Temple, in Yanqiao, the god's surname is Jiang. He is willing to donate money, and the people in the temple worship his image in return. At the beginning of Xian Chun Dynasty, he bestowed the name "Guangfu" on the forehead of the temple. In the sixth year of his reign (1270), he appeased Qian and invited his friends to the court. He made the god and his second brother a marquis, so Yanqiao was also called Guangfu Bridge, with Guangfu Temple on it. . The name of Yanqiao is Huiji Bridge, and there is Huiji Temple, that is, Guangfu Temple, on it. This theory began in the Ming Dynasty. It is recorded in "Chenghua Prefecture Chronicles", "Jiajing Renhe Prefecture Chronicles" and "Wanli Prefecture Chronicles" in the Ming Dynasty. All aspirations follow Ming's aspirations. As for the saying that Yanqiao is also called Lianqiao, it originated from "Three Collections of Hangjun Poems" by Ding Shen and Ding Bing of the Qing Dynasty: Lu Enshou, whose courtesy name was Lianqiao, and whose name was Liangqiao, was from Qiantang. In the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang's reign (1847), he became the magistrate of Tongling County, Anhui Province. After becoming an official, he returned to his hometown and built (probably rebuilt or rebuilt) the Jianghou Temple of the Song Dynasty on the Salt Bridge. The bridge stones were widened, so it was also called Lianqiao. Lu Enshou lived near Yanqiao. He was a kind and down-to-earth man. He built a temple on the bridge for the people. The people nearby respected him and named the bridge after Lu. This is quite reasonable.

The Salt Bridge (Guangfu Bridge, Huiji Bridge, Lianqiao) and the Guangfu Temple (Huiji Temple) on the top of the bridge have been built in ruins throughout the generations. The Yanqiao area has always been a geomantic treasure land where hundreds of industries flourish, merchants converge, and the population flourishes. In 1920, when Yanqiao Street was built, the arch bridge was demolished and converted into a flat bridge. It was rebuilt during the renovation of Zhonghe River in 1986. Guangfu Temple was demolished and rebuilt as "Qingyu Pavilion" funded by Hu Qingyutang Pharmaceutical Factory. The name "Ancient Huiji Bridge" was engraved on the side of the bridge. When Qingchun Road was widened in 1992, the flat bridge was widened into a beam-style highway bridge.

Su Shi knew about Hangzhou and dredged the Maoshan and Yanqiao rivers. "History of the Song Dynasty" contains: "The Lin'an Canal in the city receives the tide, and the sand and mud are turbid, one floods and one silts, and the people living in the house are compared to each other. , abandoned the grass and soil, and filled up the river. In Yuanyouzhong, Su Shi, the guardian, reported that when Xiningzhong was sentenced to Hangzhou, the elders all said that the canal was blocked, and the rate of dredging was often opened every three to five years. Not only did the soldiers and the people work, but the canal was From Qianzhou to Beiguo, it covers a distance of fourteen or five miles through the shopping malls. Every time a general starts work, the market is in a commotion, and public and private commotions arise. If there is mud and water in a certain place, the residents will be in danger of losing their jobs. After receiving heavy bribes, and after the work is completed, the corridors and mansions will be in a mess, and the gaps in the gardens will become mounds and accumulations. The rain poured into the river again, and the residents were tired. If they were separated for three to five years, public and private affairs would be stagnant. Hundreds of boats could be carried on the water, and people and oxen would have to walk thousands of miles. If you can't get out of Guo, ask why it is blocked frequently. It is because the mud and sand in the Yunlongshan and Zhejiang gates have accumulated for a long time and can reach four or five feet. Of course, there is no shortage of shovels and brushes to defend them. Jiang soldiers and various Xiang troops obtained a thousand men. In July, they started dredging the Maoshan and Yanqiao rivers, each of which was more than ten miles away. There was eight feet of water in both of them. Since then, it has been accessible to both public and private boats. For thirty years, the rivers have been dredged. No one has ever opened a river as deep and fast as this."

Tuotuo, the editor of "History of the Song Dynasty", described the situation of Su Shi's dredging of the Yanqiao Canal in the Song Dynasty from a historian's perspective, recording the truth. Indeed, when an official wants to carry out a project, all the subordinates will be revealed. The pure ones will benefit the people, while the dirty ones will make profits from the people. The ugly people will dance in groups, and the people will suffer. What's more, it is a "performance project" for the sake of promotion and fortune, which does not take into account the needs of the people at all, and is pure ignorance of the people and chaos in government. The above records can be used for reference from ancient times to the present.

In the twelfth year of Yuan Zhizheng (1352), the Qihuang army invaded Hangzhou. Fan Zhijing, the governor of Zhejiang Province, died in the battle at Tianshui Bridge, and Hangzhou fell. The provincial conscript Dong Tuanxiao returned to Hangzhou. According to the "History of the Yuan Dynasty: Biography of Dong Tuanxiao": In the twelfth year of Zhizheng (1352), Dong Tuanxiao was ordered to attack Haozhou, and he was also ordered to move troops to the south of the Yangtze River. Then they crossed the river and reached Deqing County, Huzhou, where the Hui and Rao troops had fallen into Hangzhou. Ping Zhangjiao of Jiangsu and Zhejiang asked Tuan Xiao about his plan, and Tuan Xiao said: "Thieves are all barbarians. When they see the treasures and silks of the children in Hangzhou, which are not their ordinary possessions, they will indulge in lust and have no time to prepare. It is better to attack them urgently." Then he marched into Hangzhou. When they arrived at Yanqiao, Tuanxiao's warriors rushed forward and killed several levels, while all the armies attacked him one after another. After seven battles, they chased him to Qinghefang. The thieves fled to the reception temple. Dong Tuanxiao blocked the door and burned it with fire. All the thieves and soldiers were burned to death, and they returned to Hangzhou.

There is Guangfu Temple on the Salt Bridge, dedicated to the three Chiang brothers. According to the "Guangfu Temple Chronicles": the three brothers of the Jiang family, Chongren (Qilang), Chongyi (Eighth Lang), and Chongxin (Jiulang), lived in Jiangcun, Xixi for generations, worked hard to get rich, and moved to Xingdefang (now Zumiao Lane) ). In the first year of Jianyan of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127), the Song Dynasty moved south to Hangzhou. For a time, Hangzhou's residents overflowed, food was in short supply, and the poor people died of hunger in the wild. Jiang Qilang resolutely donated the food he saved at home to the hungry people, saving countless hungry people. The next year, Qilang discussed with his younger brothers, Balang and Jiulang, to imitate the method used by Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, to store grain in Changping warehouses. During the autumn harvest, Qilang spent his family's capital to purchase rice and store it in the warehouse. When there is no harvest in the next year, the people are allowed to bring their own sheng and dou, measure their own rice and grain, and only pay the capital. Therefore, the people respectfully call him "Jiang Ziliang". Jiang Qilang took it as his own duty to help others solve their difficulties. Before his death, he told his two brothers: "You must have a benevolent heart, do good deeds, and travel far and wide." When the people there heard the news of Qilang's death, "They ran around and cried, if Losing one's support." In order to commemorate Qilang's merits, he spontaneously raised funds to build an ancestral hall in Xingdefang, commonly known as "Jiang Xianggong Temple", also known as "Zumiao Temple". This is the origin of Zumiao Lane. After Jiang Qilang's death, Balang and Jiulang still donated money to store grain every year and sold grain at low prices. In the third year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty (1267), Du Zongzhun Jingyin made a memorial. According to the noble character of the Jiang brothers, who "forgot their family for the sake of the country, sacrificed themselves to benefit others, were sincere and long-term, and generously helped the poor", the temple was given the title "Guangfu". ". In the sixth year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty (1270), Jiang Qilang was posthumously granted the title of Marquis of Fushun, Jiang Balang was the Marquis of Fuhui, and Jiang Jiulang was the Marquis of Fuyou. Guangfu Temple was built on the Salt Bridge in recognition of the awards. Therefore, Salt Bridge is also called Guangfu Bridge.

"The Great Qing Dynasty Ceremony": Those listed in the rituals of each province should be worshiped to protect the country and the people. Guangji Fushunhou, Lijifu Huihou, and Lingyingfuyouhou were sacrificed in Renhe County. They were the three Jiang brothers in the Song Dynasty. Their eldest name was Chongren, and their second names were Chongyi and Chongxin. In the spring and Autumn period, the local officials who guarded the place offered sacrifices, offering one sheep and one hog, and knelt three times and kowtowed nine times.

Song Hongmai is good at writing weird novels. He has an article "Wang Li Yao Ya" in "Yi Jian Zhi", which is read as follows: Shi Min, a doctor in Zhongsan, self-built Kangtong and was waiting to be released from prison, and returned to Lin'an. In the former residence of Yanqiao, I took Yu Hou to visit the market. I saw that the man selling duck was actually the old cook Wang Li. At this time, Wang Li also saw his old master, and he came forward to bow to him. He invited him to his home and presented him with a duck. Shi Min asked: How can you walk in the capital during the day if you are already a ghost? Wang Li said: "I have been here since I left my master. Today, three-tenths of Lin'an City are ghosts, who pretend to be officials, monks, Taoists, traders, or prostitutes, interacting with people every day. Let's live in peace." Shi Min asked: "Is this a real duck?" Wang replied: "Of course it is a real duck, bought in the market, ten of them every day, cooked in a pot and stove before dawn, and then brought to the market. I go sell it every day and earn enough to make ends meet. However, it is easy during the day, but miserable at night. I have no place to live, and I often sleep under the chopping board of the meat stall, and I am often chased by dogs." Shi Min was curious and took it. He paid 2,000 yuan to buy a duck from Wang Li, and the next day Wang Li brought four steaming ducks to his old owner. As a result, master and servant often communicated with each other. One day, Shi sighed and said: I am a human being who often gets along with ghosts. I will probably die soon. Wang Li smiled slyly and said, "Master, don't be alarmed. Don't you see the young master's nanny every day?" She is a ghost. So he took out two white stones from his sleeve and gave them to Shi Min, saying: "When she quenches the two white stones in front of her, she will know whether I am lying." Shi Min was horrified when he heard this, because the eldest son's wet nurse had been in his house for thirty years. One day, Shi Nian asked the old woman with a smile: "Some people say you are a ghost?" Although the old woman was very angry, she was not afraid and replied with a smile: "I am already sixty years old, so I am really a ghost." Shi Xiaoconcubine While ironing clothes nearby, Shi threw a stone into the iron. After a while, flames burst out. The old woman's color became miserable, gradually became lighter and lighter, like a shadow in ink, and suddenly disappeared without a trace. Wang Li also never came back.

Since ancient times, ghost skills have been said to be the same, but now Hong Mai's "Yi Jian Zhi" says they are weird and different from "Liao Zhai".
