Qinghua Rainbow Bridge was a large stone beam bridge in the town of Qinghua, Wuyuan County, Jiangxi, China.[1] [2] The bridge went across the Le'an River.[1] [2] The bridge was 1400NaN0 long and had 3.10NaN0 wide, with 4 piers and 5 bridge openings.[1] [2]
The name of "Rainbow" derives from Tang dynasty (618 - 907) Chinese poet Li Bai's poem Climbing Xuancheng Xie Tiao North Tower in Autumn (Chinese: 秋登宣城谢眺北楼).[1] [2]
According to The Records of Wuyuan Scenery (Chinese: 婺源风物录), Qinghua Rainbow Bridge was built in the Song dynasty (960 - 1279), but according to Genealogy of Hu Family in Qinghua (Chinese: 清华胡氏仁德堂世谱) and Wuyuan County Annals (Chinese: 婺源县志), it was built in Qianlong period (1736 - 1796) of the Qing dynasty (1644 - 1911).[1] [2]
On April 25, 2006, it was listed among the sixth group of "Major National Historical and Cultural Sites in Jiangxi" by the State Council of China.[1] [2]
On the afternoon of July 8, 2020, Qinghua Rainbow Bridge was devastated by flood.[3]
