Handan Toddler Bridge is the birthplace of the famous idiom Handan Toddler Bridge. Xuebu Bridge is located in the west section of Qinhe River on Chuancheng Street (Handan Road) in the main urban area of ??Handan City, Hebei Province. It was originally a wooden bridge structure. Because it was often washed away by water, it was rebuilt into an arch-shaped stone bridge in the 45th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. The bridge is 32 meters long, 9 meters wide and 8 meters high. There are 19 panels and 18 pillars on both sides, all of which are carved with stories about historical figures and exquisite lions, monkeys and other animals. There are three bridge holes under the bridge, and four small holes are attached on both sides of the bridge hole. The centers of the three bridge holes are carved with lion heads looking down. Although the bridge is not large in scale, it has a solid structure and beautiful shape, and has the artistic style of national bridge architecture.
In the past, the river was rippling and the willows were shading the banks. It was a major landscape in Handan City. Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Zhu" says: "The floods and turbulence have passed away, and the two rivers are clear. At that time, the Xuebu Bridge was the only bridge across the Qin River, and it was called "Sanfu Lock Key" (meaning the land of Gyeonggi).
The Chuancheng Street where Xuebuqiao is located is a historical street in the War and Han Dynasty. It is the central avenue of the ancient Handan City, the hometown of Qin Shihuang, and an important carrier of the history of Handan.

Next to the ancient bridge is a stone sculpture of a young man crawling behind a pair of graceful footsteps. It vividly depicts the allusion of "Learning to Walk in Handan". This is how it got its name. Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem about "the loss of Shouling's original steps and the laughter of the people of Handan". It was rebuilt after liberation and is now a Handan municipal cultural relic protection unit. /p>

The pedestrian bridge structure
On the river embankments at the north and south ends of the Xuebu Bridge, there is a landscape garden with idioms as the main atmosphere. The fences along the green belt are made into columns, and each column is engraved with an ancient historical relic of Handan. The images reflect the heroic, rugged and tragic heritage of the Yanzhao culture in northern China, including the "Xiangtang Grottoes", a representative of the Northern Qi grotto art, and the "Bronze Bird Spring Deep" embodying Santai in Yecheng, as well as the "Lanling Formation", There are various statues of idioms such as "The Second Patriarch Enlightened Zen", "Tai Chi Zhongxing", "Wang Lang Remains" and so on.

Architectural features
(1) The arc arch form is adopted, which changes the tradition that most large stone bridges in China are semicircular arches.
Most of the arches of ancient Chinese stone bridges are semicircular. This form is more beautiful and complete, but it also has two shortcomings: First, the transportation is inconvenient. Semicircular bridge arches are more suitable for bridges with smaller spans, while larger spans are more suitable. If a semi-circular arch is used for a span bridge, the vault will be very high, resulting in a high bridge and steep slope, making it very inconvenient for vehicles, horses and pedestrians to cross the bridge. Second, the construction is unfavorable. The scaffolding used for the semicircular arch stone masonry will be very high, which increases the risk of construction. To this end, the toddler bridge adopts the form of an arc arch, which greatly reduces the height of the stone arch and achieves the dual purposes of low bridge deck and long span. The transition of the bridge deck is smooth, which is very convenient for vehicles and pedestrians. It also has the advantages of saving materials and construction. Convenience and other advantages.
(2) Adopt open shoulders, that is, set up two small arches at both ends of the large arch. This kind of shoulder arch with a large arch and a small arch has excellent technical performance. First of all, it can increase the flood discharge capacity and reduce the impact of floods on the bridge due to the increase in water volume during flood seasons. Secondly, compared with solid shoulder arches, the open shoulder arch can save a lot of earth and stone materials, reduce the self-weight of the bridge body, thereby reducing the vertical pressure and horizontal thrust of the bridge body on the abutment and foundation, and increasing the stability of the bridge. Thirdly, it increases the beauty of the shape. The four small arches are balanced and symmetrical. The large arch and the small arch form a complete picture, which looks more light and beautiful, reflecting the complete unity of architecture and art. Fourth, in line with the theory of structural mechanics, the shoulder-arch structure puts the bridge in a favorable condition when carrying load, which can reduce the deformation of the main arch ring and improve the bearing capacity and stability of the bridge.
(3) Single hole. Traditional construction methods in ancient China generally use porous forms for longer bridges, so that the span of each hole is small and the slope is gentle, making it easier to build. However, porous bridges also have disadvantages. For example, there are many bridge piers, which is not conducive to boat navigation and hinders flood discharge. The bridge piers are impacted and eroded by water flow for a long time, and they are prone to collapse over time.
