There is a legend in the story about An Lan Bridge:
On May 15th, the eighth year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (183), the ferry capsized and more than 1 people were buried in the belly of fish. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Mr. He, who was a well-known local nosy person. Once he and his wife, Mrs. He, went to visit the mountains and rivers, and when they arrived at the Minjiang River, they saw the official boat ferrying people. They also wanted to go to the other side. When they asked, damn it! One person takes a boat for 1 taels of silver, and the husband and wife cross the river for 3 taels of silver. The behavior of these dog officials makes the couple happy and disappointed.
Back home, Mr. He couldn't sleep all night, thinking about how to build a bridge on both sides of the river to break the dog officer's financial path.
One day, two days and three days, Mr. He thought for three days without eating or drinking. Mr. He was at a loss. On the third night, Mr. He saw Mrs. He embroidering, and saw the cloth, which stood on the frame without falling off. He thought: Why can't I build a cable bridge in the air? Just start, and after a period of hard work and struggle, I finally built it.
Those dog officials remembered Mr. He's story and wanted to get back at him. Because there were no handrails on both sides of the bridge, and it was unstable, it was easy to fall. Unfortunately, an alcoholic was drunk and accidentally drowned when crossing the river. (There are other sayings: when the bridge was not finished, two woodcutter ignored dissuasion, crossed the bridge against the wind and fell into the water and died.
The head of the ferry bought off the government and falsely accused disregard for human life. Mr. He Xiande hates Jiuquan. ), the dog officials seized the opportunity to quickly arrest Mr. He and put him to death. After knowing this, Mrs. He was heartbroken and wanted to throw herself into the river, but she thought that her husband died inexplicably, and she died, which would be sorry for the dead of her husband in the sky, so she was determined to avenge her husband.
One day, when she was walking along the street, she saw a juggler holding two standing sticks with both hands and flying all over. She suddenly thought of installing handrails on the bridge, which made it much safer for people to walk on it. After two days, people casually installed handrails. From then on, people called An Lan Bridge "He Gong He Mu".
Since then, no one has seen Mrs. He. A fisherman said that he saw the figure of He Gong and He Mu in the river, and He Mu fulfilled her husband's wish to accompany him. They enjoyed family happiness in the river, lived with the sun and the moon, and heaven and earth lived together!
The bridge was named "Anlan Bridge" because wooden boards were laid horizontally and bamboo cables were used as fences. Later, it was changed to An Lan Bridge, which meant crossing the river without fear of waves. In order to appreciate the merits of He Xiande and his wife, it is also called "Husband-wife Bridge" and "He Gong He Mu Bridge".
An Lan Bridge is one of the five famous ancient bridges in China, with a total length of 32 meters. It was first called rope bridge or bamboo and rattan bridge, which is related to the materials it was built with. In the Song Dynasty, it was renamed as the "Bridge for Evaluating Things" and was destroyed by war in the late Ming Dynasty.
In ancient times, it was also known as Zhupu Bridge and Xushi Bridge, which were destroyed at the end of Ming Dynasty. In the eighth year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (183), He Xiande and his wife proposed to build a bamboo cable bridge, with wooden boards as the deck and railings beside it, so pedestrians on both sides of the strait could ride out the tide safely, so it was renamed as "An Lan Bridge". In memory of Mr. and Mrs. Ho, it is also called "Couple Bridge". It is the main traffic artery connecting the inland and outer rivers. Extended information
An Lan Bridge is one of the five famous ancient bridges in China, built on the Minjiang River, with a total length of 32 meters.

In the Song Dynasty, it was renamed as the "Bridge for Evaluating Things" and was destroyed by war in the late Ming Dynasty. ?
An Lan Bridge, also known as Zhupu Bridge, Xushi Bridge and Hegong Hemu Bridge in ancient times, was destroyed at the end of the Ming Dynasty. In the ninth year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (184), He Xiande and his wife proposed to build a bamboo cable bridge, with wooden boards as the deck and railings beside it, so that pedestrians on both sides of the strait could tide over the tide safely, so it was renamed as "An Lan Bridge". In memory of Mr. and Mrs. Ho, it is also called "Couple Bridge".
it's the main traffic artery connecting the inland river and the outer river. The original site of the bridge was at Yuzui. In 1974, due to the construction of Waijiang sluice, with the approval of the State Council, the cable bridge was moved down more than 1 meters and built with steel cables. Cable-stayed bridge is one of the suspended transitional bridges created by ancient Chinese people to conquer high mountains and canyons, rapids and rapids, and it is a model of cable-stayed bridge architecture in the world. ?
Cable bridges originated earlier in western Sichuan. The exact date of the construction of the Anlan Cable Bridge is not available, but according to the Records of Huayang Country and Shu, Li Bing is "able". The book "Notes on Water Classics and Rivers" states that "there is a bridge in Fujiang River", which proves that at least the construction of An Lan Bridge will not be later than the construction of Dujiangyan.
"Zhu" means bamboo cable, which is the main building material of ancient cable bridges in western Sichuan, so Anlan cable bridge is also called bamboo bridge, rope bridge, bamboo and rattan bridge, etc.

The Anlan Cable Bridge was built before the Song Dynasty and was destroyed by war in the late Ming Dynasty.
The Minjiang River is raging, and before the cable bridge was built, there was a saying in the folk song that "it's hard to cross the Minjiang River by traveling all over the world".
in p>183, Mr. and Mrs. He Xiande, a private school, led the people in the four townships to start construction and built the predecessor of today's Anlan Cable Bridge.
In p>1964, the ancient bridge was destroyed due to flash floods. After reconstruction, the wooden bridge piles were changed into concrete bridge piles, and the railings were still wrapped with bamboo and rattan.
In p>1974, when the Waijiang Gate was built, the Anlan Cable Bridge was moved down 13 meters from the fish mouth.
