建筑特色
逢渠橋,它的景深,至(zhi)少有兩個層(ceng)次(ci),一是橋的建筑(zhu)藝術底(di)蘊(yun);一是它的宗教文化底(di)蘊(yun)。
逢渠橋,建(jian)于(yu)北(bei)宋紹(shao)圣五年(1089),它的空間跨度(du)(du)雖然只(zhi)有4.2米,但(dan)是它的時間跨度(du)(du)是整(zheng)整(zheng)十(shi)一(yi)個世紀。目前江西(xi)省(sheng)內僅存尚未遭劫的三座(zuo)宋代石橋之一(yi)。“縱向單(dan)卷并拱(gong)(gong)”、“無鉸拱(gong)(gong)結”和“無漿干砌”三大工藝特色(se),足以(yi)令當代莫及(ji)。游人只(zhi)要(yao)躋(ji)身橋底,可以(yi)分明地(di)數清全橋77塊石塊,怎(zen)樣排成(cheng)7個單(dan)拱(gong)(gong),每(mei)排單(dan)拱(gong)(gong)怎(zen)樣由11塊石料卷成(cheng)一(yi)拱(gong)(gong)。路(lu)對路(lu),縫(feng)(feng)對縫(feng)(feng),棋(qi)格了(le)了(le),嚴絲密(mi)縫(feng)(feng)。拱(gong)(gong)側(ce)東西(xi)各(ge)有一(yi)信土和掌作(zuo)揖,一(yi)臉虔(qian)誠,張揚(yang)著捐(juan)建(jian)者的個性(xing)。
不幸的是,哪位(wei)天資聰慧的開發大(da)師,在佛教(jiao)徒頭上做了頂“道士帽”——逢渠橋(qiao)變成“風雨亭”。
變成風雨亭之后的(de)(de)“逢渠橋”,我真怕木頭(tou)、磚瓦的(de)(de)堆砌掮(qian)走了(le)歷史經典。
構造
橋的構造頗具特色(se),橋身用11塊石(shi)料卷成(cheng)一個(ge)(ge)單(dan)拱(gong)(gong),共77塊矩(ju)形石(shi)塊組成(cheng)七(qi)(qi)個(ge)(ge)單(dan)拱(gong)(gong),七(qi)(qi)個(ge)(ge)單(dan)拱(gong)(gong)排成(cheng)7列(lie),又組成(cheng)一個(ge)(ge)大的承重拱(gong)(gong)板,每列(lie)縱向與(yu)橫向石(shi)縫都相(xiang)通,像(xiang)是(shi)棋盤格一樣。拱(gong)(gong)肩上面有(you)2個(ge)(ge)石(shi)雕(diao)武(wu)士為護橋神。石(shi)塊與(yu)石(shi)塊之(zhi)間采(cai)用“無(wu)漿干(gan)砌”法,沒有(you)用桐油(you)石(shi)灰勾縫,也(ye)沒有(you)用糯米膠粘(zhan),也(ye)沒有(you)榫卯(mao)相(xiang)連,就像(xiang)搭積(ji)木(mu)那樣,靠相(xiang)互的摩(mo)擦力(li)支持(chi)著。
拱(gong)肩立有(you)2個(ge)石雕武士為護(hu)橋(qiao)神。橋(qiao)全長15米,橋(qiao)面(mian)(mian)寬4.7米,橋(qiao)拱(gong)凈跨4.2米,拱(gong)矢(shi)高2.1米,矢(shi)跨比2:1,屬陡(dou)拱(gong)。橋(qiao)面(mian)(mian)底部石拱(gong)上刻有(you)建橋(qiao)年月(yue)(yue)及捐建人、主建人名等。其"逢渠(qu)橋(qiao)"三字,是當時(shi)縣令(ling)錢鍪(mou)根(gen)據良價初來洞時(shi),在此涉(she)水相(xiang)逢身影所作(zuo)的(de)《逢渠(qu)偈》而題寫的(de)。2002年10月(yue)(yue)在橋(qiao)上建了仿(fang)古亭。
