我国历史文化名城平遥就要到了,右前方那高耸的砖墙就是我国现存较为完整的四座古城池之一平遥城。1997年12月3日,联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会通过决议,将我国云南省丽江古城、山西省平遥古城和江苏省苏州古典园林列入《世界遗产名录》。现在大家可以观赏一下古城的远景和比较完整的外观。
现在这座平遥城始建于何时,历史上没有明确记载。在漫长的历史岁月中。这里曾有过她的繁华,也曾多次遭受战火的破坏。我们现在看到的这座城墙,是明代洪武三年,即1370年把原来的土城墙加高加厚加砖扩建而成的,明清以来虽曾数次维修,但风格未变。
平遥城内古建筑保存很多,像文庙大成殿、清虚观、市楼、城隆庙、武庙戏台等。就是街道民居。也基本保存明清时代风貌。漫步街头,还会看到各种古色古香的院门、院埔、精雕细刻的古建筑装饰,甚至还能看到门前的接马石桩、下马石等,一派古城风貌。
我们现在正行驶在惠济桥上,惠济桥是一座九拱石桥,修建于清代康熙年间,同治年间重建。清代名宿傅山先生曾亲笔为它写道碑记。这座桥规模不等大。历史也不算很长,但造型优美。桥面平坦,没有像一般石桥那样高高隆起,便于车马行走。而且更有一个奇处,就是这座桥下还有一座桥。下面的桥不见文字记载,人们原来也不知道。1977年8月,一场暴雨造成特大洪灾,滚滚洪水带走了不少淤积多年的河沙。水退后,人们惊奇地发现:原来惠济桥叠架在旧桥的桥面上,形成桥上桥的奇观。利用旧桥做新桥的牢固基础,既节省财力、人力,又省时间,多聪明的构思!这在造桥史上也是一个奇迹。
