建筑特色
逢渠(qu)橋(qiao),它的景(jing)深,至少有兩個層次(ci),一(yi)是(shi)橋(qiao)的建筑藝術底蘊;一(yi)是(shi)它的宗教文化底蘊。
逢渠橋,建(jian)于北(bei)宋紹圣(sheng)五年(nian)(1089),它的空間跨(kua)度(du)雖然只(zhi)有4.2米(mi),但是它的時間跨(kua)度(du)是整整十一(yi)(yi)個(ge)(ge)世紀。目前江西省內(nei)僅存尚未遭劫的三(san)座宋代石橋之一(yi)(yi)。“縱向單卷并(bing)拱(gong)(gong)”、“無鉸拱(gong)(gong)結”和“無漿(jiang)干砌”三(san)大工藝特色,足以令(ling)當代莫及。游(you)人只(zhi)要躋身(shen)橋底,可(ke)以分明地(di)數(shu)清(qing)全(quan)橋77塊石塊,怎樣排(pai)成(cheng)7個(ge)(ge)單拱(gong)(gong),每排(pai)單拱(gong)(gong)怎樣由(you)11塊石料(liao)卷成(cheng)一(yi)(yi)拱(gong)(gong)。路(lu)對(dui)(dui)路(lu),縫對(dui)(dui)縫,棋格了了,嚴絲密縫。拱(gong)(gong)側東西各有一(yi)(yi)信土(tu)和掌作揖,一(yi)(yi)臉虔誠,張(zhang)揚著捐建(jian)者的個(ge)(ge)性(xing)。
不幸的是(shi),哪位(wei)天(tian)資聰慧(hui)的開(kai)發大(da)師,在(zai)佛(fo)教徒頭(tou)上做(zuo)了頂“道士帽”——逢渠橋變成(cheng)“風雨亭”。
變成風(feng)雨亭(ting)之后的“逢渠(qu)橋”,我真怕(pa)木頭(tou)、磚瓦的堆砌掮走了歷史經典。
構造
橋(qiao)(qiao)的構造頗(po)具特色,橋(qiao)(qiao)身(shen)用(yong)11塊石(shi)(shi)料卷(juan)成一(yi)(yi)(yi)個單拱,共77塊矩形石(shi)(shi)塊組(zu)成七個單拱,七個單拱排成7列,又組(zu)成一(yi)(yi)(yi)個大的承重(zhong)拱板(ban),每列縱向與橫向石(shi)(shi)縫都相(xiang)通,像是棋盤格一(yi)(yi)(yi)樣(yang)。拱肩上面有2個石(shi)(shi)雕武士(shi)為護(hu)橋(qiao)(qiao)神。石(shi)(shi)塊與石(shi)(shi)塊之(zhi)間采用(yong)“無漿干砌”法,沒(mei)有用(yong)桐油石(shi)(shi)灰(hui)勾縫,也沒(mei)有用(yong)糯米膠粘,也沒(mei)有榫卯(mao)相(xiang)連,就(jiu)像搭積木那樣(yang),靠相(xiang)互的摩(mo)擦力支持著。
拱(gong)(gong)肩立(li)有(you)2個(ge)石(shi)雕武士為護(hu)橋(qiao)(qiao)神。橋(qiao)(qiao)全長15米(mi),橋(qiao)(qiao)面寬4.7米(mi),橋(qiao)(qiao)拱(gong)(gong)凈跨4.2米(mi),拱(gong)(gong)矢高2.1米(mi),矢跨比2:1,屬陡拱(gong)(gong)。橋(qiao)(qiao)面底部石(shi)拱(gong)(gong)上(shang)刻有(you)建(jian)橋(qiao)(qiao)年(nian)月及捐(juan)建(jian)人、主建(jian)人名等。其(qi)"逢渠橋(qiao)(qiao)"三字,是當時縣令錢鍪根據良價初來洞(dong)時,在此涉水相(xiang)逢身影所作的(de)(de)《逢渠偈》而題(ti)寫的(de)(de)。2002年(nian)10月在橋(qiao)(qiao)上(shang)建(jian)了仿古亭。
