三江侗族风雨桥

The Origins and Developments of Science and Culture between China and the West： the Analogical Interpretation and Reverse Analogical Interpretation in Mutual Interpretation between Chinese and Western Languages

三江是个县名,全称是三江侗族自治县。属广西柳州市管辖。侗族的居住区主要在贵州、湖南和广西的交界处。与其他少数民族占山而居、依山建房不同。侗寨大多修在河溪两旁,临水而居。因此,凡有侗族聚居的地方就必然有桥,许多桥上还建有廊和亭,既可行人走马,又可避风挡雨,所以又称风雨桥。
