It seems that the various beautiful and special bridges in the Summer Palace tell eveo,thing about the art of traditional Chinese bridges. During the construction of the Garden of Clear Ripples, many bridges were built, including water bridges and dry bridges, stone bridges and wooden bridges, singlearch bridges and multi-arch bridges, and straight bridges and curve bridges,. Most of them are stone bridges that were lucky enough to survive the fire in 1860 set by the Anglo-French Allied Forces, only a .few wooden bridges being destroyed. Since the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, especially since the establishment of the new China in 1949, many bridges have been renovated and newly added.
