Thanks to decades of perseverance by traditional craftsmen,a 1,000⁃year⁃old wooden arch bridge in Ningde City,Fujian Province,has managed to survive,and the skills used to make it have been adapted to modern life.The bridge,which resembles a rainbow in its out⁃line,is a mortise and tenon structure built without using a single nail or rivet.A roof pro⁃tects the bridge from weathering by the rain.In 1969,Huang Chuncai mastered the traditional skill-building the bridges.
