The small village of Xiemabridge in early spring

Xiemabridge Village is located in Kunshan, Jiangsu. According to the 'Songnan Records', the bridge was named 'Xiemabridge' because it was built by calculating the work of the stone drivers and resting the horses. Folklore has it that Han Shizhong, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, once rested his troops here. Due to the abundant water and grass, Han Shizhong's men rested and nourished their war horses here. To facilitate travel between the two sides of the Shipu River, they built a bridge over the river, and the bridge was called Xiemabridge at that time.
