人类非物质文化遗产代表作：中国木拱桥传统营造技艺

Traditional design and practices for building Chinese wooden arch

bridges

China has a lot of wooden arch bridges that were with unique construction

techniques and skills. Wooden arch bridge is called “modern heritage of ancient

conception” in bridge academe, it transcends any other kinds of traditional

wooden bridge in China in terms of technique level, and it is one and only in the

world bridge history. So the traditional construction techniques of wooden arch

bridge is call the “living fossil” of Chinese ancient bridge construction techniques.

中国有许多木拱桥，它们有独特的施工技术和技巧。木拱桥在桥梁学术界被称为“现

代古意遗产”，在技术水平上超越了中国其他任何一种传统木桥，是世界桥梁史上独一无二

的。所以木拱桥的传统施工技术被称为中国古代桥梁施工技术的“活化石”。

Wooden arch bridges are found in Fujian Province and Zhejiang Province,

along China’s south-east coast. The traditional design and practices for building

these bridges combine the use of wood, traditional architectural tools,

craftsmanship, the core technologies of ‘beam-weaving’ and mortise and tenon

joints, and an experienced woodworker’s understanding of different

environments and the necessary structural mechanics.

木质拱桥主要分布在中国东南沿海的福建省和浙江省。建造这些桥梁的传统设计和实

践结合了木材的使用、传统建筑工具、工艺、“编梁”和榫卯连接的核心技术，以及经验丰

富的木工对不同环境和必要结构力学的理解。

The carpentry is directed by a woodworking master and implemented by other

woodworkers. The craftsmanship is passed on orally and through personal

demonstration, or from one generation to another by masters teaching

apprentices or relatives within a clan in accordance with strict procedures. These

clans play an irreplaceable role in building, maintaining and protecting the bridges.

木工由木工师傅指导，由其他木工实施。这种技艺是通过口头和个人示范来传承的，

或者是由师傅按照严格的程序传授给学徒或家族中的亲戚一代代传下去。这些部族在建造、

维护和保护桥梁方面发挥着不可替代的作用。
