This Wednesday’s Wonder: Moon Bridge in the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial, Taipei, Taiwan.
A long time ago, bridges were made for one thing and one thing only: crossing over normally uncrossable things. Moons were also made for one thing and one thing only…to be a moon…but that’s neither here nor there. This moon bridge is located at the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial. It made things like crossing over the lake, admiring all the turtles and feeding the koi fish so much easier. It also made my bridge-ucation a little more interesting, like when we had this conversation:
“So, this is a moon bridge?”
“What’s a moon bridge?”
“This bridge. It’s shaped like the moon. Why?”
“I dunno. I just always called it a bridge.”
Sheepishness set in as I realized that I had been schooled. There you have it, folks: moon bridges have no significant symbolic meanings, other than to be a bridge.
It’s a moon. It’s a bridge. It’s a moon bridge.What do you think? Is this bridge a more effective way to cross uncrossable things?
It’a moon, it’s a bridge, it’s more Wednesday’s Wonders delivered directly to your email. Join us on our adventures! Go Nuts!
