桥，在传统中国，是一种饱含“情”与“志”的标志物。一方面，在乡村造桥是一种功德或是纪念；另一方面，“桥”是一种诗情的想象，在传统山水画的谋篇中，是整个画境的入口和起点。不只是物本身，桥是一个可以入画的艺术形象，造桥是一个福祉于民的社会事件。

Bridge, in traditional Chinese culture, is a sign full of “emotion” and “will”. On one hand, building a bridge in the countryside is a kind of merit or commemoration; on the other hand, “bridge” is a kind of poetic imagination, in the strategy of traditional landscape painting, it is the entrance and starting point of the whole painting. Not only the thing itself, the bridge is an artistic image that can be painted, and building a bridge is a social event that benefits the people.

项目的场地位于安徽祁门县桃源村。一条10米宽的水系贯穿村头村尾，阻隔了村落和农田。为了便于村民去田间耕作，需要增加一座人行桥。水系是居住和劳作的分界线，而桥则是通向田园山野的入口。后山上，毛竹密布。用竹子建造，材料本身取之于自然，为人所用，是一种在地的营造。

The project is located in Taoyuan Village, Qimen County, Anhui Province. A 10-meter-wide water system runs through the head and end of the village, blocking the village and farmland. In order to make it convenient for the villagers to farm in the fields, an additional footbridge is needed. The water system is the dividing line between living and working, while the bridge is the entrance to the countryside. The back mountain is covered with bamboo. To build with bamboo, taking the material itself from nature and using them for the purpose of human beings, is a kind of construction methodology based on the local environment and resources.
