Sorry, but esp. this part: "Among the most remarkable achievements of Chinese bridge building-indeed an advancement unrivaled in the world-was the creation of this segmental arch bridge of wholly stone construction. This innovation, which occurred between the end of the sixth century and beginning of the seventh century, repudiated conventional wisdom that a semicircular arch was necessary to transfer the weight of a bridge downwards to where the arch tangentially meets the pier." sounds very much like Chinese propaganda nonsense. If I see that correctly eg. the Roman Pons Fabricius from 62 BC also has segmental arches. For more info see also /info/en/?search=Arch_bridge . Anyone with more knowledge than me about bridges should edit this article, I suppose. bossel ( talk) 20:34, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

The Xiao river linked in the infobox is the wrong river: it takes you to a Xiao river in Hunan, whereas the bridge, according to multiple sources including everywhere else in the article is some 1 000 km:s away in Hebei. I can't find the correct name for the river (or if it is indeed a Xiao river, which one, or if it has a wikipedia page), if someone more knowledgeable in Chinese geography or just better research skills could fix this that would be great.

Current text has a strangely worded reference to the "support structure" rather than the entire bridge which appeared to possibly contradict reference to only the railings being replaced:
"Yet, the support structure remains intact and the bridge is still in use. Only the ornamental railings have been replaced every few hundred years."
On further investigation, https://www.aimircg.com/anji-bridge-a-breakthrough-in-bridge-construction-by-ancient-chinese/ states
"The bridge had been severely damaged in late Qing Dynasty, renovations from 1952 to 1956 were widely criticized by society for the renovation changed its essential appearance and structure." which is clearly out of line with the current article text.
Any better sources to back up this presumably extensive modern renovation? Harami2000 ( talk) 04:58, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
