The Suspension Bridge

The suspension bridge was invented in China during the Qing Dynasty in 1803. The Qing Dyansty wanted to make the suspension bridge safer for people to use and for people to be able to travel further on it.  This invention was important because it made suspension bridges safer to travel on. Making suspension bridges was a very hard task to complete. People argued about how it should look , and money was a very important asset. Overall suspension bridges were a very important invention during the Qing Dynasty.


Bridges have made a difference all over the world but the Anlan Bridge, (Which was the first suspension bridge) was constructed in 1803, during the time of Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty. He Xiande and his wife were in charge of the bridge being built. Before suspension bridges were made people did not have a safe way to cross water or steep gaps. It was not safe to not have bridges so that is why they created them. When suspension bridges were created it was so much easier for people. Before suspension bridges were made it was a lot harder life for not only the Qing people but for everyone in the world.


The suspension bridge has really changed people's lives in many ways. For example, suspension bridges are very strong. If they were not made as strong then they would not be able to hold what they are today like cars. Suspension bridge's hold cars now so it is much easier for people when they are trying to get from one end of the bridge to another. Bridges are very safe now and they are so easy to cross. Even if there are a lot of cars on the bridge and there is a lot traffic it still wont break, that is how strong it is. Overall the suspension bridge is a very safe invention that people of the Qing Dynasty had made and they are very important to us now.
