Li Chun was a bridge builder in Sui Dynasty. Now people in Xingtai, Hebei Province are all in the city. Zhao Zhouqiao (Anji Bridge) was built from the 15th year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty to the beginning of Daye (595 ~ 605). Li Chun was a famous bridge craftsman in the Sui Dynasty in China, and the world-famous Zhao Zhouqiao was his greatest masterpiece. This landmark bridge has condensed the wisdom of China people, created a brand-new situation of bridge construction in China, and made great contributions to the development of bridge technology in China.

After the completion, Zhao Zhouqiao has become the north-south transportation hub of China, with the reputation of "a smooth road leads thousands of people to cross, and a courier drives all countries to connect". Under the bridge, people and cars come and go, which greatly facilitates transportation and people's lives and provides convenient conditions for people on both sides of the Weihe River to travel.
