After inspecting the whole city, they believed that Nanming Bridge was a treasure of Feng Shui. When they came back, they reported to the magistrate and decided to build the library on Nanming Bridge and name it. It's called "Jiaxiu Tower".

After the location was determined, the prefect invited one of the most famous local stonemasons and two carpenters, took them to Nanming Bridge to have a look, and then ordered to choose an auspicious day to start construction. After the prefect left, the master mason made a pot of wine and invited the master carpenter to his home. After the two of them drank three cups, the mason sighed and said to the carpenter, "Brother, who dares to disobey the prefect's order to build a building? It's just that this Nanming On the river, there is currently only one bridge that connects the north and the south. If a library is built on the bridge, this bridge will become the territory of Zhuangyuan Gong, and the traffic thoroughfare will become a forbidden area! Who will dare to pass by the bridge in the future? Yes Those with money can take the ferry, but those without money have to look at the river and sigh. It is even more inconvenient for those who go to the city to sell vegetables and carry carts.

That night, I don’t know how many men, women, and children were carrying rocks and soil, erecting beams and pillars on the river bank. I heard the roar of people, and when the east turned white and the heavy rain stopped, an exquisite and exquisite flying-carved beam painting appeared.
