大仓桥
Dacang Bridge
中山西路仓桥弄南的大仓桥，建于明代天启年间（1621—1627），卧于市河上方，是上海地区现存最大的古石桥，为上海市级文物保护单位。
古代市河水系横贯松江城东西，东到华阳桥，西到跨塘桥。1958—1982年间，市河东门至蒋泾河段逐步被填平，现只剩下人民河到秀春塘段。明清时大仓桥南侧筑有仓城，有城墙及四门、敌楼、瓮城等，规模甚大。桥的北侧是东西横贯松江府城的十里长街，大仓桥是连接仓城南北的主要人行通道。
桥全长约50米，宽约5米，桥顶距河面约8米，古时足够通行大小船只。早期的大仓桥是木结构，曾经因饥荒年间分粮发生过事故，“西仓桥，旧以木为之……同知岳维华放粮，饥民站立桥顶，坠水死者六十二人。”明天启六年（1626）重建，又称为“永丰桥”，桥额刻“重建永丰桥”五字，桥北侧有明代《华亭仓桥碑记》石碑一方。目前所见的石桥修缮于2002年，选用上等的金山石为台阶、青石为栏杆。北侧的桥头有黑色大理石石碑一块，记录了大仓桥的修缮历程。
古时候，文人墨客多会于此，大仓桥亦为书画诗词的题材之一。明代著名书画家，松江画派首领董其昌撰有《西仓桥记》，“蓄风气，状瞻视，莫此为伟”。大仓桥为松江仓城的标志性建筑。

Located near the intersection of Cangqiao Lane and West Zhongshan Road, Dacang Bridge was built during the Tianqi era of the Ming dynasty (1621—1627). It is located above the Songjiang City River and is the largest surviving ancient stone bridge in Shanghai. The ancient city river ran from Huayang Bridge in the east to Kuatang Bridge in the west. Between 1958 and 1982, some reaches of the river were filled, leaving only the segment from Renmin River to Xiuchun Creek. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the south of the Dacang Bridge included the Cangcheng, which had walls, gateways, watchtowers, and barbicans; to the north side of the bridge was the Shi Li Changjie (literally means the ten-milelong street). The Dacang Bridge served as the main pedestrian passage connecting the north and south.
The bridge is about 50 meters long, 5 meters wide and 8 meters high, which is large enough for boats in ancient times to pass under. The early Dacang Bridge was made of wood but was damaged during a famine. When the official was distributing relief provisions, the bridge was crowded with starving people and collapsed, resulting in sixty-two deaths by drowning. It was rebuilt with stone in 1626 (Ming) and renamed the Yongfeng Bridge. The characters “the rebuilt Yongfeng Bridge” were engraved on the bridge, and the stela for “The History of Cang Bridge in Huating” was placed just north of the bridge.
In ancient times, Dacang Bridge served as a gathering place for the region's literati, a lively scene depicted in historical calligraphy, paintings, and poetry. Dong Qichang, the leader of the Songjiang School of Paintings in Ming dynasty also wrote of it.
