The Chinese word 桥 means “bridge” in English. It is a noun that refers to a structure that spans a physical obstacle, such as a river or a valley, to connect two areas. In Chinese culture, bridges are often seen as symbols of unity and harmony, and they have been an important part of Chinese architecture for thousands of years. The word 桥 can therefore also be used metaphorically to refer to a means of communication or connection between people or things.
