Chenzhou Bridge, a wooden and stone structure with eleven arches and twelve piers, was built by the previous dynasty.

The exterior of the covered bridge was painted red, and long benches were installed on both sides of the interior for pedestrians to sit on.
The flower-selling girl was resting on one of the benches. In her bamboo flower basket, only one or two dewy flowers remained, presumably because the Qixi Festival had arrived, and more flowers could be sold.
