Around the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Zhoupu River in the region of today’s Minhang District was suspended from its function as a channel for transporting tribute grains to the royal family in Beijing. Hu Zude, a local squire, raised funds to build bridges across the river. In about two decades, he supervised the construction of six bridges, the Dumin, Sumin, Yumin, Limin, Qimin and Shoumin bridges, therefore earning respect and the nickname, the “Six Bridge Father.”
