    Shen Lie led his army on a campaign to Europe, overcoming countless obstacles, clearing roads through mountains and building bridges across rivers. To ensure the army's passage, he personally constructed numerous classical Chinese stone bridges. The flying eaves, rounded arches, and exquisite mortise and tenon joints were entirely different from European bridges, possessing a rustic charm and showcasing Chinese craftsmanship. The local people had never seen such unique bridges before, and, filled with both hatred and fear of this invincible Eastern army, they felt that such masterful construction could not have been done by ordinary people. Thus, they called these Chinese stone bridges "Devil's Bridges," a name passed down through generations. Centuries later, Han Chinese tourists traveling in Europe encountered these ancient bridges that still stand today. Looking at the familiar Chinese bridge bodies, mortise and tenon structures, and covered bridge style, they felt a strong sense of familiarity and stopped in amazement. They felt a sense of déjà vu, marveling at the sight before them, unaware that these were the imprints of civilization left by Eastern warriors on their westward expedition a thousand years ago.
