Sung Dynastic Rainbow bridge. (Somewhat off topic for this forum)

I have just finished watching a program (NOVA) on the PBS channel
about the reconstruction of a Sung(Song) Dynasty Rainbow
bridge by a group of MIT guys and a Chinese Professor.
The ancient structure came to the attention of the Chinese Professor
when he saw a picture of it in a Chinese painting.

(Painting can be seen at:

You can read about the program at:

I know this has nothing to do with the theme of this forum, but
I thought I would post this information here in case someone
might be interested.

BTW: It was mentioned on the program that "restaurants" were
"invented" in the Sung Dynasty. I wonder if that's true .
