五、风景名胜，景点( attractions)

1. Savisilta, Suomen toiseksi vanhin betonisilta

The clay bridge, originally called the Juurikoski Bridge. The clay bridge, originally called the Juurikoski Brid, is a reinforced concrete bridge located in Ylivieska, which crosses the Kalajoki River at Ylivieska between the church and the railway bridge. The bridge was designed by Jalmar Castrén and was built in 1912. At that time, due to the still strange building material, the bridge was called Savisilla. The structure of the bridge is a five-hole girder and cantilever bridge. Bridge dances are sometimes held on the clay bridge in the summer as well. The load on the bridge decreased when the bridge on the current main road 86 was completed in 1959. Traffic was further reduced when the Helala bridge was completed in 1971, and the Savis bridge remained a light traffic bridge. The bridge was restored in 1976. It has been a museum bridge since 1982 and is the second oldest reinforced concrete bridge in Finland. The bridge was repaired in the summer of 2012, and its 100th anniversary was celebrated in September 2012.

六、历史文化

1.历史

The Ylivieska region was a Lappish wilderness area for a long time. In the Middle Ages, the area belonged to the old parish of Salo. The area was not permanently inhabited until the end of the Middle Ages, when settlers from Kalajoki and the villages of Suur-Lohtaja arrived in the area. The settlement of Ylivieska grew quite rapidly. In 1550 there were 13 houses, in the early 17th century there were already 30. In 1690 the population was 622. During the great years of famine and great hatred of the 1690s the population decreased, but after the middle of the 18th century the population began to grow again.

The Ylivieska region initially belonged to the Kalajoki parish. The decision to establish one's own chapel congregation was made as early as 1643, but it was not until ten years later that the parish's own church in Haapaniemi was completed. Ylivieska was separated as an independent parish in 1861, which came into being in 1875. The municipality of Ylivieska was founded in 1867. Municipal life quickly came to life, especially thanks to the writer Peter Päivärinna. Päivärinta, who has been Ylivieska's cantor for 40 years, was the chairman of the municipal assembly in 1869–1872 and 1875–1887. He was founding the parish's first library (1869) and elementary school (1879). However, due to the resistance of the Kalajoki priests and the peasants, their own priest was not obtained until 1862. Ylivieska Church was built in 1786 and repaired to its current appearance according to the drawings of Julius Basilier, the head of the county building office, in 1892. At present, there is no actual church in Ylivieska at all, as in March 2016 the church burned to the ground in arson.

The arable land was greatly increased in the 19th century, but agriculture alone was unable to support a steadily growing population. [8] The difficult situation was triggered by the railway. The municipality's business life began to develop when it got its own railway in 1886. At that time, the Ostrobothnian railway, which was planned to run along the coast, was built inland between Kokkola and Oulu and pulled through Ylivieska. It is said that Peter Päivärinna, a well-known writer and statesman from Ylivieska, had a decisive influence on the early construction of the track and at least its alignment in the 1882 parliament, and thus also greatly influenced the future development of Ylivieska as a whole. [10] Later, a connecting line to Iisalmi was built, this Iisalmi – Ylivieska line was completed in 1925. Ylivieska became an important crossroads for railways, which quickly began to develop into the center of economic and cultural life in the Kalajoki Valley. Improved transport links also attracted industry. As early as the beginning of the 1930s, the idea of transforming the church village of Ylivieska into a township was presented. However, the town of Ylivieska did not become available until 1965, but six years later, in 1971, it received city rights. The reason for this rapid development was the absence of a city center in the southern part of the then Oulu county.

seal hunting in the spring off the sea ice in Kalajoki was an important source of livelihood. Tar burning began to become more common in the 17th century and was still an important industry in the early 19th century. Sawmills were built in Hannunkoski and Jylhänkoski as early as the 1760s, and at the end of the century six sage breweries were built in the parish. The Kalajoki Valley became one of the centers of revival in the early 19th century. The leaders of Ostrobothnia's awakening were Niilo Kustaa Malmberg and Ylivieska's chaplain Jonas Lagus. In 1920, the awakened members of the province founded a Christian college in Raudaskylä, which is the largest Christian folk high school and university in Finland. Raudaskylä Christian College gathers about 200 students from all over Finland every year.

In recent years, the grocery trade in particular has invested in new retail space in the Ylivieska area. The Kärkkäinen shopping center ISO, which opened at the beginning of 2003 in particular, has boosted traffic throughout the city. K-Citymarket was opened in Ylivieska in 2008 and Prisma in 2011.

Ostrobothnia Underground Association organizes events built around electronic dance music in the Ylivieska region. The association wants to offer people the opportunity to listen to good music, dance and meet like-minded people. One of the most important starting points is to arouse interest among less dedicated people as well. The activity is non-profit because music is the main thing.
