Historically:The spiritual meaning of the Bridge is a contribution of Daoism. Since the Bridge is a single pathway, it became known as a physical representation of "The Way." This symbolic understanding synergized with Awakenism really well. Because the Bridge's representation fit perfectly into the Awakened idea of "reaching the other shore."
This came to represent that if the user can reach the other shore, by overcoming obstacles of The-Self, he or she would become one with the Dao/Nirvana.
This symbolism can be found throughout all Asian-styled gardens today.
