Introduction:
The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is an extremely precious representative work in China's ancient paintings and a rare cultural heritage in the world art galleries.
The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is the work of Zhang Zeduan, a painter in Song Dynasty. This is a long scroll, which shows the customs and social conditions of Bianliang (entering Kaifeng, Henan Province) and Bianhe, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, during the Qingming period. The content of the picture can be divided into three parts. The first part depicts the scene of the suburbs. In the early morning of spring, the mist has not dispersed. Several farmhouses are shaded by a small forest with sprouting branches. Farmland is green and buildings are criss-crossed. People going to the market and mules and horses carrying goods marched from various roads to the city. There are several big ships moored at the Bianhe Wharf, one of which is full of food and someone is busy carrying it.
Looking along the sparkling Bianhe exhibition, the picture enters the second part. The houses are strewn at random, the ancient willows are rugged, and there are tables and stools in the tea shop by the river. Ships come and go in the river. An exquisite arch bridge, like a rainbow, connects the two banks. There are many pedestrians, traffic, and people are buzzing, which is very lively. A wooden boat was about to cross the arch bridge when the mast fell and the boatman grabbed the pole. Under the bridge, many pedestrians stopped to watch. From the action of people opening their mouths and waving their arms, it seems that they can hear the shouts of boatmen and the cheers of everyone.
Get off the bridge, cross the street, walk past a towering gatehouse, and then come to the busiest market. This is the scene described in the third part. There are many restaurants, tea shops and luxury shops here, with colorful and varied goods, strong market advertising and prosperous business. In the market, scholars, farmers, businessmen, men and women, old and young, people riding sedan chairs, and people shopping and selling are jostling with each other. It can be said that "a hundred arts are sold in spring, and thousands of farmers clamor day and night", which is a prosperous scene. Go straight after the intersection, but is Bianjing Palace important? The picture came to an abrupt end, leaving room for the audience to imagine.
