The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival does not describe the scene of Tomb-Sweeping Day, so why is it called Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival?

Many people in later generations thought that The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival depicted the prosperity of Bianjing and Tomb-Sweeping Day, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was not. Besides Qingming in the 24 solar terms, Qingming also means Qingming and Qingming. And the clear weather in Wan Li, it is the first autumn. In fact, The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival depicts a clear and bright early autumn scene, and the reason can be found in the picture.

First, pedestrians in shorts with bare arms. Bare-armed children are playing in the crowded street. Some people shake their fans to enjoy the cool and shade themselves. This is the summer heat of autumn tiger.

Second, the seasonal fruit exposure season. On several fruit stalls on the north and south sides of Hongqiao, freshly cut watermelons are placed for pedestrians to taste.

However, judging from the cultivation of ancient watermelons, it is impossible to sell watermelons that were just planted in Tomb-Sweeping Day in early spring. So this Qingming Festival should refer to Tomb-Sweeping Day in early autumn.

Third, the new wine reveals the real painting time. At the gate of the restaurant by the river, write books and drink new wine to attract tourists. According to Meng Yuan, a veteran of the Song Dynasty, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, new wines were sold in various shops, which meant that the autumn harvest was in sight. Visible real painting time should be in early autumn.

Because Tomb-Sweeping Day also "merged" the Cold Food Festival two days ago. Going to the grave was originally a traditional custom of the Cold Food Festival. Tomb-Sweeping Day itself has no connotation from the beginning, because it is between Cold Food Festival and Shangsi Festival in time, so it "opens the bow left and right" and puts the customs and activities of Cold Food Festival and Shangsi Festival into its own "basket", thus becoming bigger and stronger until today.

To sum up, the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival has clear details and clearly tells us the truth. The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival in early autumn. Instead of going to the river in spring and Qingming.
