What is the identity of the rider in The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival?
One of the proverbs
In the middle of the Riverside Map on Qingming Festival, besides the boat crisis in the river, something happened on Hongqiao: two groups of people met in a narrow way and refused to give in to each other. They were throwing fists at each other with open arms, and a fight was about to happen. The owners on both sides, one riding a horse and the other sitting in a sedan chair.
This kind of confrontation is also drawing the position of the eyes, and naturally it is not casually drawn. It is full of moral-the passenger ship in the river is in crisis because of everyone's negligence, but the confrontation between the two men on the bridge is obviously a passionate struggle, just like the infighting of government officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, which lasted for more than 100 years.
In addition, civil servants sit in sedan chairs and soldiers ride horses. According to the practice of the Northern Song Dynasty, when soldiers meet civilians, they must respectfully avoid them. However, this pattern seems to have changed. The rider is not only unwilling, but also in a condescending position, which seems to indicate that the national crisis is coming and the era of reusing soldiers will also come.
