What city is depicted in The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival?

Along the River During the Qingming Festival

It depicts the city customs and people of Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, Kaifeng area in Henan Province and the banks of Bianhe River during the Qingming Festival today.

The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is large in scale and rigorous in structure. Generally speaking, the Riverside Map on Qingming Festival can be divided into three parts: a quiet village, a busy river and a noisy capital.

The first paragraph of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival describes the spring scenery in Bianjing village.

The frontispiece of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival begins in the countryside, and this part is particularly quiet. I only saw sparse Woods and thin mist, which covered several huts and old trees. Under the bridge, the water is gurgling, and a boat floats lightly on the water. On the wide road, a frightened horse was painted, and someone rushed forward to stop it. In the middle of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is a portrait of Bian.

In the second half of the riverside scene at Qingming Festival, the picture shows the bustling market in Bianliang.

The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is called Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, but some people think that it is called Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival because the author painted the situation around Qingming Square in Beijing.

The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is 5 meters long, with grand momentum, rigorous composition and meticulous and realistic characters. It is a national treasure painting with high historical value, artistic value and documentary value.

Who painted the Riverside Scene on Qingming Festival?

The author of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is Zhang Zeduan.

Zhang Zeduan, whose name is Zhengdao, was born in Wudong, Northern Song Dynasty, and now in Zhucheng, Shandong Province.

Zhang Zeduan was a court painter in Hui Zong period of Song Dynasty. When Zhang Zeduan was a teenager, he went to the capital city of Bianliang, which is now Kaifeng, Henan. Later, I began to learn painting, especially painting boats and cars, city bridges, Guo Jing and so on. He was able to start his own family.

According to records, in addition to The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, Zhang Zeduan has other works, such as Jin Ming's Bid for the Pool, Spring Dawn on the West Lake, Night Bell in Nanping, etc. But now only the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is the only authentic work handed down.

The picture of Bianhe River in The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is quite spectacular, accounting for a little more than 7/ 18 of the whole picture. Why do you want to use such a large space to draw the riverside, the busy traffic scene on the river, and the activities of many people around the riverside traffic and market? This is determined by his theme. The so-called "Riverside Scenery in Ming Dynasty" contains the contents of Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave-sweeping and ancestor-worship, but it is not the theme of the painting, but only the concept of time.
