China: Qingming Shang Tu< / i> or 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' (detail), Zhang Zeduan (1085-1145) original scroll painting dating from the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127)

'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' is a painting by the Song dynasty artist Zhang Zeduan (10851145). It captures the daily life of people and the landscape of the Northern Song capital, Bianjing, today's Kaifeng. The theme is said to celebrate the festive spirit and worldly commotion at the Qingming Festival, rather than the holiday's ceremonial aspects, such as tomb sweeping and prayers.<br/><br/>. Successive scenes reveal the lifestyle of all levels of the society from rich to poor as well as different economic activities in rural areas and the city, and offer glimpses of period clothing and architecture. The scroll is 25.5 centimetres (10.0 inches) in height and 5.25 meters (5.74 yards) long. In its length there are 814 humans (of whom only 20 are women), 28 boats, 60 animals, 30 buildings, 20 vehicles, 8 sedan chairs, and 170 trees. The countryside and the densely populated city are the two main sections in the picture, with the river meandering through the entire length.<br/><br/>. The original painting is celebrated as the most celebrated work of art from the Song dynasty.
