The Origin of the Name of Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival

The long genre painting The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival by Zhang Zeduan, a painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, is a world-renowned artistic treasure. It is called the "national treasure" of the painting garden, just like the "Five Cattle Map" created by Han Yun in the Tang Dynasty. The earliest collector was Song Huizong (Evonne). His original paintings "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" and "Shuanglong Small Seal" written in thin gold can prove that they were originally collected in the palace. After the fall of Bianjing in A.D. 1 126, all the precious cultural relics in the palace, including this famous painting, were owned by the Jin people. Another 59 years passed, that is, in the 26th year of Dading (1 186). Zhang Zhu wrote the first postscript to The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, and quoted Xiang's comments to prove that Zhang Zeduan, a poet in the Song Dynasty, used the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival and the West Lake as the standard, so he named the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival.
