What ancient paintings surprised you the most?

There are several amazing paintings in ancient China, and the one that surprises me most is The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival.

1. "Fuchun" and "Fuchun" are the late works of Huang, the master and head of painting circles in Yuan Dynasty. They are the highest realm of ancient Chinese ink painting in China, and their accomplishments in China landscape painting can be said to be unprecedented.

Fuchun Shan Jutu, with a width of 33 cm and a length of 636.9 cm, started in Zheng Zheng for seven years (1347) and completed in Zheng Zheng for ten years. This work was burned into two pieces during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and the first half was re-mounted and renamed Yushan Map. At present, it is collected in Zhejiang Museum and is known as the "treasure of the town hall" of Zhejiang Art Museum.

The second half of this work was sent to Taiwan Province Province the night before liberation, and now it is collected by the National Palace Museum.

The whole forest is beautiful, lush, full of quiet poetry and strong Jiangnan bookish atmosphere. The quiet and scattered Yuan painting and another change of China landscape all come from this, and the lyricism of Yuan painting is also reflected in this volume.

2. The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is a famous painting in Northern Song Dynasty. The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, as a masterpiece in the history of China's painting development, is not only of high artistic level, but also leaves many stories.

This picture describes the prosperity of Bianjing and the economic situation of the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. From this picture, we can see the urban landscape and the living conditions of people from all walks of life in the Northern Song Dynasty. This volume is a masterpiece of academy painting with bright colors, exquisite and meticulous brushwork and delicate and rigorous boundary paintings of bridges, houses and figures.

The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is not only a treasure of realistic painting art, but also provides us with first-hand information on the commerce, handicrafts, folk customs, architecture, transportation and other aspects of the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, which has high historical document value.

Its ideological connotation, unique aesthetic perspective and realistic expression make it a classic of painting in China and even the world.
