Qingming Scroll①
Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Scroll is a masterwork of Chinese art.Painted on a fivemetrelong silk scroll, it offers an important insight② into life in China in the 12th century.It is commonly believed that the city described in the painting is Bianjing (presentday Kaifeng), the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.The ancient scroll has survived the test of time remarkably well, and is currently housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
The scroll consists of three main sections.The first section presents a peaceful scene of rural③life near Bianjing, featuring crop④ fields, a river winding⑤ through the landscape, and farmers hard at work.The second section shows the riverbanks and the central bridge alive with activity as boats sail⑥ in and out of Bianjing.Civilians⑦can also be seen walking through the city ga
