It's really interesting to enlarge the riverside scene on Qingming Festival by 30 times.

When asked about one of the most famous and widely circulated paintings in China's Great Heaven Dynasty, Cui Hua thought that eight out of ten people would answer The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, and the other two might still be wondering whether it was The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival or The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival.

The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival shows a scene in which the citizens of Bianjing (now Kaifeng) in the Northern Song Dynasty go to market and travel. There are 864 people in the painting, which is too little for a capital and too much for a painting. Who will have the patience to open this 5.28-meter-long picture and take a closer look?

Pick flowers. Take a look, of course, there are many serious scholars. ) Cui Hua not only read it carefully from beginning to end, but also magnified many interesting details. Let's have a look.

This is a shop selling spices, such as agarwood, sandalwood and frankincense, which were the favorites of literati at that time. Among them, agarwood is regarded as the first fragrance, with a market price of 10 thousand yuan, a proper luxury!

In today's market, the price of agarwood is also unattainable. Poke here to see the details: Business | A piece of "rotten wood", but it was used by Emperor Qianlong to pick up girls, and Jia Baoyu carried it with him.

The "Wanzu shop" in the picture is not a foot washing shop that modern people think of, but a shop for people to have a short rest. But at that time, people loved drinking so much that even if it was just a short break, they had to have a drink, so a sign was hung at the door of the store, "The Beauty of Heaven".

As for the square box advertisement "10,000 feet shop", candles can be lit inside, so that guests passing by at night will not miss the rest place. This is probably the oldest light box advertisement in China.

This is the "Zhao Tai Cheng Jia" medicine store. Visually, it is a sunset shop opened by a retired doctor. The most eye-catching signs on both sides of the door read "Tai Zhi Gastrointestinal Disease Pill" on the left and "True Prescription for Treating Stomach Injury" on the right, which are both pills for treating stomach and wine injury. This shows how much Kaifeng people love to drink.

This is a fortune-telling booth with three words written on it: "Lessons from God", "Look at life" and "Never doubt". The fortune teller was sitting, and the man in white leaned over to ask something, and the servant behind him was whispering in disorder. I wonder what the fortune teller calculated for him?

This scene reminds Cui Hua of the fortune teller he saw at the alley mouth or even by the roadside. One by one, "secrets can't be revealed, but there is nothing to say if you give some money."

I remember seeing many grandfathers on the roadside before, shaving people's heads and so on. It's cheap, but I haven't experienced the effect of picking flowers. I didn't expect such a founder as early as the Northern Song Dynasty.

This is the earliest beauty salon in China, although it is a bit crude. ...

In the picture below, several dressed scholars are lying on the railing watching the fish in the river. It is said that this is one of the sightseeing activities during the Qingming period, which means "going to the river". It's like I saw flowers in parks and lakes during festivals. ...

When eating in some smaller restaurants now, you may notice that the menus are all on the wall, which is simple and convenient. According to the researchers, the small vertical curtain extracted from the wreath of the tea shop below may be the earliest menu in the world.

Speaking of ancient black technology, what else besides the four great inventions? Too many. Here's an example for you. The anemometer in the picture below-a bird-shaped object on a wooden cross. If you want to know what wind is blowing today, just look where the bird's head is flying. It seems a simple principle, but it is not easy to make this effect.

When people are lazy, the best thing is that they can eat without cooking by themselves-the takeaway brother is simply the light of mankind! The hotel guy in the picture below holds a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and he is very skilled in business.

Yes, the catering industry in the Song Dynasty was very developed, and people could enjoy the takeaway service of takeaway brother without leaving home. -To say which dynasty is the happiest, Cui Hua must choose the Song Dynasty without hesitation.

There are several paper horses selling funerary wares in the painting, such as the "Wang Family Paper Horse" in the picture below. Yes, they sacrifice with sacrificial coins. This custom was inherited from Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Out of the circle in the middle of the picture is the legendary "paper horse".

In fact, the painter Zhang Zeduan not only showed the folk customs at that time, but also implied his worries about the political situation of the dynasty in The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. For example, Hongqiao, which is extremely crowded in the middle of the picture, is about to collide with a ship, and there are unguarded guards at the gate, which symbolizes the scene that civil and military officials do not give way to each other. ...
