Who wrote the name of the riverside scene on Qingming Festival?

The name of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival was inscribed by Song Huizong, and its title came from the biography of Ban Biao at the end of Han Dynasty. "Qingming" refers to the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, after the decline of the late Western Han Dynasty and the battle between the green forest and the red eyebrows, the society gradually stabilized, production resumed, and all aspects were full of vitality.

Therefore, Song Huizong compared Bianjing under his rule to an era of prosperity and peace, which also had a pun effect in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

At that time, Kaifeng had a population of nearly one million, and more than one million Jin of rations were shipped from Bianhe and Caihe, and grain was shipped from Suzhou and other major producing areas. These two rivers play an important role in the social life of Bianjing. On the map, the Bianhe River is located in the north and on the upper side, so it is called the Shanghe River. Therefore, this painting depicts the upper reaches of the Qingming Festival, which has nothing to do with sweeping graves.
