How many industry scenes did the ancient painting Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival describe?

Many experts suspect that most of the second half of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is lost, because this painting should not come to an abrupt end as soon as it enters Kaifeng City, but should be painted all the way to Jinming Pool.

So I can only make a rough estimate. According to the current saying: "360 lines, each doing its own thing", but there may not be such a developed industry in ancient times. There may be more than 200 industries. The following is a simple industry:

The first paragraph, Bianjing rural spring:

In the sparse forest mist, there are several huts, grass bridges, running water, old trees and boats. Two porters are driving five donkeys loaded with charcoal. They are going to town. A willow forest, with faint green branches, makes people feel that although it is chilly in spring, it is already spring back to the earth. In the sedan chair on the road, a woman sat in it. The top of the sedan chair is decorated with willows.

Zahua, followed by riders and bearers, came back from the suburbs of Beijing to sweep the grave. The description of the environment and characters points out the specific time and customs of Tomb-Sweeping Day, which opens the curtain for the whole painting.

In the middle section, the busy Bianhe Wharf:

Bianhe River is the hub of national grain transportation in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is also the main road of commercial traffic. As can be seen from the picture, the population is dense and there are many grain ships. Some people are resting in the teahouse, some are reading fortune-telling, and some are eating in the restaurant. There is also the "Wang's Paper Horse Shop", which is a grave sweeper selling sacrifices. Ships come and go in the river, end to end, or towed by trackers or boats.

Husband paddles, some full of goods, upstream, some ashore, and is nervously unloading. Across the Bianhe River is a large wooden arch bridge with exquisite structure and beautiful shape. Such as flying rainbow, hence the name Hongqiao. There is a big ship waiting to cross the bridge. The boatman is supported by bamboo poles; Hook the bridge with a long pole; Lead the boat with hemp rope; Several people are busy lowering the mast so that the ship can pass. People in the neighboring ship are also pointing, as if shouting something. Both inside and outside the ship are busy crossing the bridge for this ship. People on the bridge are also sweating over the tense ferry scene. This is the well-known Hongqiao pier, which is full of traffic and bustling, and is really the intersection of land and water transportation.

In the second half, busy city streets:

Centered on the tall towers, there are rows of houses on both sides, including teahouses, restaurants, foot shops, meat shops, temples, public halls and so on. There are silks and satins in the shop.

Jewelry, spices, incense, paper horses and other specialized businesses, in addition to medical clinics, car repair, fortune telling, hair shaving and plastic surgery, are available in all walks of life. Big stores are also tied with "colorful buildings and happy doors" and hung with city flags to attract business. Pedestrians in the market are jostling with each other, including businessmen who do business, gentry who look at street scenes, officials who ride horses, and foreign tourists who ask for directions. Means of transportation: sedan chair, camel, ox cart, rickshaw, flatbed, flatbed, all kinds of things. Vividly displayed in front of people.
