Distinguish and appreciate

From the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, we can see several very distinctive artistic features: this painting is written with pens and works, and its color is elegant, which is different from the general boundary painting, that is, the so-called "number of families". The composition adopts a bird's-eye panoramic view method, which truly and intensively depicts the typical area in the southeast corner of Bianjing at that time.

The author uses the traditional hand-rolled form and "scattered perspective" to organize the picture. The picture is long but not redundant, complicated but not chaotic, tight and compact, in one go. The scenery in the painting is as big as the silent Yuan Ye, as big as the vast rivers and as big as the towering battlements; As small as the characters on the boat, the goods displayed on the vendors and the words on the market, there was no loss. The picture is interspersed with various plots, which is coherent and interesting at the same time.
