The Riverside Scene of Qingming Festival, one of the top ten famous paintings in China.

The Qingming Shanghe Picture is a custom painting of the Northern Song Dynasty, the painter is called Zhang Zeduan, it is a national treasure-level cultural relic, and is now stored in the Palace Museum in Beijing.

When I heard the name Zhang Zeduan, I couldn't help but be stunned, although it took a long time for Bai Wenlu's family to separate the Wenlu and Zhang families, but this painter is also surnamed Zhang, so I can't help but guess something.

The Qingming Riverside Picture of the painting is 24.8 centimeters wide and 528.7 centimeters long, and I calculated our stone carving, not to mention, this proportion is exactly the same as that on the wall.

Brother Long pointed to the stone carving and said: "The Qingming Shanghe map, in the form of a long scroll, adopts the scattered perspective composition method, records the urban appearance of Tokyo, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the living conditions of people from all walks of life at that time, which is a witness to the prosperity of Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and a portrayal of the economic situation of the city in the Northern Song Dynasty. ”

"Tokyo?" The name of the place reminds me of a small island country.

Brother Long just shrugged his shoulders and said: "It was called this name at the time, but the real place is the current Kaifeng, hey, Kaifeng, they went there, could it be that it has something to do with this place?" ”

I shook my head, this is really good, maybe, there is a painting like this here, and they went to Kaifeng again, I can't help but say, this is a signal, or rather, what is on this painting.

I thought so, Brother Long also thought so, he immediately asked the people above to prepare, and sent us all the information about the Qingming Shanghe map, we have to take a look at it.

Soon, the information of the Qingming Shanghe map was handed down, and at the same time, it also brought an information, that is, Zhang Shihong and they had arrived in Kaifeng, but they did not take the next step.

I think this is also for sure, they won't act so quickly, they are waiting for me, after all, the organ or something, only relying on Zhang Shihong, but it is difficult to solve it.

I looked at the information in my hand, and now my task is not to find them, but to unravel this Qingming Shanghe map in front of us first.

A large number of people of all colors are painted on the map of the Qingming Dynasty, such as cattle, mules, donkeys and other livestock, cars, sedan chairs, large and small boats, houses, bridges, city towers, etc., and each has its own characteristics, reflecting the characteristics of Song Dynasty architecture.

Some people say that although the scene of "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" is lively, it does not show a prosperous city scene, but a "prosperous and dangerous picture" with a sense of distress, and the officers and soldiers are lazy and pay heavy taxes.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with me, but the last kind of prosperity and danger made me think of something, that is, the prosperity that Nuwa brought to Song, this kind of prosperity is not real prosperity, on the contrary, the internal crisis, I am afraid it is not small.

There is a Qingming on the Qingming Riverside Map, but it is not a tomb sweep, it is from the Ming Dynasty that only arose, many people in the Qingming Riverside Map, are very festive, for example, there is a team to marry a wife.

The most striking thing in the picture is the long river, according to Brother Long, this is called the Bianhe River.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Bianhe River was an important transportation hub and commercial transportation artery in the country.

It lives up to its name as a meeting point for land and water transport.

This is the most important part of the whole carving, and we can take a closer look at this one, but we don't find anything.

There is a bridge over the Bianhe River, the Hongqiao.

The Hongqiao Bridge is imposing, so tall that the largest ships in the Bianhe River Basin can cross smoothly, and it is wide and strong enough to drive several animal carts full of goods side by side, which is also a great creation from the perspective of the structure of the bridge.

The entire bridge was made of timber, and it may have been that the riverbed was not conducive to the construction of piers due to the rapid flow of the Bianhe River, so the engineers and technicians of the time used their ingenuity to rivet the entire large timber side by side to support the span of the bridge.

The bridge deck is tightened with rows of timber chains to form a large and solid whole, and the load is dispersed to make the cross-river timber evenly stressed.

This is more than 1,000 years ago, without construction machinery, such a large timber was laid horizontally on the river, and the difficulty of construction can be imagined.

However, looking at the introduction on the information, combined with everything we know now, I know in my heart that the construction of this bridge may not be done manually, and it must have applied some special technology, including the technology that may be used, which is Nuwa's technology.

Of course, this kind of technology can be done now, but it has to use heavy machinery, which was obviously not available at that time.

Therefore, I conclude that our current science and technology are constantly catching up with the technology of Nuwa from outside, but only to catch up, after all, we don't have the strength to make a real solar system now.

I'm afraid that this technology alone will be difficult to peek into for hundreds of years.

Brother Long took the information and said: "The Qingming Riverside Picture is not just a simple depiction of the customs and daily life of the people, there is a hidden mystery under the surface of commercial prosperity, and there is a palpitating dark line intertwined under the bright line, and at the same time it is a picture of prosperity and danger with a sense of distress, look here." ”

We followed his finger and saw a startled horse in the suburbs, but on top of it, there was a small green dot, which came from the luminous pen.

We were all stunned, but Brother Long smiled and said, "I didn't mark it, you should know who it is, right?" ”

Zhang Shihong, he came here, and he marked it on this startling horse, this must be a hint, but we don't know now.

I looked at the above information, and the scenes such as military slackness, lack of fire protection, sloppy city defense, opening of the country's gates, invasion of commerce and trade, hoarding of grain by merchants, and disasters caused by alcohol before and after the painting made people feel a little worried.

Zhang Zeduan raised concerns about many social issues such as urban defense, security, and transportation.

When I saw this, I thought about it for a while, and suddenly I thought of a joke from before, which roughly means that a child did well in his composition, and the teacher used his composition to come up with a test question.

Then after he finished answering, the results were all wrong, and the composition was obviously written by this child, and he knew best what he thought at the time.

It can be seen that when a person sees another person's work, what he thinks of and produces is completely different, and perhaps this is just a misunderstanding of Zhang Zeduan's works by later generations.

But I'm just thinking about it, and it has nothing to do with me anyway.

Looking at the data, Bianjing was one of the largest cities in the world at the beginning of the twelfth century, with a population of 1.37 million, 8 chambers and 120 squares, and most of the buildings were brick and wood structures.

The Northern Song Dynasty experienced more than 40 major fires, so fire protection was a serious issue that the government and the opposition were most concerned about at that time.

At that time, the fire prevention measures in Bianjing were very strict, and each square was equipped with a fire watchtower to observe the fire alarm.

Downstairs, there is an army called "hidden firemen", who are in charge of firefighting.

Zhang Zeduan painted the Wanghuo Tower, but no one upstairs watched, and what was even more exaggerated was that the two rows of barracks under the Wanghuo Tower were converted into restaurants.

It also means that the fire fighting here has disappeared.

Wait, I thought about it for a while, and suddenly had an idea, the frequent fires in the early stage may not be natural disasters, but man-made disasters, for example, what is Nuwa doing, even when Zhao Guangyi was in power, it is possible to get some Nuwa's technology.

They were experimenting, and then there was a fire, and in Zhang Zeduan's work, the disappearance of these firefighters may not be because of irresponsibility, but in reality, there is no need for so many people.

It's just an idea, but it's possible.

After looking at it again, when Zhang Zeduan painted this painting, he wanted to show some social diseases to Song Huizong through "Qingming Riverside Picture".

In this regard, it is because Song Taizong, that is, Zhao Guangyi, took political measures to encourage literati to admonish, so paying attention to social reality and court politics became a common creative trend among Song Dynasty painters.

Looking at the information, it is this Zhao Guangyi again, it seems that it has a certain relationship with him.

However, after this painting was put up, Song Huizong was obsessed with fine painting auspicious and auspicious signs, so although he saw the intention of the painting "Qingming Riverside Picture", he was unwilling to collect it, and only rewarded it after the frontispiece was inscribed.

Looking further down, there are some experiences that have been circulated in the Qingming Shanghe map, among them, there is that during the Jingkang Change, this painting has actually fallen into the hands of Jin.

"Brother Wen, I have a conjecture." Zhang Siqiao said suddenly.

"Tell me about it."

"It's the future generations, those people in the future generations, the reason why they can't get back Nuwa's treasure may not be because they don't want to get it, but because they can't get it."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Siqiao pointed to this Qingming Shanghe map and said, "Didn't the real picture have already reached the hands of the Jin people at that time?" How did you say this painting came about? ”

I was stunned for a moment, that's right, if the painting really got into the hands of the Jin people, and we saw this, it was obviously a work of the Southern Song Dynasty, so how did this painting come out? It can't be Zhang Zeduan's reincarnation, right?

After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly clapped my hands, I damn it, why didn't I think that the Zhang family had actually been separated at that time, and when Zhang Zeduan gave Qingming Shanghe Map, it might be a fake.

I glanced at the content of the information, and there was indeed a discussion about the authenticity of the whole painting, and the simplest discussion was that the painting was actually fake, but the real painting had never been accounted for.

If that painting in the museum is really fake, then this stone wall in front of us ......

I suddenly thought of a question, this painting is real, and the one that Zhang Zeduan admonished Song Hui Song is fake, why did he do it?

Is it just for the sake of a real or false painting, or is it just because of the content of the painting?

Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of a possibility.

Maybe this painting is not so simple just a painting, it has a more important function, maybe it is a key, maybe it is a map, maybe, it is a conspiracy.
