The architecture in Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival records all kinds of architecture in Song Dynasty, and the famous painting Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is the first one. This painting was painted by Zhang Zeduan, a painter in the Northern Song Dynasty. The whole picture is 528 cm long and only 24.4 cm wide. The picture shows the life scene on both sides of the Bianliang River in the Song Dynasty. This painting reproduces the prosperous city life of Bianliang City in Song Dynasty, and reflects the diversity of citizens' life and business activities on the city streets. It depicts a large number of houses and buildings and provides a street gallery in the Song Dynasty for future generations. As can be seen from the picture, there are all kinds of shops in Bianjing city, and the business is very developed. There are also small shops near the pier. These shops are tile-roofed houses with simple structures. Residential buildings are similar to store buildings. They are rectangular houses covered with prominent mountains and tiled roofs. Some houses have roofs and tile roofs. Some also use a bucket arch, vermilion gate, surrounded by high walls and painted beams and columns, which are very luxurious. The city gate, the most magnificent building in the picture, is the dividing line between Bianjing and the outside world, and also the symbol of Liangcheng as the capital city. This is the highest-level building in the picture, and it is the standard official style. On this huge tower, there are layers of gorgeous arches. There are 3 or 4 bridges in the picture. The most distinctive feature is Hongqiao outside the city, which is a single-span bridge. There are few remains of early wooden bridges in China. This Hongqiao shows us the charm of the outstanding artistic ingenuity of the early wooden bridge. Inside and outside Hongqiao is a bustling area outside Bianjing, with many shops and various architectural forms. In short, we can see from this picture that the capital, bustling downtown, towering gates, various types of shops and houses in the Northern Song Dynasty are a good picture of social customs! This is a true portrayal of houses and shops in the Song Dynasty! Therefore, it truly reproduces the face of these buildings at that time.
