【正确答案】 1、正确答案：A famous painting in ancient China, Riverside Scene at the Qingming Festival, depicts the bustling and flourishing streets of Bianjing—the capital city of the North Song Dynasty—during the Qingming Festival. At Qingming Festival, going to Bian River was a custom at that time, when people would engage in business activities, like holiday gatherings of today. The painting features grand and complex scenes with a rigorous structure, which can be divided into three parts: scenes of the suburbs, Bian River and city streets. In the suburban part, farmers are working in the fields and the rich are returning from tomb-sweeping. On the road are wheelbarrow holders, porters, as well as people on horseback and in sedan chairs rushing into the city. The scene of the Bian River is the most splendid: streams of people are bustling about the arch bridge which virtually resembles a rainbow over the river. Under the bridge are boats competing against each other for the right of way. Some interesting scenes are depicted in great detail: an incident that a horse has shied on the bridge, scaring a donkey , attracts the attention of many onlookers, for instance. Then, the part of Bianjing city, the political, economic and cultural center of that time is presented in section three. The streets are lined with government buildings, residential houses, workshops, teahouses and restaurants. The heavy traffic of the streets and people from all walks of life, coming and going, can be seen in the picture, all conveying an atmosphere of excitement and bustle. The carefully presented scenes in the picture form an interesting contrast and good sense of rhythm. The depiction of the architecture, business and transportation in Bianjing vividly reflects the prosperity of the capital city of the Northern Song Dynasty.
