    这幅画是张择端全景式的画。这画的名字是《清明上河图》。这幅画里,张择端表现农村的春天,很忙的汴河港口,和兴旺汴京的街路。这幅画上也有很大的汴河,很多人,和那个世纪的建筑。

张择端是山东人,他是南宋的宫廷画师。他的画风是山水,他的画风对中国风景画历史很重要。《清明上河图》是张择端仅存的画。

这幅画非常有名,因为它表现了那个世纪的皇帝、 贵族和平民的生活方式。很多史学家们觉得这幅画表现出南宋世纪的开封的特色和有钱人和穷人的生活。这幅画也有名是因为它精确地描绘了建筑、人们、船舶、市场、商店、桥梁和风景。这幅画描绘了五百五十多人不同的姿态和表情。很多人觉得这幅画是中国的《Mona Lisa》。

虽然这幅画表现贵族和平民的生活方式,但是我觉得如果张择端也画别的季节,可以表现更多平民的苦难。因为春天是最好的季节,而平民们在夏天和冬天会遭受到更多的痛苦。

This panoramic painting is by Zhang Zeduan. The name of this painting is Along side the river in Qingming. Zhang Zeduan shows the spring in rural areas, busy Bian River ports, and thriving streets of Bianjing. This painting also has the big Bian River, many people, and this time period’s architecture.

Zhang Zeduan is a native of Shandong. He was a court painter of the Northern Song Dynasty. His style of painting was called “shan shui.” His style of painting was very important to the history of Chinese landscape painting. Alongside the River in Qingming is the only surviving painting of Zhang Zeduan.

This painting is so famous because it shows the emperor, the aristocrats, and the commoner’s lifestyle. Many historians think that this painting reveals Kaifeng’s characteristics and the rich and the poor’s life during the Northern Song Dynasty. This painting is also famous because it has accurate depictions of architecture, people, boats, marketplaces, stores, bridges, and scenery. It has more than 550 people with different postures and expressions.

Although this painting shows the life of the rich and the poor, I think if he drew other seasons, it would have shown more hardships of the commoners. Because spring is the best season, summer and winter depictions will show more hardships.
