Step into *Along the River During the Qingming Festival*

At the Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden in Kaifeng, the folds of time gently unfold. This living garden, based on Zhang Zeduan's famous Song Dynasty painting, holds the most vibrant genes of Bianjing's marketplace. On the Rainbow Bridge, vendors' hawking rises and falls, cargo ships at the canal wharf are laden with silk, satin, and spices, and the puppet show in the Goulan Washe is reaching its climax. Acrobats in Song Dynasty costumes walk by with porcelain bowls on their heads, and the scent of freshly steamed soup dumplings wafts from the wine flags in the wind. As dusk stains the Bian River, hundreds of lanterns are lit one after another, and the *Dream of the Song Dynasty* live-action show begins. The water curtain reflects carved beams and painted buildings, the sound of horse hooves shatters the starry river, and the lyrics of Liu Yong and the sword of Xin Qiji intertwine in the light and shadow. Around the corner, you might encounter the swift hooves of "Yue Fei Spearing Xiao Liang Wang" or the resounding gavel of "Judge Bao's Case." Fragments of history transform into tangible scenery. This is more than just a replica of a city; it allows the brush and ink of *Along the River During the Qingming Festival* to breathe. Come and fulfill this thousand-year-old promise, be a swordsman under the lamplight in the painting, or an idler drinking and listening to music under the eaves.
