The first is that all 824 characters have first and last names. In the whole picture, there are 824 characters, each with a name, pretending to lie in ambush in boats, cars, restaurants and pavilions. It seems peaceful and prosperous, but in fact it is full of dangers. Opening the book, spies and assassins from Jin, Liao, Xixia, North Korea and other countries have been lurking in the picture, and 824 characters have been resurrected one by one. As long as the passenger ship crossed Hongqiao, it opened the prelude to the collapse of the Northern Song Dynasty Empire.
Second, "painting eyes" is the key to understanding paintings. The most dramatic "eye painting" in the whole painting is the passenger ship in the river, which is a clue buried by the painter Zhang Zeduan. Only then can we understand the true meaning of the whole painting. The ship was about to cross bridge opening, but it didn't put down its mast. Seeing that it was about to hit, the people on board quickly put down the mast. It seems to be a moment of negligence, but in fact it is intentional.
It is precisely because of this crisis that the eyes of hundreds of people at Qiaotou and on both sides of the strait are all gathered in one place. The ship was in a hurry to lower the mast, and the shore was shouting. Everyone on the shore and the bridge rushed towards the boat. On both sides of the Bianhe River, Zhang, who runs a restaurant on the left bank, Fang Jing and Shi, who runs an inn, and Lei Zhuniang, a maid serving food in a tea house on the right bank, all seem to be the same in terms of the land arm of the ship and the face of the tea shed. It's like going to a long-awaited big event.
The third mysterious figure hidden in the picture
On Hongqiao, a middle-aged fat man looked at the river and shouted. He is Wan Fu, an official of Gu Town, Governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, Zuo Jun. He doesn't know that this seemingly ordinary passenger ship will be related to the life and death of Dasong. He will also be involved in a profound and sinister huge case with Gu Zhen.
A middle-aged man in gray is riding a donkey on the bridge. He is the head of the fishing line in Beijing. His name is Jiang Wei, also known as "Ginger Fish Head". He looked around, looking for a man in a hurry, who triggered the economic crisis in Bianjing. Niu Xiaowu, the first young man in Qiaonan, was about to go to town to sell cheese and fish, but he didn't know that someone had hidden something in his laundry list. This small object will shake the mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty.
The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival completely restored the lives of ordinary people in the Northern Song Dynasty. If you want to appear in this painting, which of these 824 characters do you want to be?
