What is the origin of the name of the Riverside Map on Qingming Festival?

The name of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival comes from The Biography of Ban Biao in the Later Han Dynasty, which was a long-term national policy of "restraining Wu Peiwen" in the Northern Song Dynasty. As a result, the national economy tends to be prosperous, and there has been another peaceful and prosperous time after the Tang Dynasty. The majestic momentum and prosperous scene shown in The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival best represent Song Huizong and Evonne's thought of "Yan Wu and Wen Xiu". Therefore, the word "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" is a pun, and there is a sound outside the string.

"Shang" in "Shanghe" is a locative word. At that time, Kaifeng had a population of nearly one million, and everyone's rations were transported by Bianhe River and Caihe River, which played an important role in Bianjing's social life. On the map, the Bianhe River is located in the north and on the upper side, so it is called the Shanghe River. Therefore, this painting depicts the upper reaches of the Qingming Festival, which has nothing to do with sweeping graves.
