bhchao Posted August 9, 2004 at 07:09 AM Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 at 07:09 AM Check out this awesome scroll. Most of us have probably seen this scroll by Zhang Zeduan depicting city life in the Song dynasty. The scroll was discovered in good shape despite being more than 800 years old. http://afe.easia.columbia.edu/song/main/main_b.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confucius Posted August 10, 2004 at 06:29 PM Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 at 06:29 PM If you're ever in the area of Kaifeng, Henan province then you can see a theme park where that scroll is brought to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcopolo79 Posted November 30, 2004 at 09:03 AM Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 at 09:03 AM bbhkg, um, 你被宰了. I bought a copy of 清明上河圖 from some jackass in Nanjing's 鼓樓 who told me about how he'd labriously painted it, taking him a total of over two months. It was obviously printed, so I bargained hard, and felt quite accomplished, until I went to the local crap market and saw multiple units on sale for a fraction of what I've bargained it down for. I later saw it repeadtedly in tourist markets throughout the mainland, so in the end I gave it to a friend, telling him about how some local artist stated that he'd this was his 傑作, his masterpiece, the culmination of decades of dilligent study and refined technique. Regardless, it is a fascinating portrait of a moment in history, and beautiful to admire, irrespective of how many copies might be circulating about.
