Qingming Scroll
Along the River during Qingming Festival
Where the great bridge, called the Rainbow Bridge (虹橋 Hong Qiao), crosses the river is the center and main focus of the scroll. A great commotion animates the people on the bridge. A boat approaches at an awkward angle with its mast not completely lowered, threatening to crash into the bridge. The crowds on the bridge and along the riverside are shouting and gesturing towards the boat. Someone near the apex of the bridge lowers a rope to the outstretched arms of the crew below.
