In the picture, there are more than 40 figures -- all lifelike and with different expressions. The painting is five scenes in one: the Pipa performance, dancing people, musical concert, resting place and departing guests. The skillfully created painting employed screens and instruments to connect and separate different sections. In each of the five episodes, Han plays the main actor. The picture depicts Han's psychology: having no trust in the emperor, he had no choice but to indulge himself in entertainment to escape worry.

The Qingming Festival By the Riverside

The Qingming Festival By the Riverside was done by Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) painter Zhang Zeduan.

The Qingming Festival By the Riverside is a silk scroll, stretching 528 cm long and 24.8 cm wide. The backdrop is the Bian River winding through the then capital Bianjing, today’s Kaifeng in C. China’s Henan Province. It depicts a panoramic scene of Bianjing during the Qingming Festival, a festival for mourning the dead. During that time, many people went to the Qingming Festival street fairs.
