Who is not shaken by its prosperity when it comes to the qingming river map
In the 5-metre-long rolls of paintings, the qin street cars, the merchants, the ships on the river, the men, the women and the children, the men, the men, the children, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the women, the men, the women, the men, the women, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the women, the men, the men, the men, the women, the men, the men, the women, the men, the men, the men, the men, the women, the men, the men, the women, the men, the men, the women, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the women, the men, the men, the women, the men, the men, the men, the men, the men, the women, the women, the men, the men, the。
But if you take a magnifying glass and magnify the painting 10 times more, you'll be sweating all over the world -- where zhang zeng is painting in the world, clearly using a brush to "report": this is a bubble, and north song will rot
The details that were ignored for almost a millennium are the deadly pens of the dead。
First look at the city's “safe lifeline” - the fire tower。
According to the law of the north song, at the foot of the heavenly son, he must build a fire tower every 300 steps, with five soldiers on a permanent rotational basis, and a 200-man “submarine” unit downstairs。
Why? North song zhongkyung is a brick house with a narrow street, and if there is a fire, it is a fire camp. In the past, there had been a fire that had directly burned more than 40,000 houses, even in the palace。
But what about the fire tower
There was no human shadow on the table, and even worse, the barracks downstairs, which were supposed to be stationed at the firecrackers, had been transformed into restaurants and teas, and tables had been filled with tables, and soldiers had been drinking and talking in military uniforms with their predators。
There was a complete breakdown of the fire-fighting line, which is not the capital city and is clearly a “powder barrel” that explodes at any time。
Look at the army that defends the country. It rots in the bones。
Under the foundations of the wall, several soldiers were paralyzed in the sun, their armor was thrown aside, their weapons were lying around the wall, others even took their shoes off, and their mouths were full of grass. There was no one on the wall who should have stood guard, and no arrows or rolling stones were seen。
Even more distressing is the fact that the walls of the city are about to collapse — the walls have been disintegrated extensively and the ground has been flooded with rain, and in some cases there is even a gap, with no signs of repair。
You know, the heart of the north song, the "firewall" of the heart, is nothing. There was no reason why kim went south, and the road was broken, so that it was easy to break tung-kyung: the army had been out of combat and the city had been set up。
The traffic and the traffic in the painting are all the more messy。
The iris bridge on the river, which was the “traffic hub” at the time, was blocked. Civil servants meet each other in a palanquin and a horseman on a horse. The limousine and the horseman keep each other together and point their noses at each other, while the pedestrians next to them hide and fall。
It is even more dangerous under the bridge: a large ship full of cargo, without the mast coming down, is about to crash into the bridge hole, the boatmen jump, some pull ropes, some swing bamboo poles, some jump into the water and push the boat, some make a mess。
The other boats in the channel are also crowded, without order and without command of the movement. As you know, the river is the “lifeline” of north song, where food and supplies from the south reach the capital, which is a major problem with the city's supply。
Even worse, many of the food ships in the painting are not fed at all, but are filled with strange stones — this is song’s obsession with the “facestone”. In order to satisfy the emperor's private desires, officials forcibly recruited civilian ships, misappropriated resources and prevented the transportation of official food, used the opportunity to accumulate and accumulate in the country, and then the price of food in kyokyo went up fourfold and the people could not afford food and were hungry。
In addition to this, the urban chaos in the picture is a greater exposure to the decay of society。
Street enders, poachers are visible, and some directly put stalls in the middle of the street, making already crowded streets more difficult to access. There are many beggars on the side of the road, who kneel on their knees and beg on the floor, while in the nearby winehouse, the dignitaries are pushing for a cup, eating and drinking, so that the gap between the rich and the poor can be seen。
The entrance to the city was far more ridiculous, with no soldiers to inspect. An extraterritorial group of camels entered the city in a junction, carrying cargo on them, and the people who followed were suspicious. You know, when north song and liao and kim were tense, and their spies were often involved in intelligence-seeking in the city, the city's doors were so relaxed that it was a national security joke。
There is also the tax officer in the painting, who does not pay taxes seriously, but rather takes bribes in the face of traders. Some of the shops, which sell contraband, are undetected, and the co-operatives will no longer be able to hide。
Zhang was drawing this painting during the year of the bing song kwok, and it was still plentiful on the surface, but it was already full of ashes. As a court painter, he was unable to persuade the emperor directly to hide the crisis in the picture, hoping that song would understand his “twilight”。
But song's eyes are only calligraphy, drawings and quartz, and he doesn't even think about what's in them. He was immersed in his world of art, turning a blind eye to the corruption of the democratic people's republic of korea, the collapse of the army and the suffering of the people。
A little while later, it broke out. The soldiers went south to break down zhongkyung easily, and song’s and song’s chin zong were abducted, and a large number of members of the royal family, ministers and palace girls were taken captive, and the wealth accumulated by song for many years in the north was ransacked and destroyed, after 167 years of north song’s dynasty。
Now it is only after reading the qingming river map that it is never an hymn, but a “warn of the dead” written decades earlier。
The emptyness of the fire towers, the lazyness of the army, the chaos of fortune, the chaos of the wells of the city, each of which is told in every detail: the luxuriousness of the north song, which is only a bubble dry from the outside。
With a brush, zhang notes the final festivities of a dynasty, and hides the gravest warning: the real crisis was never a sudden disaster, but the numbness and decay that lay behind it。
