Abstract

Intactness of the present scroll of “Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival” and controversy about its missing last part or frontispiece concern us today. The postscript of “Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival” by Li Dongyang in Ming Dynasty that said it had a length of over 666cm tells us the present scroll with 528.7cm is not intact. According to postscript of Li Dongyang, many scenes and objects in original painting cannot be found in the present scroll of the painting. Therefore, we can be certain that the contents of the present scroll of “Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival” are missing. And according to relevant historical documents, archaeological materials and current topography and landform of today Kaifeng, we can ascertain through analysis that the missing scene of the present scroll of “Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival” is located in the outskirts. The layout of painting scroll recorded by Li Dongyang, describing it’s simple but comprehensive from outer suburb to near city, and relevant literatures further demonstrate that the missing scene of the present scroll of “Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival” is located in eastern outskirts. Consequently, the conclusion that the missing part of picture scroll is frontispiece instead of last part is drawn.
