清明上河 · 一日长卷 Along the River

Be the young painter who makes the Qingming scroll. Unroll a Song-dynasty handscroll on a lacquer table and step into a living Bianjing drawn stroke by stroke in ink and mineral colour: dawn fields, the grain fleet on the Bian, the crisis at the Rainbow Bridge, the city gate, the streets at dusk. Frame each moment at its instant and watch it bloom from ink into colour on your own scroll; step in to change what happens; at nightfall unroll the day you painted and press your seal.
