Animated Long Scroll

     In the "Qing Court Version of Up the River During Qingming," the National Palace Museum employed seamless blending technology to combine images projected from several high-definition projectors into one single long display wall, made to resemble a handscroll. This allows audience members to immerse themselves in the tech-generated scenes and enjoy a realistic experience of browsing through a scroll painting.

     This handscroll depicts scenes of ancient life around the Qingming Festival in early spring. The scroll illustrates many stories of officials, noble families, scholars, the elderly, children, priests, beggars, performers, and vendors in the imperial city through which the river runs. Traffic accidents, tripped up pedestrians, and common folk fighting over water are just some of the flashes of everyday life that have been captured and immortalized. These everyday scenes contrast greatly with the magnificent palaces and gardens, and the pavilions, towers, and artificial landscapes of stately homes depicted in the painting.
