Abstract

The article focuses on a rare showing of "Along the River During the Quinming Festival," a 12th century scroll painted by the Chinese artist Zhang Zeduan. The painting is considered China's best known work of art. Due to its fragility, it has seldom been displayed, even in its home, the Palace Museum in Beijing. The scroll is part of an exhibition of art being shown in Hong Kong to mark the 10th anniversary of its return to China, which the government hopes will spur patriotism there.
