清明上河图芝加哥版

A grand traditional Chinese ink and meticulous brushwork long scroll painting, fully mimicking the artistic style, scatter perspective composition, and ancient yellowed silk coloring texture of Zhang Zeduan's *Along the River During the Qingming Festival* from the Northern Song Dynasty. Core scene: A bustling bird's-eye view of modern Chicago's riverfront. The focal point is a massive steel double-decker bascule bridge (DuSable Bridge/Michigan Avenue Bridge), with its deck extremely congested—filled with dense modern cars, yellow taxis, and Chicago buses, all finely outlined with brush strokes. Environmental details: Double-decker cruise ships carrying modern tourists, water taxis, and kayaks in the Chicago River. Dense Beaux-Arts skyscrapers (similar to the Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower) stand on both banks, painted using the traditional "jiehua" (boundary painting) technique. Elevated railway structures and moving "L" trains are visible in the background. Character activities: The riverfront walkway and bridge are packed with hundreds of tiny modern figures in contemporary casual wear—some jogging, some taking photos with smartphones, some queuing at roadside hot dog stands, some walking dogs. The entire painting is extremely detailed, noisy and busy, rendered entirely in ancient ink and earth tones.
