【双语】你好！中国 | 清明上河图：繁华宋都一条街探店

《清明上河图》为北宋画家张择端所作，是中国十大传世名画之一。画卷长达5米，主要描绘了北宋时期都城东京 (今河南开封)以及汴河两岸的自然风光和繁荣景象，具有很高的历史价值和艺术价值。

The Along the Riverside During the Qingming Festival is a masterpiece created by the Northern Song Dynasty painter Zhang Zeduan, ranking among China's ten most renowned traditional paintings. The scroll is an impressive 5 meters long and primarily depicts the natural scenery and prosperous scenes along the Bian River in the capital city of the Northern Song Dynasty, known as Dongjing (modern-day Kaifeng in Henan). This painting holds significant historical and artistic value.

画里我们可以观察到宋朝的饭店门面装饰豪华，门口有个用木杆扎起的楼阁式花架子，上面挂满了绣球、花枝，类似现在饭店门口用来招揽顾客的霓虹灯。

In the artwork, one can observe the luxurious decorations of restaurants during the Song Dynasty. The facades are adorned with elaborate designs, featuring wooden structures resembling pavilions with shelves hung with embroidered balls and branches, similar to the rainbow lanterns used nowadays to attract customers to restaurants.

画中，还有“饮子”这样的店铺。《东京梦华录》记载，卖的饮子中有“砂糖冰雪冷元子、生淹水木瓜、药木瓜、砂糖绿豆甘草冰雪凉水” 等，一般都含有两三味中药，不仅可口好喝，还有养生功效。是不是和今天我们喝的奶茶果饮有的一拼?

The painting also depicts establishments such as "Yinzi" (drink shops). According to records in the Dreams of Splendors of the Eastern Capital, these shops offered beverages like "sugar snow cold yuanzi, raw soaked watermelon, medicinal watermelon, sugar green bean licorice snow-cooled water," often containing two or three traditional Chinese medicines. Not only were these drinks delicious, but they also had health benefits. Can we not draw parallels with the milk teas and fruit drinks we enjoy today?
