Qingming shanghe, dubbed China’s Mona Lisa, is a revered painting attributed to Zhang Zeduan (960–1127). Up the River of Time is the first study to treat the Qingming shanghe as a painting tradition, showing how the Northern Song original and later iterations shaped the norms of painting and redefined the meanings of reproduction and forgery.
