How it's used
This title refers to a specific, world-famous historical scroll painting depicting daily life in the Song Dynasty. It is treated as a proper noun and is almost exclusively used in academic, historical, or museum contexts. Because it is a singular, iconic work of art, it is rarely used in casual conversation unless discussing a specific exhibition or historical topic.
