In Beijing, the capital city of China, there is a boulevard running from east to west. This is the famous Chang’nAvenue. It has a history of more than 600 years and is renowned as the “foremost boulevard in China”. The wide and straight Chang’an Avenue and the central axis running north-south meet at right angles inTian’anmen Square in the center of the city. This cross-like formation of the streets in the city center has determinedthe directions of all other streets in Beijing, with numerous vertical and horizontal lines crisscrossing each other in neatpatterns like a chessboard, giving the city a sense of grandeur. Chang’an Avenue was constructed between 1406 and 1420, the same time when the imperial city was built. It wasan important part of the general plan to build a larger city of Beijing during the Ming Dynasty. Chang’an Avenue, inthe strict sense, refers to the 6.7-kilometre-long street running from Jianguomen in the east to Fuxingmen in the west.In recent years, the government has reconstructed Chang’an Avenue section by section, and in the process extended theavenue in both ends. Its western end now reaches the east entrance of the Capital Steel and Iron Plant and its eastern endreaches the Yunhe Square in Tongzhou District. The avenue is now 47 kilometres long. On Chang’an Avenue one can find places of historic interest and experience local customs. On both sides of theavenue, the sumptuous imperial city makes an interesting contrast with modem high-rises, becoming a distinctive featureof Beijing. The ancient buildings are also witnesses to history——they record the past of Beijing while predicting a morebeautiful future for the city. Beijing is the center of China and Chang’an Avenue is the center of Beijing. Chang’an Avenue reflects Beijing’seconomic achievements, and is the symbol of the Chinese nation which is growing stronger and stronger. The year 2009 is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The development ofChina over the past 60 years has made the Chinese people proud and the world surprised. To celebrate this great event,commissioned by Beijing Publishing Group and Guangdong Xinhua Issue Group, a team of outstanding young artistsfrom the Central Academy of Fine Arts have created the picture titled "Chang’an Avenue - Reflections of Progress toProsperity". With representative natural landscape and sights of human interest along Chang’an Avenue and its extensionline as the subject matter, the picture depicts scenes of harmony and prosperity on the most famous avenue in China,which can be acclaimed as the “Riverside Scene at the Qingming Festival ”（Qingming Shanghe Tu, painted by ZhangZeduan） of the new era. To showcase the achievements of China’s economic construction over the past 60 years and express people’swish for prosperity and stability through the art of painting, the picture "Chang’an Avenue Reflections of Progress toProsperity" is undoubtedly the best gift for the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.
