Another Chinese painting - 19th c. Shanghai school?

The frame looks to be from the 1940's, if not earlier, and the painting does not look to have ever been removed.

I had guessed 1988 since the damage to the silk and creases probably occurred over time prior to framing, but i suppose the damage may have occurred early in the life of the painting, just before framing.

Also, the detail to the borders and blanket that the figures are sitting on just seems to have the style of swastika brocade used on porcelains in the late 19th, too. To me, it is quite like the artist intended to paint a plaque, only did so on silk instead of porcelain.

Thanks as always.
