The life fragments of the characters in the painting are closely integrated with the natural landscape, pavilions, thatched pavilions, and bridges, creating a lively atmosphere. The mountains and rocks are mainly painted with cloud-headed textures from Guo Xi of the Northern Song Dynasty, supplemented by Dong Ju's short hemp drapes, and the forest trees are in the crab-claw style, which is said to be sophisticated and sophisticated. Although it looks like Guo Xi (1023-1085), the scenery is too complicated and trivial. From the style and techniques, it can be inferred that it is the work of Li Zai (probably active in the first half of the 15th century).

The leaves are also painted very brilliantly, including front, side, back, flip, etc., and even dead leaves, insect-eaten, etc. are all depicted one by one. In addition to their thick branches, The contour lines are carefully rendered to create a sense of volume. The processing of water patterns is also very particular, and the edges of the lines are also rendered to create the effect of water waves, especially in the part where the moon is reflected, and even the craters on the moon are depicted. Through the treatment of mist in the painting, the hibiscus on the shore also shows the layers and depth of the front and rear spaces. Under the careful management of the painter, he left a large flower painting of excellent quality for future generations.
