  On the olive core, which is only three centimeters high, the picture is composed in a panoramic way. The river bank is embossed and the pine trees are in the shade. Two fishing boats are berthed on the bank. The passengers and the people on the bank are drinking and having fun. Although the size is small, they are good at using high relief, hollowing and other carving techniques to present the theme of the picture. The expressions of the characters are vivid and dynamic. The details of the pine trees and ships are extremely meticulous, and the texture of the rocks is carved with an axe, and the thin lines are carved in the shade to depict the space of the distant mountains. At one end, a cover can be opened and closed, The whole piece of nuclear carving is extremely exquisite, which is covered with a crouching kitten. Its technical expression is as clear as bamboo carving, and its artistic conception is as distant as landscape painting. There is an inscription on it, “Geng Chen, Meng Xia, looks ahead, and Chen Ziyun makes it.”.
