The picture is of long pines and dense forests, and Potuo Water Pavilion. There are two women in the water pavilion, one holding a fan to sit idly, the other leaning on the railing to overlook, and the other coming down the lotus pond by boat. The water pavilion in the picture page is sketched with a fine brush. It is delicately portrayed and elegantly colored. Although it is large, it is beautiful. The highly realistic painting style of this picture inherits the tradition of the painting academy of the Northern Song Dynasty, while the misty and ethereal lotus pond adds to the lyrical effect of the picture, which is also true and unreal.
