A bridge extends from the outside of the picture to the other bank at the foot of the mountain. On the bridge, a scholar is walking with a staff, and there is a thatched pavilion house on the bank. Further up, the mountains are continuous and the scenery is deep. A “S” shaped valley in the middle makes the peaks on both sides not crowded in the narrow and long composition, highlighting the lofty and far-reaching characteristics.
