The work is in the form of a long scroll and adopts the composition method of scattered perspective to integrate the complex scenery into a unified and varied picture. The painting is mainly divided into two parts, one is the countryside and the other is the market.

This painting is divided into three parts: First, the spring scenery in the countryside of Bianjing, the description of the environment and characters, highlights the specific time and customs of the Qingming Festival, and kicks off the whole painting.

The second is the busy Bianhe Wharf. This is the famous Hongqiao Wharf area. It is bustling with people and is truly a meeting point for land and water transportation.

The third is the lively urban streets, with men, women, old and young, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, all kinds of people from all walks of life.

All kinds of transportation vehicles are available here, and they are displayed in front of people in vivid colors.

Zhang Zeduan paid great attention to details when painting this painting. The expressions of the characters are lifelike and the movements are vivid, making people feel as if they are actually there.

While the painter pays attention to the depiction of actual things, he also pays attention to the interest of the painting itself.
