The three-section tableau of the painting is presented in a rhythmic yet contrastive way. The remoteness in the beginning poses a sharp contrast to the tension at the Rainbow Bridge and the lively street scenes. In the arrangement of the scenery, there are high and low points. After a slow beginning in the first section, the picture proceeds to its climatic scene at the Rainbow Bridge, and after portraying the street scenes inside and outside the city gate in the third section, the street scenes suddenly stop. The effect of lasting appeal that Chinese fine arts emphasizes is well embodied and realized in this painting.
