This is a traditional table screen crafted with cinnabar carving technique, with a steady and heavy wooden frame. The entire screen surface is vermilion, using relief carving techniques to reproduce the prosperous scene of an ancient riverside marketplace. The picture is rich in details, with layered water ripples, coming and going boats, dense crowds, and houses along the street all carved meticulously, vividly restoring the life style of ancient cities. It is an exquisite work combining traditional carving craftsmanship and folk culture.
