Zhang Xun once mentioned the references of Chiang's paintings to Jian Jiang and Tang Yin. In this work, simple composition, light coloured and flat perspectives were used. Rough rocky hills from afar were depicted using dried brushstrokes and criss-crossing strokes. This technique was obtained from Xinan School of Art. A warm ochre colour tone was applied to highlight the depth of mountains, accompanied with green to give a balance. Mist concealed forests in the middle ground, bridges creates more depth to the painting. The foreground was carefully depicted with an ancient pine and cottages. Scholars gathered to admire the mountainous relief. Subject matters are put on the right, and a poem by Fan Shihu was then put on the left to maintain the balance. Chiang believed painting is not for pleasing viewers but to create his own style, thus making his paintings unique.
