This painting shows three busy scenes. On the top left, two men in colorful clothes stand near a decorated cloth, while others walk beside a covered cart pulled by a white ox. The middle top scene has a similar cart with a person riding inside. The bottom half splits into three smaller pictures: a man carrying water pots, people gathering water from a stone well, and a man walking with a bundle on his back. The artist focused on everyday life, showing how people moved and got water. The bright colors and simple shapes make the scenes clear and lively.
