From the presentation of the green landscape in A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, we can see the pursuit of longevity by the royal family in the Song Dynasty. The concept of health preservation and the way of cultivating immortals advocated by Taoism meet the needs of the royal family. In the green landscape, the actual landscape is treated with colors that can't be seen in reality, such as azurite and stone green. To a certain extent, this shows the overseas fairy mountain with the secret of longevity in people's imagination.

The natural scenery of the picture scroll is meticulous and true, which is more closely combined with people's activities and shows a broader social life. The natural scenery deliberately depicted in the picture not only shows the vastness of mountains, water and sky, but also outlines the endless changes of nature in detail. Deep rocks and valleys, flat slopes of peaks and valleys, flowing streams and flying springs, and waves and clouds make thousands of miles of mountains and rivers endless and tortuous, fully demonstrating the magnificent scenery of the motherland.

At the same time, there are many people's activities in the natural environment, such as life scenes such as water villages and wild cities, fishing boats and yachts, small bridges and waterwheels, thatched pavilions, and quite real fishing scenes. It reflects nature with ordinary daily life and labor scenes.
