In terms of composition, the layout of Chunxiao in Han Palace is very spatial, and the biggest feature of the painting is that the house and yard divide the picture into two. Rows of palace houses run through the picture from right to left, but only half of the houses are exposed on the picture, and the roof is not drawn. The courtyard and the house each occupy half the area, which increases the horizontal space of the picture.

Some ladies are lying in the house reading books and playing the piano, while others are enjoying the scenery and chatting outside the yard. They describe from inside to outside, from one room to another, from one yard to another, from outside to inside. The vertical space of the whole picture also opens with the activities of the characters. At the same time, the painter also described the life activities of some characters, making the picture fluctuate, causing the appreciator to linger and produce a * * * sound.

The painter does not forget to enrich the picture while pulling the vertical and horizontal space of the picture. The layout of the picture is ingenious, the characters sit or stand, and each group of characters echoes each other, making the picture relaxed and full of rhythm. In short, the painter freely arranges the composition on a long scroll of 5.7 meters, and the characters are arranged just right, simple and complicated. ?
