The ship is more than eight minutes long from beginning to end, about two meters high. The high and open part in the middle is a hut covered with a canopy made of bamboo leaves. There is a small window next to it, four on the left, four on the right and eight on the left. Open the window, and the carved railings are opposite. Close the window, and see the inscription "The mountain is high and the moon is small, the truth is clear" on the right, and the inscription "The breeze is Xu Lai, the water is quiet" on the left. The inscription is drawn by azurite.
There are three people sitting in the bow. The man with a tall hat and many beards in the middle is Su Dongpo, with Fo Yin on his right and Lu Zhi on his left. Su Dongpo and Huang Lu Zhi look at a painting and calligraphy banner together. Su Dongpo's right hand holds the right end of the calligraphy and painting banner, and his left hand gently presses Lu Zhi's back. Lu Zhi left hand holding the end of the banner, right hand pointing to the calligraphy and painting banner, as if to say something. Su Dongpo showed his right foot, Huang Luzhi showed his left foot, each leaning slightly, and two knees close to each other were hidden in the folds under the banner of calligraphy and painting. Fo Yin is very much like Maitreya Buddha. He opened his heart, exposed his chest and looked up. His expression has nothing to do with Su Dongpo and Huang Luzhi. Fo Yin put his right knee flat, bent his right arm and supported it on the boat, and erected his left knee. His left arm leans against his left knee and hangs rosaries, which are clearly counted.
