The background of the whole scene is rolling mountains. The lower left corner of the scene is brine well, above which there is high shelf with three floors. The jigger on the top hangs a bucket, and four people standing on the shelf are drawing salt water. The salt groove by the shelf is used to store salt water, form which a bamboo water pipe will lead the salt water into the stove at the lower right corner of the scene. The long stove has a caldron on it; two people is working there, and one of them is taking care of the fire at the stove door. The four people in the middle look like to be transporting salt packets; the two people at the upper right are hunting with cross-bow.
