Starting from the Shaobo Sluice, the oldest navigation facility in the history of the canal, along the ancient and modern time axis, it reproduces the depictions in Chinese and foreign art works, as well as the protection and governance of the contemporary canal, and explores the profound heritage and prosperity of the Yangzhou section of the canal. Yangzhou, a famous canal city, "was born of luck and prospered by luck". This film uses the painting method of Chinese painting to restore Yangzhou's historic sites, adding the texture of rice paper to the content, making it have the aesthetic characteristics of traditional Chinese painting. Scene design and composition are based on traditional Chinese aesthetics, paying attention to white space and artistic conception.

Another major artistic feature of this film is to make ancient paintings move. The characters in the Qing Dynasty work "The Canal Range Rover" in the film seem to have traveled through thousands of years to come to the audience, and their dynamic expressions and activation movements are lifelike.
