He Jian depicts a traditional local Sichuan banquet in this work with ink and colour. His choice of a familiar subject matter presents an interesting yet conflicting tension of the classical and the contemporary in this fresco - like work. Using traditional ink and colour as his palette to present contemporary social motifs has become the artist's signature, making him an outstanding artist among the pioneering artists.
