There is heavy traffic on the streets: carts coming and going; some people in twos or threes, either walking in a hurry or stopping for a look of whatever interests them; others in groups talking in high spirits, or looking around enjoying the street scene. Shop owners are hospitably soliciting ( 招揽 ) customers. Suddenly, a cart drawn by four mules ( 骡 ) is seen rushing along, adding a sense of surprise to the leisurely scene. Here, vendors ( 小贩 ), yamen runners, scholars, monks, old men, and young children, all look vivid and lifelike, and all wear different facial expressions.
