Whether it is the production, technique and decoration of the painting inside the bottle, the north and the south have their own characteristics. The Southern School, represented by Shantou, first polished the inner wall of the bottle into milky white with frosted stones, and then painted it. This makes the picture clearer and has the charm of Chinese painting. As a tool for painting inside, the hook-shaped pen holder is made of lead wire, and the soft and elastic wolf-hair tracing pen is sleeved at the pen tip, which makes the pen holding method closer to ordinary plane painting.

Influenced by the painting style of Lingnan School, Shantou's paintings are exquisite in lines and rich in colors. In addition, the painted gold and enamel outside the pot are magnificent and colorful, forming a unique style, showing people the artistic charm of "a small square inch is worth a thousand miles".
