What exactly does the picture of cattle grazing in Baoding Giant Buddha Bay depict?

The picture of cattle grazing in Baoding Giant Buddha Bay is 27 meters long and more than 5 meters high. With the curvature of the rock terrain, the whole picture is skillfully combined with the flowing water on the rock wall, carving rugged mountain roads and beautiful nymphs. In this natural beauty, 10 shepherds were carved and 10 buffaloes were released. In the picture, the shepherd boy sleeps naked, or sings, or laughs side by side, or whips the cow, or leads the cow to crawl, and the cow lies down, rests, eats grass, drinks water, licks his head high, or rides a horse. These lifelike statues are rich in scenes and interesting, showing the life of a shepherd boy in the Song Dynasty, just like an epic in the history of stone carving.

On the right side of the cattle grazing map is engraved "Song Dynasty minister Yang Ci's ode to cattle grazing".
