The two illustrations combine the two routes of tea transportation in China's history, namely the "Tea Road of Ten Thousand Miles" and the "Maritime Silk Road", using horses as envoys and running through the route of the Ten Thousand Li Tea Road. Every time they arrive in a city, local characteristics are integrated, and the image of horses is also different, mainly reflected in the form of horses and the patterns on their saddles. The pattern on the saddle will change according to the urban characteristics of the destination city.
