Standing on the east shore north of Er Wang Temple, looking northwest at the dam, which has just been broken. A large crowd of spectators can be seen standing on the head of the Fishmouth. In the right foreground, another large crowd watches the dam opening, many of them wearing changshan, or scholar's gowns. A temporary weir of stone can also be seen in the foreground running parallel to the eastern shoreline.

This image belongs to a series of images that Don Willmott took while he was teaching English at the Ming Hsien School, which had moved to northwest of Chengdu during WWII. He used 6 of these images in a slide lecture that he presented at a variety of venues in the 2000s.
